Gloria Patterson of the Civic League Foundation, Inc. is in attendance tonight to

supporter of the Historical Park. Through the years, the Historical Park has been
the recipient of grants and donations for several purposes including the very first

League were present to unveil the book, A Walk Back in Time. At the August 16,

Volume 95, page 99

to use plastic garbage bags and outsourcing of garbage pick up. Mr. Wells also
spoke against the proposed 13.5% water and sewer rate increase, and stated the
crosswalk at Rawhide and Josey should be repainted. Mayor Phelps stated there
was no truth to the rumor, and suggested Mr. Wells contact Director of Public
Works Mark Pavageaux after the meeting.
City Manager Linda Groomer added that the reason the crosswalk had not been
repainted was not due to budget constraints, but rather due to safety concerns.
She stated staff would be preparing a memo to Council regarding the issue.
C.2 PUBLIC HEARING: 2005-06 OPERATING AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM BUDGET.
Mayor Phelps presented the following information. A public hearing is being
held to consider the 2005-06 operating and capital improvement program budget.
The proposed budget was filed with the City Secretary on July 29, 2005 and
copies of the proposed budget were made available for public inspection at the
Farmers Branch Manske Library and on the City' s website. A public work
session of the City Council was held on August 15, 2005 to discuss the budget;

1 cent less than the 2006 effective tax rate, or the rate necessary to
generate the same amount of revenue as in 2005.
• Overall property values increased by 4.6% after three years of decline
• Eight full-time vacant positions have been eliminated; over four years, 37
unfilled full-time positions now have been eliminated, including these
eight.

to the City.

in the water and sewer fund and get back with the Council at the next meeting as
to whether or not it could be covered in some other manner and have a 12 percent
increase as opposed to a 13.5 percent increase. The motion failed by a two to
three vote, with Councilmembers Robinson and O'Hare voting "aye", and
Councilmembers Moses, Smith, and Bird voting "no."
C.3 PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDER REQUEST OF METROPOLITAN
DEVELOPMENT, LLC FOR REPLAT APPROVAL OF PRAIRIE CROSSING
AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.

Lot 3, Block A of Exxonmobil Addition and consists of a 17.78-acre tract of
vacant property generally bounded by Alpha Road, Midway Road, and Sigma

No development is presently proposed for Lot 1, which is along Midway Road,
south of Sigma Road. Lot 2, at the northwest corner of Alpha Road and Midway
Road, is planned for retail development. Lot 3, at the northeast corner of Alpha

D.1 CONSENT.
D.2 CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 2005-107 APPROVING
AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO AN ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH CARTER AND BURGESS, INC. RELATIVE TO THE LAKE AND
SUMP IMPROVEMENTS NORTH OF IH-635 AND TAKE APPROPRIATE
ACTION.
Mayor Phelps presented the following information. The construction of sump and
lake improvements north of I-635 within Tax Increment Financing Reinvestment
Zone No. 1 is budgeted in the amount of $3,000,000. Development Agreement
No. 4 for this project was approved by the City Council on September 22, 2003.
The Agreement provides the conditions for which American Realty Trust, Inc.
and Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc., the collective developer of the
property adjacent to the sumps and lake, will advance funds and receive
reimbursement from TIF revenues for the design and construction of the
improvements.
On October 13, 2003, City Council approved an engineering services agreement
with Carter and Burgess, Inc. in the amount of $118,240 to perform hydrologic
and hydraulic analysis and to develop alternative configurations for the sump and
lake improvements. The services included surveying, preliminary street design,
and platting of the street rights-of-way.
On April 19, 2004, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to include
landscape architectural services in the amount of $25,150 to develop a conceptual
design of lake amenities and bank treatments. Amendment No. 2 in the amount
$10,000 was executed by the City Manager on June 20, 2005 for additional
professional services to evaluate alternative flood storage elevations and to refine
concepts for a plaza, pedestrian bridges, and a fountain.
Amendment No. 3 is proposed to the engineering services agreement in an
amount not to exceed $24,800 for engineering services to revise the lake and
sump configuration, flood storage master plan, realign Knightsbridge Road, and
replat the Knightsbridge Road right-of-way. The revisions will increase the
amount of developable land. The final design of improvements and preparation of
construction plans and specifications will be performed under a separate
agreement.
As per the terms of the Development Agreement, the developer previously
advanced the funds for the engineering services agreement including
Amendments Nos. 1 and 2, and has now advanced funds for Amendment No. 3.
Volume 95, page 103
The City Engineer recommends approval of Resolution No. 2005-107 approving
Amendment No. 3 to the engineering services agreement with Carter and Burgess,
Inc. relative to sump and lake improvements north of I-635 in the amount not to
exceed $24,800.
Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Robinson asked if this was converted from the above
ground sump to the below ground sump and if this is the project where the
contractor defaulted. City Engineer Jerry Murawski replied that Amendment No.
3 is to the engineering services agreement with Carter and Burgess, Inc.,
specifically, the configuration of the sump on the west side. The sump is where
storm water is collected within the levees on the West Side and then conveyed by
pumps or pipes into the Elm Fork of the Trinity River.
There being no further discussion, a motion by Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Robinson,
seconded by Councilwoman Smith, all voting "aye," adopted Resolution No.
2005-107 approving Amendment No. 3 to the engineering services agreement
with Carter and Burgess, Inc. relative to sump and lake improvements north of I-
635 in the amount not to exceed $24,800.
D.3 CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 2005-101 REJECTING ALL
BIDS FOR MALLON PARK LAKE IMPROVEMENTS AND TAKE
APPROPRIATE ACTION.
Mayor Phelps presented the following information. Mallon Park lake
improvements are budgeted in the 2004-05 Non-Bond Capital Improvement
Program Fund Budget in the amount of $200,000. The improvements consist of
dredging the lake, repairing a section of failed retaining wall, and installing
improvements to prevent additional wall failures.
Four bids were received and opened on August 2, 2005. The lowest bid received
was from Linder Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $285,845.00,
which substantially exceeds the project budget. After the bids were received, staff
initiated discussions with the four bidders and two other contractors to ascertain
the reasons the bids were so high and to determine if the improvements can be
redesigned to lower cost. After meeting with the bidders and other contractors,
staff has determined that lower bids can be expected by changing the design of the
improvements. Those changes include providing alternative designs for the
improvements to prevent additional wall failures and reducing the depth of the
dredging from eight feet to six feet. Staff recommends rejection of all the bids,
redesign of the improvements, and rebidding the project.
There being no discussion, a motion by Mayor Pro Tem Bird, seconded by
Councilwoman Smith, all voting "aye," adopted Resolution No. 2005-101,
rejecting all bids for Mallon Park Lake Improvements.

