ROAD AND MCEWEN DRIVE AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
Mayor Binford explained that t is item was placed on the agenda
at the request of Mr. Craig Knight of Centre Development Company,
Inc.
Mr. Knight addressed the Council explaining that several months
ago Centre reached an agreement to fund the dollars necessary
for design and construction of a signal light at Midway Road
and McEwen. This agreement was necessitated by the fact that
the City Council had eliminated this light due to budget constraints
for this fiscal year. Centre agreed to fund the dollars and the
City was to refund Centre as soon as funds were available but
no longer than two years from the date of the contract. Mr. Knight
further explained that through recent Council meetings it has
come to his attention that the City now has several thousand
dollars available and therefore he requests that the city assume
the responsibility for this signal and proceed with the design
and installation of the system at this time.
Discussion by the members of the City Council and Mr. Knight
related to the City having approximately $868,000 unallocated
water and general funds and of items such as replacing the
,Josey Lane bridge that will be taken out of these funds.
The conditions in the financing agreement between Centre and
the City for the installation of this light was discussed.
The agreement provides that Centre is to prepare the plans
and specifications, fund the installation, and the City would
reimburse Centre within two years from the date of the contract.
After more discussion of the City being responsible for the
installation of the light, Councilman Dodd made a motion that
authorized the City to proceed with the installation of this
light for the intersection of Midway and McEwen upon completion
of Centre's plans and specifications.
Councilman Haggerty seconded the motion.
Discussion followed of the intent of the motion being that Centre
would do the engineering and the city provide the cost of the light.
r
Vol. 36, Page 115.
Councilman Dodd withdrew the motion and Councilman Haggerty
withdrew the second.
After discussion of paying for this expenditure out of next
year's budget, Councilman Dodd made a motion to go ahead and
proceed in putting a light at the intersection of Midway and
McEwen at full cost to the city out of this year's budget and
appropriate the funds out of the unappropriate funds.
Councilman Johnson seconded and amended the motion to instruct
the staff to redraw the contract agreement to provide that
Centre go forward with the financing of the light and the
city to reimburse the expenditure with payment no later than
December 31, 1982 or at the time of completion.
Councilman Dodd accepted the amendment.
The motion carried with all voting "aye".

RATE INCREASE AND CONSIDER SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING DATE AND
TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
Mayor Binford opened the discussion by giving the following infor-
mation from an administrative memo. On February 12, 1982, Texas
Power and Light Company filed an application for a system wide
rate increase of $188.0 million per annum. This represents an
average increase of approximately 15% for all classes of customers.
The rate request, which was filed with the Public Utility Commission
and each city with jurisdiction over TP&L, will become effective
March 19, 1982, unless suspended by the City Council. Passage of
the resolution being presented by the staff for consideration will
suspend the rates for 120 days. In order to comply with the State
law it will be necessary for the City Council to hold a public
hearing on this rate request. Texas Municipal League cities
served by TP&L will again intervene before the Public Utilities
Commission in this rate hearing. As in the past the rates
authorized by the Public Utilities Commission will become
effective; however, it is vitally important as many cities
as possible be represented by the Texas Municipal League group.
The Staff recommends to join with other cities in the presentation
before the Public Utilities Commission. There will be no cost
to the city regarding this participation with the TML group. The
cost intervention is born by TP&L.
A motion by Councilman Dodd, a second by Councilman Haggerty, all
voting "aye", adopted Resolution No. 82-002 that suspends the
rates of TP&L for 120 days, and authorized to join with other
Texas Municipal League cities in the Public Utilities Commission
presentation.

information from an administrative memo. The City Council

and guidelines on grants to outside organizations. The effort
was made to make the requesting and reporting process as near
the city financial reporting process as possible. It is felt
that the form being presented for consideration will require
a minimum of effort by the organizations. It is very important
the city receives all financial reports of the organization as
well as the two requested reports in order to make comparisons.
A motion by Councilman Haggerty, a second by Councilman Weidinger,
all voting "aye", approved the requesting and reporting forms
and the "Policy Statement" for City grants to outside organiza-
tions, as submitted by the staff.

