Include all relevant details; attach all relevant reports: On Saturday, May 24, 2003 at about 1750frs, Officer Jackie P. Rymer, #144 was dispatched to the 7000 block of Hillcrest regarding the report of a reckless driver that was traveling north on Hillcrest. At the time that Officer Rymer received this call he was traveling south in the 7000 block of Hillcrest and observed the suspect vehicle run the red light at the intersection with Lovers Lane. Officer Rymer attempted to effect a traffic stop on this vehicle; however, the vehicle continued north on Hillcrest eventually turning east into the 3300 block of Hanover. At this time the vehicle accelerated striking the north curb and then sped away from Officer Rymer at a high rate of speed running the stop signs at Airline and Durham. When Officer Rymer lost sight of the vehicle, he terminated the pursuit, but remained in the area to search for the vehicle. Several minutes later Officer Rymer located the suspect vehicle parked in a residential driveway in the north alley 2800 Hanover. As he was performing checks on the vehicle a Hispanic male, who was later identified as URQUIZA, Fidel approached him and entered the suspect vehicle on the driver side. Officer Rymer confronted URQUIZA and instructed him to exit the vehicle. URQUIZA refused, started the vehicle, placed it in gear and began to back out of the driveway. As he did this the front end of the suspect vehicle struck Officer Rymer's right leg. The vehicle then fled east in the alley breaking through construction barricades that had been erected to protect an area where a concrete slab had been removed from the alley leaving a large hole. After the vehicle broke through these barricades it became stuck in the hole. Seeing this, Officer Rymer, though injured, ran to the vehicle and again confronted URQUIZA; however, due to his injury, Officer Rymer was unable to maintain control of URQUIZA who broke free from Officer Rymer fleeing east in the alley on foot and then south on Boedeker. URQUIZA was subsequently captured a few minutes later by other officers responding to the scene. As a result of the injury sustained by Officer Rymer he was transported by ambulance to Presbyterian Hospital where an initial examination revealed serious damage to Officer Rymer's knee. This injury occurred in the line of duty, and further, URQUIZA was charged with Aggravated Assault. Officer Rymer's conduct during this incident was in staying with the highest traditions of law enforcement. He exhibited a high degree of bravery and courage in attempting to apprehend URQUIZA even though he was seriously injured. His dedication to duty enabled him to perform at an exemplary level until he was unable to due so because of his injury. Officer Rymer's actions reflect great credit on himself, the law enforcement profession and the University Park Police Department. For these reasons he is worthy of receiving the Police Purple Heart and a Police Commendation AWARD RECOMMENDATION/NOMINATION FORM OFFICER RECOMMENDED/NOMINATED Travis Vavra RECOMMENDED/NOMINATED FOR Officer of the Year SHIFT/DIVISION Criminal Investigations Division SUBMITTED BY Captain Mike Brock DATE 12/10~03 Give the reason for your recommendation/nomination.

On 6/28/03 Officer Vavra contacted a Jennifer Loth by phone in an attempt to return property that she left by mistake on a front porch in the 3500 Marquette. During the phone conversation Ms. Loth said she was going to commit suicide by taking an overdose of prescription medication, and was in the process of writing a note. Loth advised that she was driving a car somewhere in Garland, Tx. Officer Vavra maintained phone contact with the subject for approximately 1 ~A hours in an attempt to learn her location, or possibly convince her to come to the police station for help. During the conversation Vavra remained calm and concerned and was able to build a rapport with the suicidal person. It was learned by information Vavra gathered that the subject was driving a rental car, and had a listed address in Dallas. She also stated she was in Garland at one point and drove through a bank drive in. A description of Loth and registration information on the vehicle she was driving was obtained by contacting her mother and friends. Officers from Dallas and Garland were notified to search for Loth. I contacted Loth's mother that lives in Wise County and learned that she suffers from a number of mental conditions and was currently taking a number of narcotics to treat them. She showed great concern for her daughter's welfare and advised that she had tried to commit suicide in the past. Loth has also been hospitalized for mental disorders in the past. Later Officer Vavra was able to obtain a location on Loth and even enlisted the help of a citizen to flag down Garland officers in the area. Garland P.D. took custody of the subject and transported her to Green Oaks Hospital for treatment. It is believed that Officer Vavra's actions should be commended for saving the life of this very distraught individual. Without his patience in keeping the subject on the phone we might never have gotten a description of the vehicle or been able to find her. Statements from physicians and Officers at the scene were not available.

