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

Life Saving Award
Submitted By: Sgt. John L. Ball
. 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.

T he Vulnerability (Risk) Assessment is designed to evaluate threats to utility sites and
identify key mitigation measures that can be implemented to address those possible threats. We
believe our firm is uniquely qualified to provide these assessments, due to our vast experience in
the security field. Our security experts have also attended the AWWA/EPA (RAM - W) seminar
for Vulnerability Assessment training.
We work as a team when conducting a Risk Assessment. Our team consists of at least
one security exp ert, a consultant from the water industry, and law enforcement representatives.
We believe this team of security experts separates us from other firms who offer similar services.
We also install security systems for the protection of water and other util ities, which gives us
unique insight regarding security concerns relating to these sites. Most of our employees are
former law enforcement officers with many years of security experience.
A study for a site would include a review of the following: backgro unds on personnel,
backgrounds on vendors and others who visit the site, security of records (system maps,
accounting, customer list), emergency plan, source water storage, distribution system, electric
power, transportation, transmission system checklist, treatment facility checklist, finished water
storage, interdependent infrastructure, guideline information on emergency response, SCADA
communications, emergency contacts, crisis communications planning and response. Also, if
available, this report would include previous crime statistics in the area in order to provide
Please note
valuable insight regarding the types of threats to be aware of and protect against.
that the below listed prices will also include an Emergency Response Plan for the sites.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS APPOINTING AN
OFFICIAL PUBLIC NEWSPAPER FOR THE PUBLICATION OF ORDINANCES, LEGAL
NOTICES, AND ADVERTISEMENTS.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES: For November 11,
2003.
MAIN AGENDA
PUBLIC HEARING & ORDINANCE TO AMEND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
NO. 22 (6101 HILLCREST): The applicant sought an amendment to the existing planned
development in order to add an additio nal floor to the building. Before the public hearing was
opened, City Attorney Rob Dillard addressed the issue of serving alcohol in the hotel restaurant
stating that permission to serve alcohol comes from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission
(TABC) and is outside the control of the City. Mayor Peek then opened a public hearing. Mr.
Art Anderson, Eureka Holdings, representing the 6101 Hillcrest Group, L.P., made a brief
statement describing the property. There are plans for 52 rooms with 52 parking sp aces. The
hotel will have an asking price of $125.00 to $200.00 per night. Mayor Peek recognized nine (9)
citizens in favor of the project and six (6) in opposition. Mayor Peek closed the public hearing.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated his concern regarding the addition of a fourth floor and the
Council’s need for more time to absorb the details of the amendment. Councilmember Holmes
agreed and made a motion to table the ordinance amendment until the next meeting. Mayor Pro
Tem Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous to table the request until January 6, 2004.
CONSIDER RESIDENTIAL PARKING 3800 BLOCK MCFARLIN: Residents in the 3800
block of McFarlin requested a Residential Parking Only designation. The Council has
continually denied such requests in the past with the exception of the Residential Parking Zone
around Highland Park High School, which was done at the urging of the staff, school and
residents in the area. There have been no reported accidents in the 3800 block of McFarlin in the
past three (3 ) years, and emergency equipment can respond to and through the area without any
problems. Mr. Robert Higginbotham, 6153 Glennox Lane, Dallas, Texas 75214, Scoutmaster
For Boy Scout Troop No. 82, Highland Park Presbyterian Church, spoke in opposition to t he
request. Six (6) other citizens attending the meeting also opposed the request. Mr. Rex Curtis,
Director of Facilities at Highland Park Presbyterian Church represented Dr. Ron Scates, Senior
Minister, stating the church wishes to be a good neighbor an d would defer to the
recommendation of the Chief of Police. Councilmember Holmes moved the request be denied.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous to deny Residential Parking Only
in the 3800 block of McFarlin.
CONSIDER PETITION FOR RE SIDENTIAL PARKING 3400 BLOCK GRANADA: Residents
in the 3400 block of Granada requested a Residential Parking Zone Ordinance for their block on
the north side only, due to the inconvenience created during school hours at McCulloch
Intermediate School as wel l as events at Southern Methodist University (SMU). Residents
believe there are ample parking spaces on the school’s parking lot and at SMU; however, a check
with a school district official indicates there is not sufficient parking on both lots for facult y,
staff and volunteers. 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. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that
residential parking zones are not granted because traffic experts do not believe they are helpful
and only push cars to other blocks. Councilmem ber Shawver moved the request be denied.
Councilmember Holmes seconded, and the vote was unanimous to deny a Residential Parking
Zone Ordinance in the 3400 block of Granada.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE AMENDMENT OF THE PLAZA AT PRESTON CENTER
SPECIAL SIGN DISTRIC T: The amendment includes the placement of three (3) lighted
“pylons” at the entrance to Preston Center at Villanova and Preston. The pylons will be used to
display tenant names that do not have frontage along Preston or Northwest Highway. The Urban
Desi gn and Development Advisory Committee felt the pylons would be an enhancement to the
Preston Center’s entrance and a great improvement over the existing tenant sign. Mayor Pro
Tem Davis moved approval of the ordinance to amend Ordinance No. 90/6 allowing three (3)
lighted pylons to be used as tenant signage at Villanova and Preston. Councilmember Holmes
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the ordinance amendment.

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. Mayor Pro Tem Da vis seconded, and the vote was unanimous

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.

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.

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.

MEMORANDUM
DATE:
December 31 , 2003
TO:
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:
Bob Livingston, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Proposal from Jim Doster to Transfer Ownership of a Street Light Located
at the Corner of Airline and Northwest Parkway to the City
Previously, Mr. Doster installed a light at this location by purchasing a pole and fixture of
the same type as those currently installed by the City on portions of Hillcrest, Lovers
Lane and other miscellaneo us locations in the City. The fixture may be on right - of - way
owned by the City of Dallas.
The City has not installed these types of fixtures in other residential locations due to cost.
We are aware of at least one other location where a property owner paid for a similar
installation. Additionally, I was recently approached by another resident who indicated
that he might be interested in a similar arrangement.
I believe the City should consider accepting this light, along with any others that an
ind ividual resident may wish to have installed, as long as the following conditions are
met:
The property owner agrees to pay the full cost of the pole and fixture.
? ?
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.
The property owner will pay all costs of under grounding the electrical service
? ?
to the nearest feasible location for connection to the Oncor system.
The pole and fixture are to be located in an area where it is d etermined a
? ?
streetlight would otherwise be provided.
The location is on the public right - of - way or easement.
? ?
If these conditions are met, the City will agree to the following:
We will pay the energy charge for the light to our electrical service provider .
? ?
We will maintain the fixture and pole.
? ?
The City will handle the necessary permitting with another jurisdiction if the
? ?
light is located on that jurisdiction’s right - of - way.

I believe this will provide an alternative to residents wishing to upgrade a fix ture adjacent
to their home. In the end, it will also upgrade the overall appearance of the City.

RE: "Period Pole Gilt"
Dear Bob,
Please accept my gift to the City of University Park of (1) existing "Period
Pole" located on the SW corber o£Northwest Parkway & Airline inside
University Park.
Currently the electrical is supplied and paid lbr ~om my home, I would
also like to extend at this time an offer to re-route the electrical from the
pole headed South under the parkway 'and then install an electrical service
complete with photo cell at the first utility pole located about 15' From the
alley approach. ( the electrical would, be done in January at the same time
Airline is being rep]aced since the space would be wide open) NOTE: The
conduit would run South from the pole underground between the curb and side
walk, thus staying inside University Park.
The value of this gift including the proposed new electrical work is approx
$4700.00
