Gentlemen:
As requested in our meeting today at noon, Aerosmith
Denton Corporation plans to build two rows of T-Hangars
and a connecting, office building per the ple)t plan shown
to you today.
The westerly row of T-Hangars will probably consist of
17 to 22 hangars depending on market requirements and will I
be of equal to or neater quality then the 35 T-Hangars
71
existing today built under the 1975 contract, Our estimates
of cost for these hangars will be in excess-of $6,500 per j
unit. The hangar floor will be asphalt and no wiring is
initially anticipated.
The easterly row of T-Hangars will be 60' -aide by approx-
imately 440 long,and are to be designed to accomodate
cabin class aircraft. Deper.ding on when built, the over-
all cost should be approximately 6150,000.
The office and warehouse building to be built between the
existing easterly row of T-Hangars and the new row is
estimated at a cost of approximately 6100,000.
In accordance with our contract, Aerosmith Denton will
agree to grant the City first option to buy these facilities
at construction cost oL appraisal (whichever is higher)
escallated at the same rate as the Consumer Price Tndex
basis to be used in the anticipated amended 197 co tract.
n erely,

Denton, Texas 762A f,• Dear Mr. Isham:
In response to your request, r have made an appraisal of the property known 7.,
` as "The Old Post Office" located at 210 North Locust and legally described
as'ALL of Block 103, City of Denton, Denton County, Texas.
The purpose of this appraisal was to estimate the fair market value of the ,
subject property as of January 2, 1979. The concept of market value as used
in this es'%Amate is the price a property will bring in 'a competitive market
under all conditions requisite to a fair sale which would result from nego-
tiations between a buyer and a seller, each acting prudently, with knowledge
and without undue stimulus. (Society of Residential Appraisers)
The subject site is an entire city block bounded by Locust, Pecan, Austin,
and McKinney Streets with dimensions of 140' x 120' x 136.6' x 120.7' and
containing 16,644.41 sq. ft. The tract slopes,to the East, however;,the
r~ improvements were constructed to take advantage of the slope. The disad-
vantages are accessibility and lack of parking area,, which I have considered
as functional obsolescence in this appraisal. 'I•

In order to estimate the land value of the subject property, sales of com-
paeable'properties*In the downtown area were selected and analyzed. Adiust-
{ ments:Were made for time, location and pplottage. As a result of my analysis; '
the land value of,.the subject property is estimated as followst r

e
SUBJECTi Staff recommendations on proposed legislation
i
Attached to this memo are staff recommendations on some of
the legislation currently before the State Legislature. Jack Owen$
Paul Isham, Bob Nelson and I worked together in developing these
t recommendations. on legislation dealing with law enforcement and
fire protection we received the recommendations of the Police and
1 Fire Chiefs.
? We did not deyelop a staff position on every airy related bill
j submitted. We went through all of the bills submitted and selected
those that were, in our estimation, pertinent to our situation.
We also chose to not address those bills dealing with tax legislation.
As you know there have been a large nua+ber of, tax related bills
submitted during this session and it was Paul's opinion that we
should not wads our time with all of these bills now, but wait until
later in the session to sea which of these bills come forward for
serious consideration.
I would also point out that we encountered several bills that
we did not feel the staff should take a position on such as municipal
employee residency prohibitionst however we did feel that they should
be brought to the council's attention for any action they might want
to take.

MEMORANDUM
TO; Jack Owen
FROM: Rick Svehla
DATE: February 22, 1979
RE: Retaining Wall at Mrs. Murphy's
The Staff has reviewed the original estimate we made for Mrs.
Murphy's retaining wall. We can reduce the amount in the size
of the wall to any extent that the Council wishes, however, the
Council should be aware that there are certain limitations in
doing this. For instance, we can reduce the amounts of concrete
and steel needed to a point, after that the cost will probably
remain somewhat the same, since forming operations and labor
} operations will not diminish proportionately. To put it another s
way, any contractor is going to charge us a substantial amount
just to move in and provide the labor to build the wall.
The original design and estimate was done on the size of the well
that Mrs. Murphy requested. I believe that if we build any wall
that is not similar to what Mrs. Murphy requested, she will not be
satisfied. Obviously we will have spent a rather large affount of
money and not accomplished or satisfied the individual's request.
1
The Staff has re-estimated the cost of a shorter and thinner wall. 1
The wall would be approximately 2' high and 5" thick for the length
j of Mrs. Murphy's property. We estimate the coat of this wall to be
approximately $2,200.00 dollars. If this is not satisfactory to
the Council, please advise us and we will redesign the wall again. j