mation from an administrative memo. Turner, Collie and Braden,
Inc., the consulting engineers designing the Marsh Lane Project,
has requested the City of Farmers Branch to approve the engineering
plans for this project. They have requested that they be authorized
to advertise for bids for this project. The Engineering Division
has reviewed the plans and specifications and recommends that they
be approved. If Turner, Collie and Braden, Inc. is authorized to
advertise for bids for this project, the Engineering Division
recommends that at least twenty-one (21) days be allowed for the
preparation of the bids.
Vol. 36, Page 117.
Upon some discussion, Councilman Johnson made a motion to defer the
authorization of advertising for bids for improvements to Marsh
Lane until March 22, 1982 after the public hearing.
Councilman Dodd seconded the motion.
There followed discussion of having the public hearing before
the advertisement for bids and of whether the public hearing
would have any bearing on approving the plans and specifications.
There was discussion of the plans for Marsh Lane being for
a 5-lane roadway with two lanes in Farmers Branch and three
lanes in Addison.and the original plan of the 4-lane country
road concept.
Councilman Weidinger made a substitute motion to approve the
plans and specifications and authorized Turner, Collie and
Braden to advertise for bids and that the bids come back
to the Council on April 19, 1982.
Councilwoman Dingman seconded the motion.
Mrs. Mae Lewin, 3639 Pine Valley Drive, addressed the Council
and asked each member of their stand on Marsh Lane.
Councilman Dodd responded that he was for widening Marsh to the
original concept of the 4-lane country road, combined with
aesthetics and need to go forward with progress.
Councilman Johnson responded that he was for improving safety
factors of Marsh Lane but not the 5-lane concept. He believes
this might could be done with a wide 3-lane roadway with left
turn lane for adequate stacking. Councilman Johnson opposed
the impact of sound and traffic he believes will be damaging
to those residents in the areajif the road is completed with
proposed plans.
Councilman Johnson discussed with Mrs. Lewin that lowering
the roadway was never introduced as a safety feature; it
was a noise abatement feature only.
Councilman Weidinger responded of being in favor of widening
Marsh Lane from the very beginning. Councilman Weidinger
supported the 5-lane roadway concept with 2-lanes being
provided by the City of Farmers Branch and 3-lanes by the
City of Addison.
Councilwoman Dingman responded of being in favor of widening
Marsh Lane. Councilwoman Dingman reviewed past Council action
from minutes of meetings where Marsh Lane had been considered.
Councilwoman Dingman supported the 5-lane roadway plans and
commented that she feels the road is unsafe and should be
widened.
Councilman Haggerty responded of being in favor of widening
Marsh Lane. Councilman Haggerty reviewed the history of
coming to the 5-lane concept. He stated he was for going
ahead with the plans for improvements at this time.
Vol. 36, Page 118.
Discussions held between members of the City Council and Mrs.
Lewin related to the expense of lowering the roadway; of noise
abatement such as a wall, berms and other landscaping features;
of the cost of relocating utilities in lowering the roadway;
of traffic projected for use of Marsh Lane and adjacent streets;
and of signalization planned for Pebble Beach and Spring Valley
on Marsh.
Mr. Dale Nixon, 13734 Cherry Hills, asked to see the plans.
Mr. Nixon and Mrs. Lewin reviewed the plans.
Mr. Bill Lawson, 2666 Mt. View, asked why it has taken five years
to build this road.
Mayor Binford called for the vote of Councilman Weidinger's
substitute motion to approve the plans and specifications and
authorizing Turner, Collie and Braden to advertise for bids
and that the bids come back to the Council on April 19, 1982.

AGENDA ITEM NO. D.4-CONSIDER APPLICATION BEFORE THE TEXAS AIR
CONTROL BOARD AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
Mayor Binfor opened the discussion by giving the following infor-
mation from an administrative memo. The City has received a
'request for comments''from the Texas Air Control Board regarding
an amendment to Permit No. C-4183A held by Texas Color, Inc. at
4800 Spring Valley Road. Texas Color, Inc. is a Gravure Printing
facility and has been operating under permit issued by the Texas
Air Control Board for a number of years. The last installation of
a large printing press at Texas Color, Inc. was in 1978. At that
time the Air Control Permit contained estimates of emissions.
According to Mr. Bill Chapin, of the Texas Air Control Board
Region V, in 1979 a contractor was hired to actually measure
the emissions. The contractor was paid and supervised during
this monitoring by EPA. Mr. Chapin has stated to the City Staff
that Texas Color, Inc. is not adding equipment and increasing
emissions. The facility simply wants to amend the permit so
that the permit will reflect actual emissions which have taken
place since 1978. He also stated to the Staff that Texas
Color, Inc. has a very efficient collection system and succeeds
in collecting 9 times as much vapor as is emitted into the
atmosphere. A collection rate of 90% is for above the com-
plusary 75% collection rate mentioned in the regulation.
Mr. Art Kellogg, of the Texas Air Control Board in Austin, stated
to the City Staff in a phone conversation, that the Texas Air
Control Board has to decide whether or not public notification
is required for amending this permit. Mr. Kellogg will advise
the City when this decision is made.
Vol. 36, Page 119.
After some discussion, a motion by Councilman Haggerty, a second
by Councilman Johnson, all voting "aye", authorized the Staff to comment
to the Texas Air Control Board that the City has no objection
to the request of Texas Color, Inc. for an amendment to their
Permit C-4183A, as long as the request complies with the law.

mation from an administrative memo. Ordinance No. 1374 grants a

dedicated public street right-of-way to National Hand Tool Holding
Corporation. All ordinances granting or amending franchises for
utilities must be read at two (2) separate regular meetings of

AGENDA ITEM NO. D.6-CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE ENGINEERING DESIGN
FOR REPLACEMENT OF BRIDGES ON JOSEY LANE AT FARMERS BRANCH CREEK
AND APPROPRIATE NECESSARY FUNDS.
Mayor Bin ford opened the discussion by giving the following
information from an administrative memo. The north-bound
bridge on Josey Lane at Farmers Branch Creek has suffered
extensive damage due to the settlement of one of the supporting
bents. The Engineering Division had been monitoring this
situation for some time and was in the process of determining
alternative solutions to the settlement problem, when extensive
settlement occurred and made the bridge unsafe for traffic.
The Engineering Division has re-evaluated the condition of
both the north and south bound bridges and recommends that both
bridges be replaced. Due to the severe settlement problems,
it is necessary that an underground soil investigation be made.
It is recommended that the design of the replacement bridges
be accomplished by the Engineering Division. If unusual
foundation conditions are encountered, it may be necessary to
obtain the assistance of a foundation consultant. The esti-
mated cost of the underground soil investigation is approx-
imately $15,000.00.
