was willing to place a Welcome to Kennedale monument sign on the
property to assist with the gateway entrance to the City.
Next, Roberts addressed the perspective view of the QuikTrip, gas canopy
elevations, and building elevations, all of which would count as guidelines
and are part of the proposed ordinance. She then went on to explain the
recommended changes to the proposed QTPDD ordinance which included
the following: (1) Revoke all references to Lot 2;_ (2) Change Section 2.6.
Setbacks to read "Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 17 -405 of the
Kennedale City Code regarding required front yard, rear yard, side yard -
interior lot, and side yard - corner lot setbacks for "C -1" Restricted
Commercial District Zoning, the Planned Development zoning herein
approved shall require the following minimum setbacks (in feet):
a. Front setbacks shall be a minimum of twenty -five (25) feet.
b. Rear setbacks shall be a minimum of five (5) feet.
c. Side setbacks shall be a minimum of ten (10) feet.
( 3) Change Section 2.8. Parking to read "Parking areas shall be constructed
of asphalt or reinforced concrete and shall have a minimum of 35 parking
spaces. (4) Change Section 2.15. Sidewalks to read "Sidewalks shall
3424
provide public access to QTPDD from Business Highway 287 and shall be
constructed according to standards required by the City of Kennedale Code
of Ordinances. "; and (5) Amend the site plan to authorize the relocation of
the existing billboard on the property provided that the relocated sign shall
not exceed the existing height or existing sign face area. A permit may be
issued for the relocated sign to be renovated to a single pole and other
improvements may be made to the sign provided that the existing lease term
is not extended.
Councilmember Miller inquired about bricking the columns under the
canopy. Ms. Roberts indicated that the issue was discussed and QuikTrip
found bricking the columns to be cost prohibited.
A discussion ensued between Jake Petras, Real Estate Project Manager for
QuikTrip and the city council in regards to the brick columns. City Council
indicated that they would prefer the brick columns as the property was the
focal point and entrance to the City, and it would set the tone for future
development to follow. It was suggested that the City could work with
QuikTrip on the sign monument in return for the brick columns. Also, it was
suggested that the KEDC might be able to provide assistance with the
improvements.
Mr. Petras replied that he could see that the brick columns were an important
aspect of the Council's vision for the City, and would provide the brick -
columns.

Special Notice for the ELDERLY, INFANTS,
CANCER PATIENTS, people with HIV /AIDS or
other immune problems:
Some people may be more vulnerable to
contaminants in drinking water than the general
population. Immuno-compromised persons such
as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy,
persons who have undergone organ transplants,
people with HIV /AIDS or other immune system
disorders, some elderly, and infants can be
particularly at risk from infections. These people
should seek advice about drinking water from
their health care providers. The EPA /Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on
appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection
by Cryptosporidium and other microbialcontaminants
are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline

Our Drinking Water Meets or Exceeds All
Federal (EPA) Drinking Water Requirements
This report is a summary of the quality of the
water we provide our customers. The analysis was
made by using the data from the most recent U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) required tests
and is presented in the attached pages. We hope this
information helps you become more knowledgeable
about what's in your drinking water.
WATER SOURCES: The sources of drinking water
(both tap water and bottled water) include rivers,
lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and
wells. As water travels over the surface of the
land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally -
occurring minerals, and in some cases, radioactive
material, and can pick up substances resulting from
the presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water
before treatment include: microbes, inorganic
contaminants, pesticides, herbicides, radioactive
contaminants, and organic chemical contaminants.