CITY OF DENTON
MEMORANDUM
DATE OF MEETING: February 27 1979
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM (USE EXACT WORDING AS ITEM IS TO BE PLACED ON
AGENDA):
Consider the request of the Denton County Community Council concerning
establishment of a sheltered workshop.
SUMMARY: The DCCC has requested that the City allow this organization to
use the Old Post office building for an extended period (5 to 15 years) to
establish a sheltered workshop. The estimated cost of rehabilitating the
building is $50,040 to $75,000. The DCCC would submit a grant proposal to
Texas Iehabilitation Commission requesting $465,000 to fund the building
rehabilitation costs and operating coats -.f the workshop.
ALTERNATIVES: If the Council decides. t,) rebid the Post office building as
the staff has recommended, then obviously tte resource will not be avail-
able to the DCCC. The staff has looked for alternativeways the City could
support the sheltered workshop service and the only likely alternative is
to reallcr¢ate funds from our 1980 Community Development Grant.
I Using the budget for the grant proposal to be submitted to TRC, the DCCC
could secure the amount they need with a cash match of $60,000 to $650000.
There are several items on the 1980 CD grant that could be reprogrammed,
but the most likely is a proposed sewer line that will be extended from
Alegre Vista to serve a small mobile home park' and several houses on Inman
Street. This 8" sewer line
is budgeted
at
$73g$00. The City could submit
a request to HUD that these funds be reprogrammed from this project to
fund the DCCC sheltered workshop. The remaining funds could, possibly,
be reallocated to fund reconstruction of entrances and restrooms at public
building in order to serve handicapped persons.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONi the staff feels that the sheltered workshop for
handicapped persons would provide an important service to the community.
HUD would have to approve any grant amendment, but the staff feels that
HUD would probably review the suggested amendment favotably.
The staff recommends that the Council refer the suggested grant program
J amendment to the City's Community Development Grant Advisory Committee for
study and recommendation.

'DATE OF MEETING: February 28, 1979 I '
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM (USE EXACT WORDING AS ITEM IS TO HE PLACED ON
AGENDA):
Consider bids submitted on the Old Post Office.
SUMNARYt The City Council, after reviewing a request from the Denton
County Community Council for use of the building, instructed the staff to
advertise the Old Post Office for bids. The building was advertised on
January 30 and three bids and bid deposits were received on February 16.
FISCAL SUMMARY! The three bide are outlined on the bid summary sheet.
The high bid is $10li000.
ALTERNATIVdSt The Council could accept the high bid or reject all bide
and instruct the staff tot a) rebid the Old Post Office
b) renew negotiations with the DCCC concerning
use of the building
c) retain the building for possible future
municipal use.
STAFF RECONNENDATY Nt The City staff is recommending that the Council
j reject all bids because they are substantially less than the value of the
building indicated by the appraisal, The staff additionally recommends
that'we rebid the Post Office building.
The Purchasing Department'feele that with a longer bid period of perhaps`
three months and with it broad advertisement of the building in the regional
market, we can probably realise better bids, The staff would additionally
recommend that in soliciting bide, we also require proposals for use of
the building, Tits Post Office building is in a key location between the
government offices on McKinney Street and the Square. If the building
could be adapted for a nice restaurant or perhaps as office comploxg it
could have vary beneficial effects on the downtown area. it is our view
that the public interest will not be served if the building is purchased
for speculation and is allowed to sit vacant, Recently, As several cities
considered the sale of important properties (Dallas, in sale of the Mobil
building and Dort North in the sale of Greater Southwest Airport), they
have requested land use proposals be submitted along with bids,
ACTION REQUIRED! The Council should take action on the bide submitted.
In order to follow the staff recommendations the Council should move to
reject all bide and instruct the staff to develop 'a new bid package that
would require proposals for use,
The staff will need to research the technical issues and will submit this
bid package for Council consideration before the property is resubmitted
for bid.

