City Manager Richard Escalante gave an informative report on the happenings and status of projects in the departments of the City. C.2 PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF TRANS TEXAS INVESTMENT PROPERTIES, INC., TO AMEND THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT NUMBER 66 ZONING DISTRICT (PD-66) PERMITTED USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND APPROVE AN ASSOCIATED SITE PLAN FOR A RETAIL DEVELOPMENT TO BE LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF MIDWAY ROAD AND THE LBJ FREEWAY, WITHIN THE PD-66 ZONING DISTRICT, AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Mayor Blair presented the following information for consideration. The PD-66 zoning district includes approximately 10 acres of vacant land located at the northeast corner of LBJ frontage road and Midway Road. Principal land uses permitted in PD-66 are currently limited to office, hotel and secondary office-related uses. The proposed amendment would allow a variety of retail uses as principal uses, in addition to office and hotel uses, and modify the existing development standards to better accommodate a retail shopping center. The proposed site plan would allow approximately 138,600 gross square feet of retail floor space. Both the proposed zoning and the proposed site plan are consistent with the long range planning objectives for the City's east side. The Planning and Zoning Commission, by unanimous vote, recommends proposed Ordinance No. 2100 be adopted which would amend the PD-66 zoning district to add retail uses as principal uses, modify the development standards to better accommodate retail development, and approve an associated site plan for a retail shopping as submitted. Mayor Blair explained the applicant submitted a letter on December 17, 1993 asking for a postponement of their request. A motion by Councilman Phelps, a second by Councilman Moses, all voting "aye", granted the postponement request and continued this item until the January 10, 1994 City Council meeting. C.3 PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDER AMENDING THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT Vol. 65, Page 117 NUMBER 30 ZONING DISTRICT (PD-30) TO ALLOW NEW AND USED AUTO SALES WITHIN THE DISTRICT AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Mayor Blair presented the following information for consideration. The PD-30 zoning district is generally bounded by the City of Carrollton to the north, Stemmons Freeway to the west, Denton Drive to the east, and Valley View Lane to the south. At present, PD-30 allows a broad range of uses including light industrial, office, retail, and limited automotive related uses, but prohibits the sale of new or used automobiles. The City Council initially considered amending PD-30 to permit the sale of used automobiles at its May 17, 1993 meeting. The City Council deferred acting on the proposed amendment until it received the report and recommendations of a Task Force studying the Old Farmers Branch Area which includes PD-30. Council received the Task Force's report in October. At its October 18, 1993 meeting, City Council, returned this item to the Planning and Zoning Commission for reconsideration, directing the Commission to also address new automobile sales and establishment of minimum standards, including appropriate setback requirements, which would better ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses. The Planning and Zoning Commission, by a 5 to 2 vote, recommends proposed Ordinance No. 2090 be adopted which amends PD-30 to permit the sale of both new and used automobiles subject to approval of a Specific Use Permit. The proposed ordinance also establishes minimum standards requiring repair work to take place indoors, screening of outdoor storage areas, appropriate display area setbacks, paving of parking areas, and limiting used auto sales to accessory uses along Stemmons Freeway, Valwood Parkway, and Valley View Lane. Mayor Blair explained Councilman Moses left the Council Chambers because he feels he has a conflict of interest on this item. Councilman Moses signed the proper affidavit of conflict interest and filed the affidavit with the City Secretary. Mayor Blair opened the public hearing. No one came forward. A motion by Councilman Pyle, a second by Councilwoman Hardie, all voting "aye", closed the public hearing. Mayor Blair stated there was a possible problem with the wording in paragraph 2(b) which states " The used automobile sales lot may be located on a separate property provided the property is owned or leased by the same entity owning or operating the new automobile sales use with which it is affiliated and said lot is located within a reasonable proximity to the new automobile sales use, as determined by the Planning and Zoning Commission and approved by the City Council Mayor Blair read a possible revised Vol. 65, Page 118 version of the paragraph as follows: "Used automobile sales shall either be located on the same lot as the new automobile sales use or on an adjacent property, provided