DA CONSIDER APPOINTMENTS TO THE SCHOOL-COMMUNITY
RELATIONS COMMITTEE, THE COMMUNITY WATCH COMMITTEE
AND THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD AND TAKE APPROPRIATE
ACTION.
Mayor Phelps stated the School-Community Relations Committee, the
Community Watch Committee and the Parks and Recreation Board would be
brought back to the September 19th City Council meeting.
D.5 DISCUSS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ISSUES AND TAKE
APPROPRIATE ACTION.
In response to the national emergency created by Hurricane Katrina, the City of
Farmers Branch is involved and active in several areas of responsibility.
A total of six City staff members are either in or bound for the region, or standing
by, to assist in rescue and recovery efforts. Firefighter/paramedic Dennis Gross
was activated with the Texas Task Force 1 Team for deployment to Louisiana in
advance of the hurricane's projected landfall. On Monday, August 29, he advised
that he was staged just north of New Orleans. Since that time, four additional
members of the Farmers Branch Fire Department are responding today to the
region in response to FEMA's emergency call. They are Battalion Chief Michael
Lafon and Paramedic ESOs Ron Morrison, Jerry Cromer and Eric Hurley. Also,
Traffic Engineering employee Mark Gorton has been called to stand by for Air
National Guard duty in the area.
It is expected that these members of the City staff will be gone for at least 30
days.
An emergency preparedness staff meeting was held at City Hall on Friday,
September 2 in order to gauge the City's readiness to assist in relief efforts. On
Saturday morning, Assistant City Manager Mary Jane Stevenson responded to a
call from Dallas County District 1 Commissioner Maurine Dickey to meet at
Carrollton City Hall. Commissioner Dickey wanted to be briefed by cities in her
district on issues of current emergency response and preparedness.
City staff has also been working with Farmers Branch hotels. Farmers Branch
hotels were housing hurricane evacuees in approximately 60 rooms. Staff has
provided the hotels with contact information for C-F13 ISD in anticipation of
education needs for children and is disseminating information to interested
individuals on relief efforts by Senior Adult Services and the Metrocrest Social
Service Center. A business on Valley View Lane has acted as a collection center
for the North Texas Food Bank through this past weekend and is still collecting
relief supplies today.
Other organized efforts have been initiated by Rotary and other churches and
community organizations that will be looking for volunteers in the recovery
Volume 95, page 105
effort. In addition, several employees may need to take leave to go and assist
immediate family members in disaster recovery when that time is appropriate.
On Thursday, September 1, the Dallas Chapter of the Salvation Army put out a
call for bottled water, baby food, diapers and other personal items to help supply
evacuees in the D/FW area. In response, City employees donated approximately
$850 in a matter of hours that was used to purchase those necessities that were
delivered to the Salvation Army that afternoon. City employees making the
delivery reported waiting in a traffic line for more than 30 minutes before being
able to drop off the supplies.
In an effort to assist those that may be looking for a way to help, the City's web
site has links to FEMA, as well as other agencies, where a comprehensive list of
relief agencies may be found.
Farmers Branch City staff and citizens obviously care greatly about the human
toll of this disaster and those persons who have had their lives so terribly affected.
There are many means of providing assistance that are being evaluated for use in
the near and more distant future as recovery will take months, and perhaps years.
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 2832 authorizing the City Manager
or her designee to be able to authorize emergency expenditures not to exceed
$50,000 for response to Hurricane Katrina until December 5, 2005.
A motion by Councilwoman Smith, seconded by Councilman Moses, all voting
"aye," approved the following captioned Ordinance No. 2832.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH, TEXAS,