There are days when meetings such as the PTA and Dad’s Club require additional space for parking. A request for the same restricted parking was denied for the 3500 block of Granada on September 5, 2002. Ms. Sherry Gottsacker, 34 22 Granada, represented those wishing the Residential Parking Zone Ordinance.

Councilmember Holmes moved approval of the bid. Mayor Pro Tem Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve Project No. 42730. DISCUSS REFERRING ISSUE OF CONTRACTOR SIGNAGE REGULATIONS TO UDAD AC: A letter received from Former Mayor Barbara Hitzelberger concerned the need for the City to re - address the issue of contractor temporary signage on new home construction. The requirements for temporary signage were amended by the Council in August and eliminated any construction signage that could not be considered real estate signage. Due to the somewhat loose definition of what constitutes a real estate sign in our sign ordinance, new homebuilders have continued to place their advertising signs on t he properties with the addition of the words “For Sale” or in most cases “Sold”. It is staff’s opinion that the Urban Design and Development Advisory Committee (UDADAC) should address the issue again and either change the definition of real estate signs or discuss other alternatives for eliminating more of the new home construction signs. Councilmember Holmes moved the issue be referred to UDADAC for discussion at the January 12, 2004 meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous to re fer the issue of contractor signage regulations. REPORT ON TRAFFIC: Police Chief Gary Adams made a presentation before the City Council, which included the following information. On October 15, 2003, six - year old Ann Kathryn Kerwin lost her life after be ing struck by a vehicle at the intersection of Hillcrest and Purdue. This accident was the first pedestrian fatality in University Park in thirteen years. However, because of the tragedy associated with this matter, Council asked that a traffic report be p repared for presentation. This report was generated by utilizing data collected by the Police Department since 1990. The numbers and types of accidents have remained consistent, since a decline in 1992, from over 700 reported accidents a year to fewer tha n 600 accidents a year. In 1990, there were a total of 733 accidents reported. Of that total, 103 were injury accidents, 390 non - injury, 4 pedestrian - related, 0 fatalities, 79 hit and run, and 157 no - reports. Year to date for 2003, there have been 501 t raffic accidents with 66 injury accidents, 234 non - injury, 3 pedestrian - related, 2 fatalities, 54 hit and run and 142 no - reports. In conjunction with traffic accidents, the Department has included information on citations issued during the same time perio d. The total number of citations, excluding parking citations, issued by year since 1990 are as follows: 1990 – 6644; 1991 – 6239; 1992 – 5520; 1993 – 5410; 1994 – 5709; 1995 – 6546; 1996 – 5357; 1997 – 7364; 1998 – 4593; 1999 – 3926; 2000 – 3681; 2001 – 3155; 2002 – 3997. The number of traffic accidents reported for the calendar year 2002, 568, is less then the number of accidents reported prior to1995, with the exception of 1994, when there were a total of 563 accidents reported, or a differen ce of five accidents. The year - to - date total for 2003 is 501. While it is obvious there was a drop between the years 1997 and 1998, it is probable that legislation passed in 1995 played a significant roll in the matter. CONSIDER RESOLUTION FOR A REPRE SENTATIVE TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT (DCAD): Councilmember Holmes moved approval of the resolution, which specifically directs Sharon Barbosa - Crain as the candidate for whom the City is casting it’s vote.