the adjacent property is owned or leased by the same entity owning or operating the new automobile sales use with which it is affiliated". There being no further discussion, a motion by Councilman Phelps, a second by Mayor Pro Tem Davis, all voting "aye", approved the following captioned Ordinance No. 2090 with amendment recommended by Mayor Blair: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH, TEXAS, AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH, TEXAS, AS HERETOFORE AMENDED; SO AS TO INDICATE NEW AND USED AUTOMOBILE SALES AS PERMITTED USES REQUIRING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IN THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT NUMBER 30 ZONING DISTRICT; ESTABLISHING SPECIAL STANDARDS FOR USED MOTOR VEHICLE SALES; PROVIDING FOR A PENALTY OF FINE NOT TO EXCEED THE SUM OF TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,000.00) FOR EACH OFFENSE; PROVIDING FOR A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Councilman Moses returned to his chair. DA CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 93-197 NOMINATING SPRINT COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, L.P. OF WESTWOOD, KANSAS AS AN ENTERPRISE PROJECT PURSUANT TO SECTION 10 OF THE TEXAS ENTERPRISE ZONE ACT AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Mayor Blair gave the following information for consideration. In July of 1993, the City of Farmers Branch received approval for an Enterprise Zone on the west side of the City. Qualified companies relocating or expanding in the City can receive substantial state and local benefits if they are retaining or creating new jobs within the state and are located in the zone. Qualified companies defined as "Enterprise Projects" are limited to no more than four businesses within an Enterprise Zone per year. Those companies must be nominated by the City Council. A company must certify that 25 percent of new jobs created will go to residents within the applicable enterprise zone or economically disadvantaged individuals. The approved company must certify the job creation commitment to the state and must file appropriate reports with the Texas Department of Commerce. The city's responsibility is to certify that the company is located wholly within the Enterprise Zone, nominate the company to the state, and file a zone report annually. Vol. 65, Page 119 The Enterprise Zone project nominated will enable the company to be considered for state sales tax rebate and a state franchise fee reduction. In addition, local incentives such as a reduction in development fee can occur. As the Enterprise Zone is automatically a Reinvestment Zone under state law, the first step in considering tax abatement was completed when the zone was approved in July of this year. Sprint Communications Company is leasing 130,000 square feet at 1601 LBJ Freeway located in the Farmers Branch Enterprise Zone approved by the Texas Department of Commerce in July of 1993. Six hundred twenty-nine full-time positions will be created initially in Farmers Branch and retained within the State of Texas. Staffing projections indicated that 157 additional full-time positions could be added over the next three years. Sprint Communications Companies has requested to be nominated by the City of Farmers Branch as an enterprise zone project. Sprint will consolidate their customer service centers into a National Customer Service Center in Farmers Branch, The location is considered the flagship customer service center by the Consumer Services Group Management of Sprint. If nominated by the City Council, the application package will be forwarded to the Texas Department of Commerce for final approval. The City Staff recommends adopting Resolution No. 93-197 nominating Sprint Communications Company, L.P. of Westwood, Kansas, as an Enterprise Project pursuant to section 10 of the Texas Enterprise Zone Act. Mr. Terry Frederick, Manager of Tax Division, and Ms. Wendy Kogen, Manager of Real Estate for Sprint, came forward and explained they would answer any questions City Council might have. There being no further discussion, a motion by Councilman Pyle, a second by Councilman Moses, all voting "aye", adopted Resolution No. 93-197 nominating Sprint Communications Company, L.P. of Westwood, Kansas, as an Enterprise Project pursuant to section 10 of the Texas Enterprise Zone Act. D.2 CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 93-201 AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 92-008 ADOPTING A COMPREHENSIVE STATEMENT ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES TO INCLUDE PERSONAL PROPERTY ABATEMENT AND ESTABLISHING PROCEDURAL GUIDELINES FOR CONSIDERATION OF REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT AND TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Mayor Blair presented the following information for consideration. The City of Farmers Vol. 65, Page 120 Branch adopted a Tax Abatement Policy in January of 1992 that established criteria and procedural guidelines for consideration of abatement. The policy was limited to real property abatement. In recent months, several cities in the Dallas metroplex have incorporated personal property tax abatement within their incentive package. As a result, the city is receiving numerous requests from prospects to determine whether its incentives are comparable to other cities. In order to maintain the City's competitive position, staff is recommending that the City amend its existing tax abatement policy to include personal property abatement on a very limited basis. In summary, the following criteria as proposed must be met: 1. Lease must be for a minimum of 100,000 square feet and create 300 jobs initially. 