RECEIVE CITY MANAGER'S STATUS REPORT Mr. Savage advised the Council that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers office in Fort Worth has advised him that within 20 to 30 days the city would have a license to operate Stewart's Creek Park on a one-year lease arrangement. Mr. Savage stated that the soon-to-be-completed park grants did not include monies for the seeding of the fields and the installation of water lines to these fields and that a change order in the amount of $18,000 will be included for their review at the next Council meeting. He stated that the Cancer Drive would begin in the City of The Colony on Monday, April 12th and that Dee Cole and Marlene Poole had been appointed co-chairmen for the city. He told the Council that two new firemen, Ralph Meredith and Kenny C. Adamcik, were employed by the city today. Regarding the Stewart's Creek Road right of way, Mr. Savage advised the Council that the appraising firm of R. L. Denton did advise him that the cost of a second appraisal would be between $2,500 and $3,000, and --' it could be completed within 30 days. He told the Council that the Goals Committee would be presenting a report to the Council at the April 19th meeting. Mr. Savage stated that at the last Park and Recreation Board meeting The Colony Jaycees did present for their consideration a request to use the North Colony Complex park site for a circus. Mr. Savage referred them to their memorandum in their packet regarding the Board's report. He stated that the circus needs 2.86 acres for the circus with a tent covering, which is 200' x 500'. The Jaycees did recommend this Complex area primarily because of parking facilities already located there, as well as the central location of the park. He advised that the Parks and Recreation Board did support the idea of a carnival as a valuable leisure experience and also thought that the October 31st date would be a good day for the carnival due to the recent decline in the number of trick-or-treaters at Halloween. However, the Board could not support the Complex for the location of the circus due to the number of athletic fields that are currently on the site. Mr. Savage advised that Mr. Herold, who could not be present this evening, also agreed with the Board's decision. The Board did vote in favor of supporting this endeavor with the understanding that a suitable site be found by the end of April, in order that the circus company could be officially notified. Mr. Savage advised that the Board did recommend The Colony Bank site, the west side of FM 423, the Lutheran Church site and possible use of IBM land. Mr. John Botkin, a member of The Colony Jaycees, advised the Council that they were checking into the locations suggested by the Parks and Recreation Board at this time. He then advised the Council of the things that must be done prior to the circus agreeing to perform in The Colony. Councilman Parker asked what kind of utilities were required. He advised that they required only access to water, as the circus supplied their own electrical generators. He did note that the -4- 001117 City of The Colony would have an additional 100 people using the city's facilities for a 24-hour period. Councilman Parker asked what facilities would be outside of the main tent area. Mr. Botkin stated that only a small petting booth would be outside of the tent. He assured the Council also that the Jaycees are responsible for maintaining the land used by the circus and would fill in any ruts or repair any other damage that the circus might do to the location. After further discussion, Acting Mayor North did endorse the firm of Carson Brown Circuses and advised Mr. Botkin to come back before the Council when a land site had been obtained. Mr. Savage stated that a citizen committee also came before the Parks and Recreation Board at the last meeting concerning working with the city to build and operate a community swimming pool. He stated that the committee was represented by Chairman Nick Oprea and engineer John Tucker. The committee did present a proposed pool, which included a dressing area, meeting room and concession area. The talk about the location was centered around the Office Creek Park area. He advised that the Parks and Recreation Board registered the following questions: Legalities of the project, location concerns, operational cost, how funds would be secured by the citizen committee, does the pool size represent demographics of The Colony, can pool be designed and be placed in an area that would allow for a possible addition of a recreation center or community building. Mr. Savage did state that this was the first discussion before the Board and that the Board did vote unanimously to recommend to the City Council that the citizen committee work with city officials to ascertain the possibility of this project, particularly the financing, and further requested that additional informa- tion come back to the Parks and Recreation Board to keep them informed on the matter. Mr. Savage stated that April 24th The Colony Public Library was planning for a Grand Opening complete with a mini-parade and urged all to attend. Mr. Savage advised that he, Councilman Sample and Councilman Dodds did attend a meeting on Monday, March 30th. Collin County requested the participation and support of Denton County officials when they appeared before the State highway Commission for inclusion in the State's new twenty- year expansion plan. At the last regular City Council meeting, Mr. Savage stated that a citizen asked several questions about the City's truck parking ordinance and that the Council did request that he review these parking requirements. He advised the Council that basically there are two types of regulations governing truck parking, one being zoning regulations, which provide that there shall be no off-street parking in residential, office or neighborhood service districts for any truck or truck trailer except a pickup or panel truck not exceeding a one-ton capacity. This requirement does prohibit