SUBJECTi Tennis Facilities
1975 Parke 6 Recreation Bond Issue
The. Parke A Recreation Bond Program of 1975 out-
lines improvement in the Tennis facilities. The
Proposal outllnod the construction of neighbor- I
hood courts, 1-6 court complex and improvemant
of existing courts.
Total account proposed was $160,000.00. Total
of 14 courts in all,
The Bond issue did not make provisions for the
f Pro Shop, As matching funds became available
l\~ j for Parke improvement, we were hoping that funds
would be available to construct a Pro shop from
balances from the other projects as they were
completed, although, this was not the case.
The discussion to table the construction of the Pro
Shop was due to fund unavailability in the 1975 '
Bond Issue. The Parke a Recreation Board strongly
feels that a pro Shop is needed to complete the
Tennis facilities. The lighting of these courts
were intended to be constructed in conjunction with
the Tennis Building. The lights and poles are in
inventory.
Attached is the information that was given to the {
citizens at the 'time of the Bond Election. € w

April 17, 1979

Identity and Location: Z-1383
This is the petition of Mr. James Neblett seekiny the fallowing:
a) a change in zoning from Agricultural (A) to Light Industrial
(LI) classification on 7.9 acres located on the north side of
U. S. 380 East, beginning 1700' east of the intersection of
380 and Cooper Creek Road. This tract has 800' of Highway
380 frontage'and is 430' deep,
b) annexation and Light Industrial (LI) zoning classification on t
22.1 acres adjoining the property in N to the north. This
tract measures 800' in width and 1200 in depth.
Recommendation:
f
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of this petition. S
This proposal seeks Light Industrial (l1) zoning on a 30 acre tract
located on the north side of Highway 380 East, beginning approximately
! 1700' east of the Cooper Creek/Hwy. 380 intersection. The 380 frontage
is within the city limits and zoned Agricultural (A) while the remainder.
of the property is outside the city limits and must be annexed and
zoned to be developed. ;
r
The Light Industrial (L1) zoning classification requested for this
h entire tract would permit industrial land uses similar to those already
in existence in this vicinity, such as Green Giant Co. and the Safety
Kleen recycling plan. The Comprehensive Plan indicates this entire
E general area is appropriate for development as light industrial uses.
E Regarding the avat ability of public facilities, existing streets are
adequate to accomodate this proposed development. Municipal utilities
are accessible, but will need to be extended from Cooper Creek Road in
order to serve this site.
The Planning and Community Development Department recommended approval
of this petition. Of notices sent to property owners for the Planning
Commission hearing, one was dexin favor pressed atdthe ePlanningsCommissio!.

Mr. Chris Hartung -2- May 21, 1979
We will be pleased to meet with the City Council and/
or Audit Committee prior to the commencement of work and prior
to the issuance of the City's annual financial statements to
discuss the report and any related matters.
The objective of our engagement is the completion of
an examination of the financial statements referred to above,
and upon its completion and subject to its findings, the expres-
sion of an opinion on such financial statements. An examination
made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards is
subject to certain limitations and the inherent risk that errors r
or irregularities, if they exist, will not be detected. However,
if, during the course of our examination, we become aware of such
errors or irregularities, we will bring them to your attention,
Should you then wish us to expand our normal auditing procedures,
we will be pleased to work with you on developing a separate
engagement for that purposd.
z
This engagement will be undertaken at our regular rates
and it is our expectation that our fee for this%engagement will
be between $30,000 and $32,500. Our billings for the services s
set forth in this letter will be'rendered for payment on a monthly
basis so that you may readily relate our charges to the work
performed.
This engagement includes only those services described
in the second paragraph of this letter. Our fee expectation is
based upon our estimate of the normal costs of providing those
services. Occasionally, extraordinary, unforeseen events or
transactions occur which require the scope of our services to
A be significantly expanded. If such circumstances should arise,
it is our policy to inform appropriate officials at the earliest
possible time and to estimate the additional fees involved.
We are frequently called upon, to perform separate
examinations complying with guidelines set forth by various
funding agencies. Fees for these separate examinations will be
based upon arrangements made at the time.the services are requested.
If the terms of this letter are in accordance with
your understanding of our Agreement, please sign one copy of
this letter and return it for our files. We appreciate the
opportunity to work with you.