2. The lease must be for a minimum of 5 years. 3. The maximum a company can receive on new personal property value placed on site is 30% abatement annually. 4. Applicant cannot receive real property and personal property abatement on the same premise. The City has received a request from Sprint Communications Company for personal property tax abatement. Sprint is leasing 130,000 square feet of office space for a National Customer Service Center in Farmers Branch. Seven hundred eighty six jobs will be located in the facility within a three year period. Approval of the amendment to the existing Tax Abatement Policy will be the first step toward expanding our incentive package to major corporate locations such as Sprint. The City Staff recommends adopting Resolution No. 93-201 adopting a comprehensive statement on Economic Development Incentives to include personal property abatement and establishing procedural guidelines for consideration of real and personal property tax abatement and take the appropriate action. Mr. Terry Frederick and Ms. Wendy Kogen stated they would answer any questions the City Council may have on their request. Mayor Blair stated he opposes the tax abatement policies in general with no reflection on Sprint Communication. Mayor Blair explained taxes are how cities pay for repairs and if tax is abated there will come a point when taxes will have to be raised. There be no further discussion, a motion by Mayor Pro Tem Davis, a second by Vol. 65, Page 121 Councilman Pyle, all voting "aye", approved Resolution No. 93-201 adopting a comprehensive statement on Economic Development Incentives to include personal property abatement and establishing procedural guidelines for consideration of real and personal property tax abatement. Mr. Escalante stated further action is needed at the next City Council meeting and the staff is currently working on this request. D.3 CONSENT. DA CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 93-158 AWARDING A MODEL UPGRADE OF THE CITY'S MAIN COMPUTER FROM AN IBM AS/400 MODEL B45 TO A MODEL F45 TO THE IBM CORPORATION AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Mayor Blair presented the following information for consideration. The City of Farmers Branch currently utilizes an IBM AS/400 main frame for such diverse uses as accounting, utility billing, police, library, fire, fleet maintenance, payroll and personnel applications because of the ability of the AS/400 to store data and support many varied users. In December 1989, an IBM AS/400 Model B45 was purchased for $250,673.10, with the intention that it would serve as the City's main computer system for the next three to five years. The current computer system has served the City well. However, the disk storage has been almost fully utilized even though attempts have been made to minimize data stored on the disk. The current system is under powered for the number of users in the system. The combination of limited storage capability and power has resulted in a need for a model upgrade of the AS/400. It has also been determined that the proposed computer software included in the 1993-94 Fixed Asset Fund will require additional disk storage space and power. City Staff has worked with software providers, IBM, contacted and visited other sites to determine that an upgrade from the AS/400 Model B45 to an AS/400 Model F45 will meet the needs of the City for the next three to four years. The amount of the upgrade is $89,463.55. A Model F35 which cost $75,548.10 would meet the City's immediate needs but would not meet the City's future needs. IBM is the sole supplier of the upgrade. $70,000 is budgeted in the 1993-94 Fixed Asset Fund for an upgrade to the AS/400. Funds are available in the Fixed Asset Fund for the additional $19,463.55 that is needed. The Director of Data Processing recommends adopting Resolution No. 93-158 awarding a model upgrade of the City's AS/400 Model B45 to a Model F45 to the IBM Corporation in the amount of $89,463.55. Vol. 65, Page 122 Mayor Blair asked if the City staff had looked at purchasing a new computer versus upgrading the current computer. Mr. Kenneth Campbell, Director of Data Processing, stated a new system would cost approximately $150,000 and that did not include the software programs. There being no other discussion, a motion by Councilman Moses, a second by Mayor Pro Tern Davis, all voting "aye", adopted Resolution No. 93-158 awarding