the parking of large trucks and truck tractors in residential driveways, Mr. Savage explained. The traffic ordinance regulates the parking of vehicles on public property, stated Mr. Savage. Commercial motor vehicles are defined in this ordinance as "any motor vehicle designed and used for the transportation of property not including a passenger bus, passenger automobile, motorcycle, panel delivery truck or pickup truck, but including any other type of truck, trac- tor, trailer, semi-trailer, pole trailer or any combination thereof which has a gross registered carrying capacity of more than 4,000 pounds." These regulations make it legal to park commercial motor vehicles only on private property which is zoned for agricultural, shopping center, general retail, commercial, or industrial uses. The owners of such property do have the right to refuse to allow truck parking on their individual property. He further stated that these regulations do exempt pickup trucks and panel trucks from the commercial motor vehicle registration, even though they are used for commercial purposes. Based on this, it is possible for a panel truck to park legally on city streets but not park legally in a residential driveway, if the vehicle's carrying capacity exceeds one ton but is not more than two tons. Councilman Sample stated that he did understand these regulations, but his primary concern was with the large amount of parking along Baker Drive, which is a residential street width but is used as a collec- tor street by many motorists. -5- 001118 9. CONSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT ON A LAND TRACT LOCATED ON BRANCH HOLLOW DRIVE BEHIND STOP 'N GO Mr. Tom Cravens, representative of Fox &Jacobs, Inc., was present to present the preliminary and final plat to the Council. He stated that the proposed purpose of this land was for a Goodyear store and a car wash. Acting Mayor North was concerned with accessibility to this area. Mr. Cravens did advise the Council that they would be paving the Frivate roadway that runs from Branch Hollow Drive to FM 423. Mr. Bradburry stated that the property was already zoned general retail. Mr. Savage advised them that in their packet was a memorandum from Janice Carroll, City Secretary, advising them that the Planning & Zoning Commission did review these plans at their March 24th meeting, and did approve the preliminary and final plat as presented. After a brief discussion, Councilman Parker moved that the preliminary and final plat of the tract being 277 feet long with a width of 137.98 feet located on Branch Hollow Drive behind Stop 'N Go adjacent to a day care center be approved as presented contingent on the site plan being approved at a later date. Seconded by Councilman Dodds, the motion was passed by the following roll call vote: Ayes: All members present voted aye Noes: none 10. RECEIVE CATV STATUS REPORT Mr. Savage at this time introduced Mr. John Risher, President of CATV, Mr. Rich Ushery, Manager of the CATV Colony facility and Janet Wyman, Director of Programming. Mr. Risher did advise the Council that at their request a mail drop has been installed to the right of the front door of their facility. He also advised the Council that they would like to offer the use of their meeting rooms for future Council meetings. On behalf of the Council, Acting Mayor North accepted and thanked CATV for their generous offer. Mr. Risher then advised the Council that many of their reporting problems were due to telephone communication and stated that they will have a direct call line for after hours in the near future. Mr. Rich Ushery gave the Council a construction update. He advised the Council that the area south of North Colony Boulevard and west of the Lone Star Gas easement is presently receiving service. He then stated that Area No.1, being located north of North Colony Boulevard, west of the Lone Star Gas easement and east of the Texas Power & Light easement with the northernmost street being Rearn Drive was to be released for marketing on April 5th as a hot area. He further advised that Area No. 2, which is bounded by the Texas Power & Light easement on the east, Ragan Road on the west and North Colony Boulevard to the south, should have construction completed by today's date, with only some splicing of electronics to be completed before it is released to marketing. He advised that Area No. 3, bounded by North Colony Boule- vard on the south, Ragan Road on the east and FM 423 on the west would be the next area to be completed. He noted that a small section west of FM 423 on Stewart's Creek Peninsula was also being supplied feeder cable in a joint venture project with other utility companies. Mr. Risher further advised that an extra crew had been brought to The Colony, and they did expect to have service to all areas in The Colony that were constructed by November 1980 by the May 18, 1982, deadline. Councilman Parker stated that he was concerned that the area along Reed had not been cleaned up, although construction had been completed a week ago. Mr. Ushery said he would check this out. Acting Mayor North was concerned that presently only 30 channels are available, while the original intent was to provide 36 channels. Mr. Ushery advised that six channels had been removed by the FCC and that they were in the process of adding new programming to these vacated areas. Councilman Adeler asked when they would have these local access channels available. He stated that part of the equipment was re- ceived today but not all of the equipment was in at this time. Councilman Parker stated that he had heard that CATV was experiencing financial problems, and that they did plan to sell out this local franchise upon completion. Mr. Risher assured the Council that the answer was no to both questions. There followed a general discussion of other facilities to be offered by CATV, as well as construction timetable in the new areas. Mr. Risher did request that a work session with the new Council be planned for the near future. OO1119 11. RECEIVE