has an opportunity to obtain portable buildings from Otis
Engineering Co. for use as office space. Otis Engineering has
five temporary buildings that are planned for disposal during
October or November of this year. One or more of the buildings
could be placed at City Hall adjacent to the existing 1800 sq.
ft. temporary building. Otis Engineering temporary buildings
range in size from 720 sq. ft. in area to 3,275 sq. ft. in area.
Purchase of the larger building (3,275 sq. ft.) would allow the
consolidation of office areas for the Public Works Department and
the consolidation of the Marketing Department. The cost to move
one large temporary building and recondition both buildings will
be $40,000.00. The City Staff recommends that they be directed
to pursue obtaining one or more of the temporary buildings.
There followed discussion concerning the City's strict policy on
allowing people in the Farmers Branch community to build tem-
porary buildings that do not meet the code requirements and the
fact that this building will not meet the fire code requirements.
Vol. 40, Page 44.
It was discussed that even though the building would be given
without charge to the City, the City would have to spend
$40,000.00 to recondition these buildings and the $40,000.00
would have to come from the 1983-84 budget which had not been
approved.
It was also discussed that the City does have a need for more
office space, but that there are other alternatives such as
leasing of office space.
Councilman Glancy made a motion to continue the item until the
August 15, 1983 meeting and instruct the City Staff to furnish
additional alternatives for space. Councilman Weidinger seconded
the motion.
Councilwoman Dingman asked to amend the motion to continue the
item until the first meeting in September. Councilmembers Glancy
and Weidinger accepted the amendment with all members voting
"aye". The motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Blair suggested that the City Staff inform Otis
Engineering that there would be further study of the possible use
of the temporary buildings and alternatives and learn from Otis
the immediacy of a decision from the City Council.
Councilman Johnson made a motion that the City Staff appear
before the Building Code Board of Appeals to ask for a variance
for a temporary building to be placed behind City Hall.
Councilman Glancy seconded the motion with Councilmembers
Johnson, Glancy and Weidinger voting "aye" and Councilmembers
Dingman and Blair voting "nay". The motion carried by a 3 to 2
vote.
AGENDA ITEM NO. D.2-CONSIDER TIME LIMIT EXPIRATION OF VARIANCE
GRANTED BY THE BUILDING CODE BOARD OF APPEALS AND TAKE
APPROPRIATE ACTION.

mation from an Administrative memo. On November 14, 1978, the

the Building Code to allow a 30' x 60' wooden temporary building
to be placed on the property behind City Hall. The building was
to be used for offices for City Hall personnel. The Board

AGENDA ITEM NO. D.3-CONSIDER ORDINANCE NO. 1449 REGULATING THE
SPEED OF LOCOMOTIVES OR TRAINS IN THE CHICAGO, ROCK ISLAND AND
PACIFIC RIGHT-OF-WAY AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
Mayor Dodd opened the discussion by giving the following infor-
mation from an Administrative memo. The City has received
numerous complaints about hazardous traffic conditions on the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad (CRI&P). The City
Staff has investigated this problem and has found that several
accidents have occurred on this track due to speed and a short
sight distance. The City Staff recommends that the speed be
reduced on the CRI&P Railroad track by adopting Ordinance No.
1449.
Mayor Dodd recognized Mr. Michael Roper, attorney for the MKT
Railroad. Mr. Roper questioned whether there was any intention
to lower the speed at other railroad locations and was told not

Holliday stated that she was in favor of lowering the speed limit
and asked that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 1449•
Mayor Dodd recognized Mr. Pat Keim, terminal superintendent with
Burlington Northern Railroad. Mr. Keim stated that the
Burlington Northern Railroad was the operating entity over the
bankrupt CRI&P line and was in opposition to the ordinance for
the following reasons:
1. 5 mph speed limit is excessively low when the City's
present maximum speed limit is 40 mph and the Federally
regulated speed limit is 20 mph.
2. Speed regulations tend to increase amount of accidents
due to motorists trying to out-run the train.
[1
Vol. 40, Page 46.
3. There would be an increase of irate motorists over the
blocked intersections. The train takes 3 minutes at the
present 20 mph speed limit to clear the intersection.
If the speed limit is reduced to 5 mph, the train will
take 12 to 15 minutes to clear the intersection.
There was discussion concerning the dangerous intersection due to
visibility problems from the evening sun and the substantial
grade at the tracks.
Mr. Keim stated that there were problems with a 4 lane divided
crossing as far as signalling and putting up gates. He suggested
that the Burlington Northern Railroad and the City Staff meet to
find a solution to problems at this intersection. He also
suggested that if the City wanted to install gates that the City
apply to a State program whereby the State and the railroad work
together to finance and install the gates.
After lengthy discussion, Councilman Blair made the following
motion:
1. adopt Ordinance No. 1449 with
5 mph speed limit be changed
Cooks Creek to the north city
2. the City Staff and Burlington
representatives work together
devices, and also immediately

1983 for the construction of a jogging trail at Rawhide Park.
Ten packets were mailed out to ten vendors and only one was
returned by Ed Bill Construction in the amount of $39,338.81.
$20,000.00 was approved for this project in the 82-83 budget.
Attempts were made to contact the other vendors. One stated he
did not have time to complete the bid; one was sent to the wrong

Staff recommends that the project be re-advertised.