I
qvest , h ve made an appraisal of the p
pert Old Post Office" located at 210 North Locust and legallydescribedn
as'ALL.of Block 103. City of Denton, Denton County, Texas, i
The purpose of this appraisal was to estimate the fair market value of the
subject property as of January 2, 1979. The concept of market value as used `
An this estimate is the price a property will bring in'a competitive market
under all conditions requisite to a fair sale which would result from nego-
tiations between a buyer and a seller, each acting prudently, with knowledge
and without undue stimulus. (Society of ResidenttaT Appraisers)
.',I "iY:' . ' \ i f. 'r lY lyr r1p~!7 r I
The subject site is an entire city block bounded by Locust, Pecan, Austin,
and McKinney Streets with dimensions of 140' x 1201 x 136.61 x 120,71 and
containing 16,644.41 sq, ft. The tract slopes to the East; however,.the
improvements were constructed to take advantage of the slope. The disad-
vantages are accessibility and lack of parking area, which I have considered
as functional obsolescence in this appraisal.

In'order to estimate' the land value of the subject propertyo sales of com-
j parable.'properties4n the downtown area were selected and analyzed, Adjust- ;
ments.i4ere made for time, location and plottagge. As a result of my aria sis, 4
the land value of the subject property'is,estimated as follows y '

The subject improvements consist of a one story and basement office-

Is not limited to that single use. The building consists of 16 650 sq$ ft.,,
of which 3,657 sq, ft., is in the, main office, 5,768 sq: ft, is In the first

Capital Improvement Planning Process
February 27, 1979
e~ -ware,the city developed and adopted its first Capital Improve-
ment Plan (CIP) in 1977. This plan consisted of a priority ranking of
projects to be constructed from the general fund and contained project
descriptions and costs. This initial plan was revised last summer, prin-
cipally by adding one project year in the five year planning period.
The capital improvement plan already has had an important influence by
serving as the foundation fnr the recent successful bond issue. The CIP
Is a vital part of the physical and fiscal planning for the city, and the
staff is recommending some changes concerning the manner in which capital
projects are determined that we feel would be improvements. 11
We are recommending establishment of a formal CIP planning process and ~
schedule. It is also recommended that the CIP incorporate projects funded
by revenue accounts. In addition, we are suggesting changes to the plan
format so that issues such as project scheduling and operating costs will
be considered In the CIP .
I have included several pa es with this memo which are proposed to be the
introduction to the new capital improvement plan document, This Introduc-
tion outlines the proposed CIP process and Scope.

INTRODUCTION TO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
1
Objective of Capital Improvement Planning
The purpose of a capital improvement plan (CIP)•it to determine the
priorities for Capital expenditures and to coordinate the projects selected.
Capital improvements are the most direct means available to cit
y'government
to implement the goals and physical structure proposed in the comprehensive ti
plan. The first objective of the CIP is to decide the most effective way
to allocate our limited capital improvement dollar in light of these goals.
The CIP has a second benefit of coordinating the city's physical and
I
fiscal planning. I'inplly, the CIP provides r,eans to coordinate capital
I ,
Improvement projects administered by different city departments,
The CIP is adopted as a plan kith the knowledge that it will be revised
and amended in response to changing circumstances. Each year the entire
plan is reviewed -in a comprehensive way and one new year, is added within
the five year planning framework '(an outline describing the process and
schedule for the annual CIP review is included), In unusual circumstances
the CIP may be amended in mid year. It is important to recognize that
changes do not necessarily invalidate the plan. Amendments developed
through the planning process which better meet our community goals,, and
i
which are coordinated with our fiscal planning and other capital projects,
{ are desirable,
-Organization of the Capital Improvement Plan Document
The CIP is a five year plan, and the document Is divided into five'"
secitons- one for each year. The individual projects are listed under the
.
following functional categories, These eatogories are arranged
alphabeti-cally within each section,