Where do we get our drinking water?
Kennedale drinking water during 2008 consisted of 87 percent
'ROUND and 13 percent SURFACE water. Kennedale has six wells
.nat pull GROUND water from the Trinity aquifer (TWIN MTS, TRAVIS
PEAK and PALUXY). We also purchase treated SURFACE water from
the City of Fort Worth that they obtain from Lake Bridgeport, Eagle
Mountain Lake, Lake Worth, Benbrook Lake, Cedar Creek Reservoir
and Richland- Chambers Reservoir.
Since Fort Worth and Kennedale water sources are different, the
treatment /disinfection process is different. The City of Kennedale
began mixing the different water sources in May 2008. Kennedale
utilizes free chlorine as a disinfectant whereas Fort Worth utilizes
chloramines. Chloramines are a combination of chlorine and
ammonia and are used as a disinfectant in most surface waters.
The addition of chloramines may cause problems to persons
dependent on dialysis machines. A condition known as hemolytic
anemia can occur if the disinfectant is not completely removed
from the water that is used for the dialysate. Consequently, the
pretreatment scheme used for the dialysis units must include some
means, such as charcoal filtering, for the removal of chloramines.
If you are utilizing a dialysis machine, please contact the
manufacturer for information concerning this matter. In addition,
chloramines in certain concentrations may be toxic to fish. If you
have a fish tank, please make sure that the chemicals or filters you
are using are designed for use in water that has been treated with
chloramines. Your local pet store is a good source of information on
its topic along with the appropriate reagents for
neutralizing chloramines.
A Source Water Susceptibility Assessment was conducted by the
TCEQ in 2003. Both Fort Worth and Kennedale water systems are
susceptible to some contaminants, using criteria developed by
TCEQ in its federally approved source water assessment program.
The assessment report consists of maps showing the assessment
area, an inventory of known land use activities of concern and
documentation of specific contaminants of concern. The reports are
available for review at the Fort Worth Water Department office, 1000
Throckmorton St., and the Kennedale Water Department office, 923
Kennedale Parkway, respectively.
ALL drinking water may contain contaminants.
When drinking water meets federal standards there may not be any .
health based benefits to purchasing bottled water or point of use
devices. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be
expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants.
The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that
water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and
potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe
Drinking Water Hotline (1- 800-426-4791).
Secondary Constituents
Many constituents (such as calcium, sodium, or iron) which are
often found in drinking water, can cause taste, color, and odor
problems. The taste and odor constituents are called secondary
constituents and are regulated by the State of Texas, not the EPA.
These constituents are not causes for health concern. Secondary
constituents are not required to be reported in this document but
they may greatly affect the appearance and taste of your water.
About The Following Pages
The pages that follow list all of the federally regulated or monitored
contaminants which have been found in your drinking water. The
U.S. EPA requires water systems to test for up to 97 contaminants.
Abbreviations and Definitions
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL)
The highest permissible level of a contaminant in drinking water.
MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best
available treatment technology.
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG)
The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no
known or expected health risk. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL)
The highest level of disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is
convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for
control of microbial contaminants.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal'(MRDLG)
The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no
known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits
of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contamination.
Treatment Technique (TT)
A required process intended to reduce the level of contaminant in
drinking water.
Action Level (AL)
The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers
treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

Cryptosporidium Monitoring Information
Tarrant Regional Water District testing of Fort Worth's source water lakes in 2008 revealed low levels of Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia
and viruses. These are microscopic organisms common in surface water.
Required levels of inactivation are achieved by Fort Worth through disinfection and filtration.
When ingested, Cryptosporidium and Giardia lamblia can cause diarrhea, cramps and fever.
Infants, some elderly or immunocompromised persons, such as those undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, those who have undergone organ
transplants, those who are undergoing treatment with steroids and people with HIV /AIDS or other immune system disorders can be
particularly at risk from infections. Seek advice about your drinking water from your physician or health care provider.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is
primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. This water supply is responsible for providing high quality
drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components.
When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds
to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking.
If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and
steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at "http: / /www.epa.gov /safewater /lead."
Total Coliform
Total coliform bacteria are used as indicators of microbial contamination of drinking water because testing for them is easy. While not disease -
causing organisms themselves, they are often found in association with other microbes that are capable of causing disease. Coliform bacteria are
more hardy than many disease - causing organisms; therefore, their absence from water is a good indication that the water is microbiologically safe
for human consumption.