STATUS REPORT FROM TEXAS WASTE MANAGEMENT Mr. John Gustafson was present representing Texas Waste Management and gave a slide presentation to the Council regarding trash pickup problems in The Colony. Mr. Gustafson advised the Council that the primary problem is citizens setting out their trash bags early, and the use of trash bags that are not heavy enough to contain the trash properly. It was agreed that the alleyways that do not have rear entrances were the main problems in the city, as many of the residents in this area literally threw their trash bags over the fence, creating a breakage problem as well as trash bags in the alley right of way. There followed a brief discussion regarding the type of bags used by the City of Farmers Branch. The Council did direct the staff to look into this type of bagging for The Colony. Councilman Parker noted that he had received several complaints regarding the trash trucks speeding in the alleyways and requested that this be looked into by Mr. Gustafson. Councilman Parker also asked if Texas Waste Manage- ment would help the city in the cleanup of Stewart's Creek Park. Mr. Gus- tafson stated that they certainly would help the city in this endeavor. Re- garding bulky-item pickup, Councilman Sample stated that he felt the omission of construction material pickup was not intended to prohibit small-item pickups of construction materials but to prohibit large commercial construction pickups. Mr. Savage did agree with this intent but stated that the individual crew makes the decision on these matters. Mr. Savage did ask that it be a matter of the record that John Gustafson has worked with the staff and has been very responsive on any problems brought to him by the city. 12. CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNICATIONS GRANT RESOLUTION Mr. Savage advised the Council that in a memorandum included in their packet from Police Chief N. C. Ristagno, he did explain that the department wishes to submit an application for a Criminal Justice Grant to attempt funding for a communications logger/recorder that will enable the department to record all incoming emergency phone calls as well as all radio communications. He further advised in his memorandum, Mr. Savage stated, that the logger/ recorder will also inject time of day per radio transmission or phone call. The total project cost is $6,214. If the grant is approved, the city must fund 25% of the equipment cost or $1,254. The Criminal Justice Department will not provide funding for the Fire Department and, therefore, the city must pick up the cost for Fire Department usage. Based on anticipation of 10% of the calls being for the Fire Department, the total cost to the city would be $1,755. The following breakdown was presented for the Council to review: CJD Support: Equipment $3,259.75 Supplies and direct operating costs 949.00 Indirect costs 250.00 Sub-total 4,458.75 City's Portion: Grantee Contribution (25%) 1,253.00 Fire Usage (10%) 501.50 Cost to City 1,755.00 Total Project Cost 6,214.00 At this time, Acting Mayor North read aloud the following Resolution: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF THE COLONY, TEXAS, APPROVING THE SUBMISSION OF A GRANT APPLICATION TO THE TEXAS CRIMINAL JUSTICE DIVISION FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE COMMUNI- CATIONS DIVISION OF THE COLONY POLICE DEPARTMENT AND PLEDGING PAYMENT OF THE LOCAL SHARE OF THE COST OF THIS COMMUNICATION DIVISION.

The motion was seconded by Councilman Dodds. Prior to voting, Councilman Dodds asked which line item in the budget provided for these costs. Mr. Savage stated that this would probably come from the classification No. 69, Other Equipment. Councilman Parker did have a question regarding maintenance. Lieutenant Carroll was present at the meeting and advised that a one-year maintenance contract was provided in the initial cost, however, after this first year, he did expect for the cost of a maintenance contract to run approximately $500. Acting Mayor North asked what the legal ramifications for not having this equipment would be to the city. Lieutenant Carroll advised that there was no legal requirement for the city having this equipment, but that the Police and Fire Departments were liable if any misinformation was given. Councilman Sample asked that it be clarified that the city did have a right to refuse this grant even upon approval. Mr. Savage advised that they certainly could refuse it even after application had been made. There being no further questions, Acting Mayor North called for a vote on the motion on the floor. The motion carried by the following roll call ---- vote: Ayes: All members present voted aye Noes: None 13. CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZATION ORDINANCE TO PAY DENTON COUNTY ELECTRIC CO-OPERATIVE FOR THE REMOVAL OF LINES ALONG FM #423 Mr. Savage advised the Council that the city is responsible for the payment of the relocation of the utility lines for the widening of FM 423. Denton County Electric Co-Operative does have an electric line that needs to be moved, and the estimated cost for this work is $41,859.07. He advised the Council that the city will have to pay the Co-Op. for the work after comple- tion, and that this will be paid out of the 1982 bond sale funds. He stated this is a one-time expenditure and that the original cost estimate was $60,000. At this time, Acting Mayor North read aloud the following caption: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF THE COLONY, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDITURE OF BOND FUNDS; AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A CONTRACT BY THE CITY MANAGER TO PROVIDE FOR THE RELOCATION OF ELECTRIC UTILITIES IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY OF FARM TO MARKET 423; AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE A UNIT PRICE CHANGE IF NECESSARY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. ~.

Mr. Savage stated that he did not know but would check on this and advise them at a later date.
