The requested amount for consideration is $20,000.

conditioner units that are located in the current
departmental apartment buildings, which will be
destroyed for the new City Hall, to the Animal
Control Center.
7. Dr. Patsy Fulton, President of Brookhaven Community

in more detail.
There being no one else wishing to speak, a motion by Mayor Pro
Tem Binford, a second by Councilmember Davis, all voting "aye",
closed the public hearing.
C.3 CONSIDER REQUEST BY TRAMMELL CROW COMPANY TO WAIVE CERTAIN
WATER AND SEWER BILLS AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
Councilmember Davis excused herself from the Council Chambers
due to a conflict of interest. The appropriate document was
filed with the City Secretary.
Mayor Blair recognized Carol Tarwater, Trammell Crow Company
property manager, and Frank Polo of Network Distribution, the
tenant in the property at 4547 Langland. Mr. Polo has
experienced an ongoing water leak problem since he moved in on
January 16, 1989. This leak has resulted in several high water
and sewer bills. Ms. Tarwater requested the Council to
consider waiving the water and sewer charges due to a lack of
communication as to who was responsible for the water leak.
Several City staff members explained the procedures followed
and addressed the fact that notification of the water leak was
handled in the proper manner and according to city procedures.
Based on the fact that the water leak was not the
responsibility of the City, the City Staff recommends that
Council not waive the water and sewer charges.
After some discussion, Mayor Pro Tem Binford made a motion to
deny the request to waive water and sewer charges received by
Network Distribution based on the fact a water leak in the line
from the meter onto private property is not the responsibility
of the City. A second by Councilman Phelps, all voting "aye",
and the motion passed unanimously.
Councilmember Davis returned to the Council Chambers.
C.4 CONSIDER REQUEST OF CAMP FIRE CLUB TO ALLOW ONE MONTH OF
Vol. 56, page 53
LIBRARY FINES TO BE USED FOR FOOD FOR THE HUNGER AND TAKE THE
APPROPRIATE ACTION.
Mayor Blair requested this item be placed on the agenda and
presented the following information. The Super Stars, Camp
Fire Club second graders, have submitted a request to the Mayor
to either: (1) collect canned goods in exchange for Library
fines for a month, or, (2) that the funds of Library fines for
a month be used to buy food for the hungry.
Mayor Blair recognized Mrs. Christi Seiley, 14504 Hague, and
Camp Fire Club member Chris Seiley. Mayor Blair commended the
Super Stars for their concern and efforts to help the hungry.
He also explained while using Library fines for food would be
difficult to administer, the Council and staff would like to
assist in helping with this need.
Councilmember Davis made a motion to establish a collection
point in the Library using the Super Stars' poster to collect
canned goods and distribute the food to the needy through the
Community Cupboard at the Christ United Methodist Church(the
facility of their choice) and to publicize through the citizen
newsletter. A second by Mayor Pro Tem Binford, all voting
"aye", and the motion passed unanimously.

Heritage Cablevision. Ms. Noe stated that she hoped the
package presented to Farmers Branch would be satisfactory. The
rest of the new equipment would be delivered by September 1.
Councilman Phelps commented on attending the producer's
meeting. He could see noticeable changes in the studio and the
new portable cameras were on display. He felt this was a good
start.
Mayor Blair reviewed information covered in the Study Session.
A new microwave link between Farmers Branch transmission point
to downtown Dallas would allow Heritage to monitor the quality
of their channels to alleviate the poor quality reception
recently seen on Channel 7 and 10. Quality of the service
representatives is also to be improved. Heritage has requested
to be given ample time to rectify the problems. Mayor Blair
stated in 90 days the situation would be reviewed and hoped
that it would have improved substantially.
Mayor Blair recognized Dennis Jones, Manager of Heritage
Cablevision. Mr. Jones said their new phone service would go
Vol. 56, page 54
into effect on July 14 and anticipated improved customer phone
relations. Improved converters will be made available to all
subscribers to allow more channels to be received. The
converters can be picked up by the subscriber or a service
representative can be requested to install the converter. The
converters will also be changed out on any service calls
requested or new hook-ups. Four new channels are being added;
VHl (pending contractual problems are resolved), Telemondo,
Trinity, and Home Shopping Network II. The anticipated date
for the new channels is September 1. The date is pending the
converter change-out and response of subscribers. Citizens
will be notified around July 10 by letter of the new channel
line-up and information about the converters. The converters
are anticipated to be available for installation on July 15.
Several councilmembers reiterated that Heritage Cablevision's
progress would be carefully followed and reviewed in 90 days.
C.6 CONSIDER RESOLUTION NO. 89-087 APPROVING AN INTERLOCAL
AGREEMENT WITH THE VALWOOD IMPROVEMENT AUTHORITY RELATIVE TO
THE RECONSTRUCTION OF VALLEY VIEW LANE AND TAKE APPROPRIATE
ACTION.
Mayor Blair presented the following information for
consideration. The reconstruction of Valley View Lane from
Nicholson Road to the Trinity River is a 1985 Dallas County
Bond Project. Through interlocal governmental agreement, the
City committed to participation in the funding of the project.
The present cost estimates are projecting the reconstruction to
exceed the $2.36 million funding from the County and $200,000
budgeted from the City. The total cost estimate is presently
$2.76 million.
The Valwood Improvement Authority (VIA) will contribute up to
an additional $200,000 to the project because of the benefits
derived from the storm drainage system that is a part of the
project. This interlocal governmental agreement will provide
for the additional funding from Valwood Improvement Authority.
The City Engineer recommends adoption of Resolution No. 89-087
approving an Interlocal Governmental Agreement with the Valwood
Improvement Authority relative to the reconstruction of Valley
View Lane.

Vol. 56, page 55
This item has been placed on the agenda at the request of
Councilmember Davis. Mayor Blair recognized Councilmember
Davis. Councilmember Davis updated the citizens on the Teen
Fair sponsored by Crime Watch. All involved agreed it was a
success and an effort well done. Crime Watch is also looking
at and discussing organizing a Youth Crime Watch to involve
young people in our neighborhoods and as volunteers.
C.8 DISCUSS AND REVIEW TEXAS WATER COMMISSION AND RELATED
MATTERS.
Mayor Blair recognized Tom Scales, Director of Community
Services. Mr. Scales gave a detailed report on the status of
the Historical Park and the Library following recent
discussions with the Texas Water Commission.
The City groundwater monitoring well at the Historical Park was
found to contain small amounts of ethylbenzene. The Texas
Water Commission did not feel that the level reported by the
City is a hazard. The City has requested the Texas Water
commission to do additional groundwater testing on the
Historical Park property and to require remediation action if
warranted.
A hydraulic fluid discharge into Rawhide Creek at the Library
was reported to Texas Water Commission, even though reporting
was not legally required. The water samples taken from the
area indicate the levels of oil are far below the allowable
standards. The Texas Water Commission has made some
recommendations to avoid the possibility of future problems and
the City will be following through on these.
After some discussion with Councilmembers, it was discerned the
City is doing all possible to monitor the situation.
