06/14/1990, Regular Meeting MinutesPage 1718 KENNEDALE CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - JUNE 14, 1990 COMMUNITY CENTER Mayor Steve Radakovich called the meeting to order at 7:30 PM. Members present were Steve Radakovich, Pete Kirkpatrick, Tom Boone, Robert Mundy and Mark Wright. Bill Abbott was absent. ITEM NO. 1 - Presentation and Proposed Resolution Regarding D/FW Airport. Mrs. Sharron Spencer, Councilwoman of City of Grapevine made a presentation regarding the proposed expansion of Dallas/Fort Worth Airport. Ms. Spencer's main concern was that the D/FW Officials were not following the Master Plan agreed upon and Runway 16/34W was directly aimed over Main Street, downtown Grapevine, causing safety, noise and economic hazards. The cities of Grapevine, Euless and Irving were seeking support from Kennedale in their opposition to current proposed reconstruction plans for the expansion. Motion by Robert Mundy, second by Tom Boone, to table the proposed resolution supporting the cities against the current plan. Motion carried unanimously. ITEM NO. 2 - Approval for Pro-Rata Participation in Metering Manhole for the Sewer for Steeple Chase Addition. Ted Rowe explained that the developer, through his engineer, Page 1719 requested that the city participate in the construction cost of the sewer manhole in Steeplechase Addition. This is the manhole that would meter the flow from Steeplechase Addition into the City of Arlington, as part of our agreement with Arlington. The full cost of the manhole is not just the 59,000 that was computed for the present bill. After about 50 homes are built there would be a requirement for approximately 510,000 worth of equipment to be installed inside the manhole and adjacent to it. Therefore, the full cost would be 519,000 to 520 000. If we decide to participate in a pro-rata manner with the manhole then we are almost obligated to go pro-rata with the equipment as well. The other alternative is the city can arrange with Mr. Ralph Shelton to let them pay for the manhole and let anybody else that ties onto that line, whose flow is going to be metered through that manhole, to pay him a pro-rata share to tie in. That would keep the city out of it entirely. Mayor Radakovich suggested that would be the best solution. The Mayor stated that upon plat approval he was under the impression that the developer had already worked out an agreement with Arlington to tie onto their sewer line. Ted Rowe explained that they are basing their rational on the fact that our ordinance provides for the city to participate in oversizing of water and sewer lines. That's not quite the same thing. Because of the new state law regarding developer fees we are not in the position where we can charge them a pro-rata share of tying into our system, we haven't had that study done. We are 0 Page 1720 loosing that amount of money. To tie up more of our money to help them pay for their sewer is like giving them a bonus for not having to pay us to begin with. Ted Rowe asked Attorney Don Driver if it was routine for cities to enter into agreements withdevelopers to allow them to recover a pro-rata share from anyone else that ties onto their investment in the sewer. Don Driver stated that is generally done and it's not unusual. Mayor Radakovich raised the issue of maintaining the metering station. He recalled that the storm destroyed another metering station and the city had 510,000 in repair cost. Ted Rowe explained that if the developer offered to dedicate the metering station to the City and if we accept it, it would be the responsibility of Kennedale. It was the consensus of the Council not to accept the responsibility of the metering station. Motion was made by Pete Kirkpatrick, second by Mark Wright, to require future developers within the identified area to have an agreement with Ralph Shelton to pay their pro-rata share on the sewer prior to plat approval and reject the payment of 56,669. Motion passed unanimously. ITEM H0. 3 - Approval of Minutes of a Public Hearing and Regular Meeting dated May 10, 1990. After receiving no corrections from Council, Mayor Radakovich declared the minutes approved as presented. ITEM KO. 6 - Designation of Records Management Officer. Ted Rowe described the Records Management Officer (RMO) as a person who develops the city's plan for maintaining records, archiving records, and destroying nonessential records. It is a Page 1721 requirement passed by the legislature in 1989. The Records Management Plan will be submitted for Council approval. Linda Royster was recommended to Council for appointment as RMO. Robert Mundy moved that Linda Royster be designated RMO, second by Pete Kirkpatrick. Motion passed unanimously. ITEM N0. 7 - Proposed Ordinance Providing that no Plat Shall be Considered if the Owner is Delinquent in Any Taxes.