Projects can be located, knowing th't organization, by thumbing through
the book, There is also an index grouping :,fmilar projects. Each project'
Is listed in the index by name and project number. The project number is a
two part designation such as 80.15. The first part (80) refers to the year
the project is proposed for construction. The second part (15) functions
like a page number within each section, The project number is simply used
to designate projects, and does not indicate priority.
The plan also has an appendix that provides the basic data from which
the plan was developed. This includes the entire list of capital improve-
ments suggested but not included in the plan and also indicates the total
amount and source of funds available for capital improvement. programs each
year.
Users Guide to the Plan
Two pages of the pla,i are devoted to each project--one page has a
narrative section and a mat, and the second page has cost and scheduling
information, Again, the plan 4as three basic; functions.-to provide a
description of tie capital improvement and its priority; to indicate costs
and the method of 01nancing; to indicate how the project will be scheduled
and coordinated with other capital improvements.' .

The first page contains a project narrative section and a map, A brief
description of the project is nrnvlrin,l
uoiy unusual features are t
noted. There is also a brief explanation of the purpose and reevon for the
improvements. There are several types of projects, such as assessment
1
paving and drainage improvements, for which the location and the exact
nature of the improvement has not been determined, The City Co ncil will
determine the proJects•to,be built under these programs at a Isar time,
The priority of the capital improvements within the plan is indicated
by the year in which they are proposed for construction. In most !
priority is determined by service needs; however, in some Instances the,
method of financing or the need to coordinate different improvements will J
determine the year in which a 'project will be built,

The project schedule attempts to design a work program from project
design to compleilon. This schedule is important to the city department
that manages the project because it is their work plan. Of course, this
is also the means through which construction of projects administered by
different city departments is coordinated. It is quite difficult to design
an accurate schedule because of the number of factors involved and because
I
unanticipated problems can occur, for these reasons, a project schedule

Capital Improvement Planning Process
Early March City departments and other institutions and groups will be
contacted and requested to submit written recommendations
concerning all capital improvement priorities. The capital
improvement planning process will be publicized and the general
public will be invited to submit comments.
Early March the Finance Department will project the amount that could
be made available for capital expenditure in the general
and revenue funds, This will be an annual projection for
our five year planning period, A staff recommendation will "
be submitted to the Council and the Council will determine "
the funding ceiling to be used in capital improvement
planning,
Early April A public hearing of the Planning Commission will be held
to receive public input. The city staff will present the
written recommendations that were submitted and any group
or individual will have the opportunity to address the
Commission on capital improvement priorities,
Mid April Becaute of the special technical nature of utility planning,
the Utility Department will develop a comprehensive recom-
mendation for utility capital improvement priorities. The
utility staff will consider input from the public hearing.
and submit to the Public Utility Board a proposed five year
I copital improvement plan;
Early May A public hearing of the Public Utility Board will be held
to receive public input regarding the priority listing. The
Public Utility Board will analyze these public inputs and
recommend modifications to the plan.
April-May The Planning Commission will be responsible for developing
the recommendation on capital improvement priorities for
the general fund, and the Utility Board is responsible for
developing the recommendation on capital improvement'priori-
ties for the utility fund. Both these boards will meet
independently during this period to consider their recom-
mendation. The city staff will meet with both boards and
advise them of projects that should be coordinated. In
late May, the Flanning Commission and the Utility Board
trill meet together to finalize their joint recommen-
datton and to hold a public hearing, The recommendation
E will consist of;
1) A list of protects recommended for development each
year in the five year planning period.
2) Protect description, cost, and location
3) Construction priority for projects in the upcoming year
from the perspective•of service needs