MI?SORANDUM
DATE OF MEETINOt MAY 29, 1979
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM (USE EXACT WORDING AS ITEM IS TO BE YIACED ON AGENDA):
Consider possible policy and ordinance changes for street paving and require-
ments for new subdivisions,
SUMMARY:
Currently, the Staff only has two options for paving adjacent streets in sub-
divisions. Either the."street must bbe paved or a maintenance bond must be
given. In certain "instances, it would'be of benefit to the city for payment
to be rk^vested rather than the construction of the strept,
FISCAL StMKARY:
In this type of arrangement, eepanding on inflation, the city may lose a
small amount of money by accepting a payment and paving the street at a
later date. Although there is no way to pinpoint actual cost in each in-
stance, the Staff believes the amount of repair that would be required if
the streets were paved instead of taking the payment would offset the amount
of money that would possibly be lost to inflation.
ACTION REQUIRED:
The city should initiate a policy of allowing-the subdivider or developer
to make a payment in lieu of paying in special circumstances when recom-
mended by the Staff.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternative would be to leave the ordinance and policy as -they are and
require either paving or a bond be put up.
STAFF REC09aNDATIONS:
The Staff would recommend that the Council approve taking a lump sum payment
in lieu of paving or bonding, only in cases where it is of benefit to the
city.

RE: Paving of Streets in New Subdivisions
Currently the City has a policy of either making developers pave adjacent
streets or put up bonds to insure the paving of adjacent streets in the N
future. Recently we have received inquiries from several developers re-
questing that they be able to make a payment to the City in lieu of putting
up a bond for paving the City may require in the future.
f
In certain instances, I believe this type of arrangeioent would be of benefit
j to the developer as well as the City. This type of arrangement would allow
the developer to use his current bid prices as an indication of this cost.
He would then have the option to make a one-time lump sum payment to the City
for paving ad3acent streets or allow him to bend the street and gamble that
f construction prices at the time he would be required to pave would be la~mr.
From the City's point of view, it would allow us to collect the money and in-
vest it and pave this portion of streets at a time when other adjoining por-
on k.
tions are pavedItwould reduce the amount of maintenance we would have to
E dead d streets which would be of no use to the public. It would in-
sure that these facilities would be built only when logical connections could
be made and they would thus have a longer us ft life.
1 have included a copy of a new subdivision that has a section of street on
which we would recommend that payment be taken in lieu of paving. This sea
tion under question is outlined in black. If this sectton is paved at this
time, it will serve no purpose since it is a dead end street and will not
have any driveways entering it, Through non-use the asphalt will deteriorate
rapidly and in several years when other sections of the street are paved, this
section in all likelyhood, will need to be repaired or repaved. The developer
has indicated a preference for making a one time payment and for this particular
portion of street, the Staff agrees, since ftwill not be used for any typpe of
access Onlyy in cases such as this would the Staff recommend payment in,lieu
of paving. Please advise the Cou,icil of this situation and ask them for some
direction for the Staff.

MEMORANDUM
TO: G. Chris Hartung
FROM: Rick Svehla
DATE: May 24, 1979
j RE: Status Report on Welch Sheet Patching
As you know, the North Texas State University currently has a contract to
build some new water and sewer improvements along Welch Street. These im-
provements are being funded primarily by the University with some Joint
financing by the Utility Department. The Engineering Department is inspect-
ing all the improvements as they are being constructed because once the im-
provements are complete and accepted, the City will become the owner of
the improvements'and will maintain them.
Today the University indicated that tho basic water and sewer work has been
completed, The Staff has completed testing and inspection on the lines and
concur with this assessment of work progress. There is still a limited a-
mount of work to be done on Welch between Hickory and Multerry. This worth
consists of connecting the individual services from the buildings to the
new main lines; Currently, the Utility Department and the University are
negotiating a change order concerning this work since our specifications re-
quire some extra work to be done on these tie-ins. The University has indi-
cated that they are finishing this work order and will submit it by the end
of the week. They have indicated that as soon as these change orders are
approved, they will begin this work so that paving operations can begin im-
mediately thereafter.
The Staff has had limited success in demanding that Welch Street be put in
driveable condition by refusing to let the contractor continue further work
until such repairs were made. In this type of work, the repair is done by
backfilling trenches with new backfill material to provide a smooth riding
surface. However, this repair procedure does not lest very long. The Staff
believes that patching Welch under the University's contract is the fastest
way to attain a permanent state of good rideability, If the change orders
can be approved within the next week, we estimate that the work could be
completed within five working days and thus patching operations begin the
second week in June, If the City were to pursue the idea of repaving Welch
with the University's participation, we believe the earliest that bids could be
DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Memo to G. Chris Hartung

Approved by the Council would be the 266 of June. The contractor could
conceivably take as long as a week to sign the contracts and another week
to move into the ,fob, which would mean that improvements would not begin
until the middle of July, Therefore, the Staff believes that the best way
to restore Welch would be to continue to work with the University and ex-
pedite patching operations as soon as possible.