Subject: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 14 OF THE
KENNEDALE CITY CODE (199 1) TO ESTABLISH A JUVENILE
.CASE MANAGER FUND AND PROVIDE FOR THE
ASSESSNENT AND COLLECTION OF A JUVENILE CASE
MANAGER FEE
Originated by: Sakura Moten- Dedrick _
Summary:
In the 79` Legislative Session of the State of Texas, the Legislature allowed cities to add a fee of no
more than $5.00 to the costs of court to pay for a Juvenile Case Manager. Not only will this
proposed ordinance allow the Court to assess a fee of $5.00, but it further enables the Court to
collect it from any defendant who is convicted of a "fine only misdemeanor offense" in our City.
Currently. the Kennedale Municipal Court does not employ a Juvenile Case Manager, and we do
not anticipate the addition of this position until such time that a true need is determined and /or
collection of this fee can support the cost of the Juvenile Case Manager to a large degree. The
Kennedale Municipal Court is currently in preliminary talks with the cities of Forest Hill and
Everman concerning the feasibility of establishing a "Tri -City Teen Court", and legislation provides
for the collection of this fee in anticipation of eventually filling the Juvenile Case Manager position.
Because this position may materialize into a joint effort, there is a strong possibility that the City of
Kennedale would only be obligated to 1/3 of the total salary requirement for a Juvenile Case
Manager /Teen Court Coordinator. Based on the average number of cases either paid in full or court
costs paid in full over the past four years, the Court would have assessed and collected
approximately $17,300 per year for a cumulative total of $69,200 year to date.
Municipal and justice courts have assumed a substantial role in the Texas juvenile justice system
during the last 20 years. Given the concentrated knowledge and in -depth training in social work that
often accompanies this role, the Juvenile Case Manager position is a great tool to better aid us in our
efforts of accomplishing higher compliance rates, reduced recidivism, and a better quality of life
among juvenile offenders. Furthermore, the eventual creation of such a position would transfer the
responsibility of monitoring juvenile cases away from the Deputy Court Clerk, and in turn allow
more time for her to focus on outstanding payments and the increase of our current collection rate.
Recommended Motion:
Staff recommends that Council enact the proposed ordinance and further stipulate that any fees
deposited into this fund should remain untouched until such time that this position is appropriately
approved and adequately funded as determined by Council and /or the City Manager.
Disposition by Council:
WHEREAS, in its 79th Regular Legislative Session, the Texas Legislature amended the
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, by adding a new Section 102.0174 thereto, which amendment
authorizes municipalities, by ordinance, to create a Juvenile Case Manager Fund," hereinafter
referred to as the "Fund," and require defendants convicted of 'fine -only misdemeanor offenses' to
pay a case manager fee not to exceed five dollars ($5.00) into such Fund, as a cost of court, and
providing the purposes for which the Fund may be used; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the implementation of such a Fund, related to
the City's Municipal Court, and has determined that the Fund would benefit the operations of the
Municipal Court, as well as the health, safety and welfare of the Kennedale community at large, by
providing the youth of the City with access to a juvenile case manager for the court.

Agenda I- N'
Subject: Review and consider action to approve Ordinance No 30 adding Chapter 16
(Parks, Recreation and Cultural Activities) Article VII, Keep Kennedale Beautiful Commission.
Originated by: Bob Hart
Summary: A recommendation of the strategic plan was "to initiate the formation of a local
Keep Texas Beautiful affiliate and, once formed, appoint its initial members." The focus of the
affiliate is to give Kennedale a "facelift" so citizens and visitors see a clean and beautiful
community. The upcoming budget contemplates UTA developing a landscaping plan along
Kennedale Parkway. The staff reviewed several cities to see how affiliates are actually
organized. Generally, the affiliates are either stand alone 501(c) (3) organizations or city
commissions. In our case, the staff recommendation is to create a 7- member commission
with appointments made by the council for a two -year term. Thus, the Keep Kennedale
Beautiful Commission will be similar to other city advisory boards.
Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the addition to the above named
ordinance.