Smallwood, P.E. Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Ordinance to amend Planned Development District No. 22 (6101 Hillc rest) - item tabled from 12.09.03 agenda. Background. The City Council received comment on this item at the public hearing conducted at their 12.09.03 meeting. So that further consideration could be given to the issue, the item was tabled until the 01.0 6.04 Council meeting. Since the 12.09.03 meeting, the applicant has indicated that he is modifying the plans for the proposed hotel to provide a "setback" of the top story of the building. Their intent is to reduce the mass of the building and improve the aesthetic appearance of the building. The setback reflects a reduction (in square footage) from the original floor plan of about twenty (20%) percent. The Council raised two questions during the previous discussion of the proposed hotel: ? ? What is the hei ght of the existing structures to the west and south of the proposed hotel? The multifamily structure to the south is 32' and the daycare facility to the west is 34. ? ? How many parking spaces are to be provided? In GR zoning, 52 spaces would be required - on e for each room. The proposal calls for a total of 63 spaces - 33 full size (9' x 20'), 27 compact (8.5' x 16'), and 3 handicap. Technically, 11 of the spaces cannot be counted, because they are "tandem" or "stadium" parking. Section 24.302(7) of the Zonin g Ordinance indicates that "when the required number of parking spaces for any use is equal to or greater than forty, twenty - five (25%) percent of the spaces may be small car spaces" . If this were in GR, 25% of the required 52 spaces would be 13. The appli cant has stated that valet service will relieve any parking issues. Discussion. Staff recommends that the adopting ordinance amending PD - 22 be approved per the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission. 3800 UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS 75205 TELEPHONE (214) 363 - 1644 C: \ Documents and Settings \ nwilson \ Local Settings \ Temporary Internet Files \ OLK21 \ AM.Eureka Hotel.PD22.01.06.04.doc 2 : 44 PM 12 / 31 ORDINANCE NO. ___________________________ 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 AMEND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRI CT NO. 22 FOR THE PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS LOTS 1, 2, AND 3 OF BLOCK D, UNIVERSITY ANNEX NO. 2, AN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, AND MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS 6101 HILLCREST, UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS; APPROVING A SITE PLAN; 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 TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,000.00) FOR EACH OFFENSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Consider Ordinance ___ amending the Ordinance 90/6, a special sign district for the Plaza at Preston Center by designating specifications for signs for the Tom Tom Noodle House. Background. At their December meeting, the Urban Design & Development Advisory reviewed a request from the management company for the Plaza a t Preston Center. Any new sign within the shopping center that does not conform to the City's sign ordinance or the above - referenced special sign district, must be reviewed by the UDADAC. The request for a sign along the south facade of the Tom Tom Noodle, 8420 Preston Center Plaza, would not typically be allowed, because that frontage is along an alley right - of - way. After considerable discussion, the committee voted unanimously to reduce the size of the requested sign and recommend Council approval. A sec ond request from the applicant to increase the size of the sign on the west face of the building, adding a logo - type figure, was denied by the Committee. Discussion. The Urban Design and Development Advisory Committee recommends City Council approval o f a sign along the south façade of the Tom Tom Noodle House. The attached ordinance details the committee's suggested specification for the sign. 3800 UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS 75205 TELEPHONE (214) 363 - 1644 C: \ Documents and Settings \ nwilson \ Local Settings \ Temporary Internet Files \ OLK21 \ AM.Tom Tom NH.

Smallwood, P.E. Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Consider Ordinance ___ abandoning a sanitary sewer easement across the residential property located at 6821 Golf. Background. Pursuant to the discussion at the 12.09.03 City Council meeting, I asked the City Attorney to develop an ordinance abandoning the sanitary sewer easement running across the residential property located at 6821 Golf. The fair market value (FMV) for the property was established by the purchase price at $54.91 per square foot. The City's policy on previous abandonments has been to value rights - of - way at 100% of the FMV and easements at 25% of FMV. Therefore the 600 square foot easement (10 feet by 60 feet) would be $8,236.50. In addition to paying the City for its property right in the easement, the abandonment must be subject to the relocation of sanitary sewer services from the old sewer in the r ear of the properties at 6821 and 6825 Golf to the front of the properties. Discussion. Staff recommends City Council approval of the abandonment ordinance, subject to the owners of the two properties at 6821 and 6825 Golf relocating their sanitary sewer services to the front of the property. 3800 UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS 75205 TELEPHONE (214) 363 - 1644 C: \ Documents and Settings \ nwilson \ Local Settings \ Temporary Internet Files \ OLK21 \ AM.6821 Golf.ss easement abandon ord.01.06.04.doc 10 : 58 AM 12 / 31 / 03 ORDINANCE NO. _________________ AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, ABANDONING A SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT “A”, TO THE ABUTTING OWNER, DAVID COATS D/B/A LEWIS RUSSELL HOMES IN CONSIDERATIO N OF THE PAYMENT OF $8,238.00; 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 OF THE CITY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

The pole and fixture are made by the same manufacture and are of the same ? ? style and type as t hose currently being installed by the City.
