CONSENT AGENDA
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES: For March 2,
2004.
MAIN AGENDA
CONSIDER ENGINEERING CONTRACT WITH RL GOODSON FOR DESIGN OF
STREET AND SCREENING WALL CONSTRUCTION ALONG DUBLIN, NORTH
OF SMU BOULEVARD: A proposal from R.L. Goodson was submitted in the amount of
$34,850 to provide engineering and surveying services associated with the design of
street, utility and screening wall improvements in the area along Dublin from SMU Blvd
to McFarlin Blvd. The wall will be 8' in height from the alley north of SMU Blvd north
to McFarlin Blvd. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved approval of the contract subject to
deletion of the limit of liability clause. Councilmember Holmes seconded, and the vote
was unanimous to approve the contract for the design of the street and screening wall
construction.
CONSIDER INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF
RICHARDSON FOR COOPERATIVE PURCHASING OF EMS SUPPLIES: An
Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with the City of Richardson for Cooperative
Purchasing of EMS Supplies was submitted. The City's contract with Emergency
Medical Products, Inc. (EMP) for EMS supplies recently expired. Staff requested that the
City of University Park piggyback on the City of Richardson's existing contract for EMS
supplies with the same vendor, allowing the city to benefit from prices offered to a larger
entity. This will allow the city to continue working with EMP, who has provided good
products and customer service over the years. Councilmember Roberts moved approval
of the agreement. Mayor Pro Tem Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous to
approve the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with the City of Richardson.

355
gardens in Volk Estates on May 18, 2004, 5:30-8:00PM. Approximately 300 to 400
people are expected. An off-duty police officer will assist with the event. Preparations
will begin in the park at 2:00 p.m. and clean up will be completed by approximately 9:00
p.m. Mayor Pro Tern Davis moved approval of the request. Councilmember Holmes
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the use of Goar Park by the Dallas
Arboretum. Mr. & Mrs. Howard Meyers, representing the Arboretum, thanked the city