a model upgrade of the City's AS/400 Model B45 to a Model F45 to the IBM Corporation in the amount of $89,463.55. D.5 CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 93-196 AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A CONTRACT WITH HTE, INC. TO PURCHASE MUNICIPAL FINANCIAL SOFTWARE AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Mayor Blair presented the following information for consideration. The City of Farmers Branch has operated with its existing financial software since 1973. This software was produced in-house by data processing and was the City's first effort to automate accounting and billing operations. The City's auditors have commented in their management letter to Council on weaknesses in the current software. Operational weaknesses in the existing software create many inefficiencies for staff. Staff has determined that it would not be cost effective to patch existing programs or to hire additional programmers to create programs in-house. Funds were accumulated in the Fixed Asset Fund over the years to provide for eventual software replacement. The Request for Proposal was structured to follow the requirements of State law for high technology purchases. Under these requirements, the RFP specifies the relative importance of price and other evaluation factors. Municipal Financial Software proposals were opened on September 22, 1993. Eight vendors responded to Request for Proposal 93-058. Computer Associates, USTI, 7D Edwards, C.L. Mitchell & Company, and Noll Computer Systems submitted "no bid" proposals. Cameo (Grand Prairie), HTE (Orlando, Florida) and New World Systems (Troy, Michigan) submitted the remaining proposals. Vendors were evaluated using a point system to judge cost and product attributes. HTE obtained the highest point score of 89 out of 100. The HTE proposal provides for a fully integrated financial software system. This system will include: General Ledger, Project Accounting, Budget Preparation, Accounts Payable, Purchasing, Payroll, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Assets, Cash Receipting, and Fleet Maintenance modules at a cost of $186,785. A Fleet Maintenance system was added after proposals were opened as negotiations with vendors proved that replacement of the existing in-house Fleet Maintenance system would be more cost effective than Vol. 65, Page 123 integrating with the new general ledger software. The system will allow current manual and repetitive procedures to be automated and streamlined. Utility Billing will be budgeted for purchase in 1994-95. HTE will guarantee the Utility Billing price for 12 months. Each software module easily accommodates modifications and provides a path for future technologies such as imaging, touch screens and windowing. Funds in the amount of $180,000 are budgeted in the 1993-94 Fixed Asset Fund for this software. Funds are available in the Fixed Asset Fund for the additional $6,785. The City Staff recommends adopting Resolution No. 93-196 authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with HTE, Inc. to purchase Municipal Financial Software modules listed above (excluding utility billing) in an amount not to exceed $186,785 and to provide for a twelve month guaranteed purchase price of $47,905 for utility billing. There being no discussion, a motion by Councilwoman Hardie, a second by Councilman Phelps, all voting "aye", adopted Resolution No. 93-196 authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with HTE, Inc. to purchase Municipal Financial Software modules listed above (excluding utility billing) in an amount not to exceed $186,785 and to provide for a twelve month guaranteed purchase price of $47,905 for utility billing. D.6 CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 93-200 AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A LETTER OF AGREEMENT WITH POINT COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Mayor Blair presented the following information for consideration. The office of Economic Development and Tourism solicited proposals from advertising companies in October and received three responses from interested firms. Presentations were made by the three firms to a committee made up of Farmers Branch hotel and city staff, and the unanimous choice of the committee was Point Communications, Inc. of Farmers Branch. The fee for placing all ads and creative artwork is $35,000; the contract fee is funded from the hotel/motel tax fund. The City Staff recommends the approval of Resolution No. 93-200 authorizing execution of a Letter of Agreement with Point Communications, Inc. There being no discussion, a motion by Councilman Phelps, a second by Mayor Pro Tern Davis, all voting "aye", adopted Resolution No. 93-200 authorizing execution of a Letter of Agreement with Point Communications, Inc. D.7 CONSENT. Vol. 65, Page 124 D.8 CONSENT. D.9 CONSIDER COUNCIL TRAVEL REPORTS AND REQUESTS AND TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION. City Manager Richard Escalante reported of attending a computer seminar in Houston on December 10, 1993.
