On October 15th, 1994 at approximately 12:45 p.m. a fire started at 2573 Springvale in Farmers Branch, the home of Helen Kirk and her mother Ruth Kirk - age 87. Helen, in the living room at the time, was able to escape out the front door of the house. Ruth Kirk was trapped in a back bedroom. Across the street, Daren Queen and Mike Burns saw the smoke. They ran to the house and Helen told them Ruth was still inside. Realizing the fire was too intense to enter through the front door, Daren and Mike went to the rear of the house, smashed the bedroom window, leaned into the smoke filled room, directed Mrs. Kirk to the window, and without regard for the danger involved, lifted Ruth Kirk to safety. Ruth and Helen were taken to the hospital for minor smoke inhalation, but both have fully recovered. Fire Chief Kyle King believes the quick action by Daren and Mike saved Ruth Kirk's life.

The request is for the 1995 Folklore Festival in the amount of $40,000.00, and for the 1995 Farmers Branch Triathlon in the amount of $8,800.00.

The insurance coverage provided by the Chamber for the Triathlon has Volume 67, Page 98 been increased from $1,000,000.00 to $5,000,000.00. The $1,300.00 increase represents the cost of the increased insurance coverage. $46,300.00 is included in the 1994-95 budget. If approved additional funds will need to be included in the mid- year budget. The City Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract with the Farmers Branch Chamber of Commerce to provide funding in the amount of $48,800.00 for the 1995 Folklore Festival and the 1995 Farmers Branch Triathlon. Councilwoman Davis asked if the funds come out of the General Fund or the Hotel/Motel tax? City Manager Richard Escalante stated the funding would come from the general fund. Mr. Escalante stated the triathlon could come out of the hotel/motel tax because it does bring in lots of people to the City of Farmers Branch. Mr. Escalante stated there is sufficient funds available if the City Council deems it appropriate. Mr. Escalante stated the Folklore Festival is a program that has mainly evolved for residents of the area. Councilwoman Davis stated that the craft people participating in the Folklore Festival did come from all around and some stay in Farmers Branch hotels.

Mr. Escalante stated if the Folklore Festival became a regional event, it would be possible to take the funds from the hotel/motel tax, however it has not reached that level.

Mayor Pro Tem Pyle presented the following information for consideration. The City of Farmers Branch participates in the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS). In January of each year, the City of Farmers Branch has the option to adopt an ordinance providing for continuation of the program to update service credits for active employees and increase annuities for retired employees or their beneficiaries. The City of Farmers Branch has exercised this update option for more than ten years. The City's current rate of contribution, which is based on the number of employees, age of employees, number of retirees, and other factors, is 10.88% of qualified payroll. If Council adopts Ordinance No. 2144, which updates service credits for active employees and increases annuities to retirees or their beneficiaries, the City's rate of contribution effective January 1, 1995 will be 11.88%. Funds are available in the 1994-95 budget for TMRS contributions totaling $1,514,261. The City Council met a with representative of TMRS to discuss the prospective increase in cost during the budget review process.

Mayor Pro Tern Pyle presented the following information for consideration. In 1987 the City Council authorized staff to establish a self insured workers compensation program. Since 1987 the City has been a member of the Texas Political Subdivision Workers Compensation Joint Insurance Fund (TPS). The TPS provides administrative services and an excess workers compensation and employer's liability policy. The City extends coverage for workers compensation to employees, elected officials and volunteer workers. The self insured program requires the City to pay the first $350,000 of medical and compensation expenses for employees injured while on the job in a single occurrence. Expenses over $350,000 are covered by the excess workers compensation policy to a limit of $10,000,000. The City has experienced a significant reduction in workers compensation expenses due to a combination of changes in the state workers compensation law, the City's active loss control program and the decision to self insure rather than purchase a guaranteed cost workers compensation policy. The cost to provide administrative services for the City's self insured program is estimated at $42,560 plus $35,000 for the excess workers compensation and employer's liability policy for an estimated total cost of $77,560 for the 1994-95 budget year. A total of $300,000 is budgeted in the Volume 67, Page 102 1994-95 budget for administrative services, claims and reserves. The Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 94-138 authorizing the City Manager to execute an Interlocal Agreement with the Texas Political Subdivisions Workers Compensation Joint Insurance Fund for provision of workers compensation administrative services. Councilman Phelps stated if he understood this correctly, this has saved the City of Farmers Branch approximately $3.1 million dollars. City Manager Richard Escalante stated based on an undiscounted guaranteed cost program this was correct. There being no further discussion, a motion by Councilwoman Davis, a second by Councilman Moses, all voting "aye", adopted Resolution No. 94-138 authorizing the City Manager to execute an Interlocal Agreement with the Texas Political Subdivisions Workers Compensation Joint Insurance Fund for provision of workers compensation administrative services.
