Scott Bradley, Mayor ATTEST: Kim Sutter, TRMC, Town Secretary Page 6 of 6 Town of Westlake Memo To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Board of Aldermen From: Joe C. Hennig, Interim Town Manager Eddie Edwards, Director of Planning and Development Subject: Regular Meeting of February 11, 2008 Date: February 5, 2008 ITEM Conduct a Public Hearing and consider an Ordinance approving an application for a specific use permit for a private water well to be located at 2020 Post Oak Place in the Vaquero Arthur Addition — Phase 3; Lot 26, Block K. BACKGROUND The operation of private water wells supports the policy of the Town to provide for an aesthetic living environment that promotes the development of green spaces, the preservation of trees, and the maintenance of a rural setting. The extensive landscaping, tree preservation and mitigation policies of the Town are in fact dependent on the ability of the development community to maintain the living material in a healthy state. This requires that an alternative source of water, other than public water supply, be utilized. From a planning perspective the siting of a water well should address land use considerations such as compatible land uses, adverse performance impacts, and accessibility. There is ample opportunity to screen the site from adjacent. property. In fact, water wells of this type are normally very low in profile and are usually screened by natural trees and vegetation. We do not see the need for dedicated rights =of -way or easements for the access roads, however, the applicant should illustrate how the well will be serviced so as not to interrupt neighboring property owners. As the Town considers the application for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for a water well, it is important that we establish the appropriate standard of review. Specific Use Permits are generally applied to uses that encompass intensity levels of a type which require special treatment or location to ensure compatibility with surrounding properties and uses. As an example, a convenience store with high traffic volumes and significant Outside lighting, should only be allowed adjacent to residential homes when its harmful elements can be alleviated or compensated for by landscape screening, access restrictions, low -glare lighting, or the like: Allowing such a use "by right" would not allow for individual consideration of those factors. Conversely, prohibiting the use entirely would result in certain necessary uses being. located only in areas where the use is impractical. Matters such as those discussed above constitute the proper standard of review when considering this SUP application. As is explained below, however, concerns about the protection of the Town's underground water supply are not a permissible basis for the denial of an SUP for a water well. The State of Texas operates under the same rule of capture with respect to both its water and petroleum resources. That rule can be best summarized by the most definitive Texas Supreme Court case on the issue of water use when it ruled as follows: absent malice or willful waste, landowners have a right to take all the water they can capture under their land and do with it whatever they please, and they will not be liable for their neighbors even if in so doing they deprive their neighbors of the water's use. Sipriano v. Great Spring Waters of America, Inc., 1 S.W. 3d 75, 76 (Tex. 1999). That decision, which makes clear that neither the Town nor the courts can regulate the amount of water taken from wells, is based on the premise that the Texas legislature has specifically reserved to itself the authority to establish rules regarding groundwater. Id. At 77. The legislative structure regarding the rule of capture has been in place since 1904. Id. At 78. In light of the existing precedent on this matter, the Planning and Zoning Commission and.the Board should limit their. review to the compatibility of the proposed use with the surrounding properties and uses. In summary, the Specific Use Permit application filed. by Simmons Estate Homes for homeowner Sharon and David Gibbs for 2020 Post Oak Place should be considered based only on any potentially harmful impact its location and placement might have on adjacent properties and uses, exclusive of any consideration of groundwater conservation. In light of the location of the subject water well, and its limited potential impact on surrounding properties and uses, staff recommends approval. The Planning and Zoning Commission met on January 24, 2008, concerning this case and did approve the application for this water well.

Stanton Lowry, Town Attorney Scott Bradley, Mayor Joe C. Hennig, Interim Town Manager Town of Westlake Memo To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Board of Aldermen From: Joe Hennig, Interim Town Manager Todd Wood, Director of Administrative Services Subject: Regular Meeting of February 11, 2008 Date: February 6, 2008 ITEM Consider a Resolution approving the addition of Good Friday to the Town of Westlake's officially recognized holidays. BACKGROUND The Town of Westlake currently observes nine official holidays. During observance of these holidays, Town offices are closed. In the event that an approved holiday falls on a weekend, the holiday is observed on the preceding Friday or the following Monday. Emergency services are unaffected by observed holidays, as DPS employees utilize a floating holiday bank to accommodate the nature of their work schedules. Neither would this holiday affect the ability of Town employees to respond to urgencies if required. In a survey of 42 cities within the DFW metroplex, the number of observed holidays varied between eight and fourteen days annually. The addition of Good Friday would enhance the Town's benefit package, making it more comparable to the median number of holidays recognized by other cities and give Westlake a total of ten holidays. Good Friday is recommended for adoption due to its proximity on the calendar. The first two holidays observed each calendar year are New Year's Day and Memori al Day. The result is a five month period between holidays. Good Friday is a logical choice for an additional holiday, as it normally occurs in the middle of this five -month period. This additional holiday was discussed in the Special Called Board of Aldermen meeting on December 15`h and verbal approval was given to proceed. The Board of Aldermen calendar adopted at the January 14, 2008, Board of Aldermen meeting reflected the additional holiday and this additional day will be included in the Town of Westlake personnel manual and payroll calendar as necessary. APPROVED BY: own Mana er's Off e T n Secretary's Office TOWN OF WESTLAKE RESOLUTION NO. 08 -06 APPROVING THE ADDITION OF GOOD FRIDAY TO THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE'S OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED HOLIDAYS. WHEREAS, the goal of the Town of Westlake is to provide policies and benefits that are competitive to surrounding cities; and WHEREAS, the Town of Westlake recognizes that the proximity of Good Friday on the calendar is ideal as an addition to currently recognized holidays; and WHEREAS, the Town of Westlake recognizes that responses for emergency services and urgent service requests within our community will be unaffected by the addition of this holiday; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE: SECTION 1. That this Board of Aldermen does hereby approve the adoption of Good Friday as an officially recognized Town Holiday in the Town of Westlake, Texas. SECTION 2. That this Resolution shall become effective upon the date of its passage. PASSED AND APPROVED ON THIS 1111-1 DAY OF FEBRUARY 2008. Scott Bradley, Mayor ATTEST: Kim Sutter, TRMS, Town Secretary Joe C. Hennig, Interim Town Manager APPROVED AS TO FORM L. Stanton Lowry, Town Attorney Town of Westlake Memo To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Board of Aldermen From: Joe C. Hennig, Interim Town Manager Subject: Regular Meeting of February 11, 2008 Date: February 6, 2008 ITEM 1) Consider a Resolution approving an amendment to the joint engineering services contract with Graham Associates, Inc, and the City of Keller, City of Southlake, and the Town of Westlake for engineering and design services regarding the FM 1938 expansion project. 2) Consider a Resolution approving a second amendment to the Interlocal Agreement with Tarrant County, Denton County, City of Keller, City of Southlake and the Town of Westlake regarding the additional contribution from Tarrant County and memorializing the parties' obligations and responsibilities regarding a Right -of -Way acquisition and the FM 1938 expansion project. BACKGROUND In March of 2001, the Town of Westlake, the City of Southlake, and the City of Keller entered into a contract agreement for engineering services with Graham Associates, Inc. for the design of the thoroughfare and preparation of right -of -way (ROW) documents for the extension of F.M. 1938 along the route of Randol Mill Road and Precinct Line Road from F.M. 1709 to S.H. 114. Tarrant County and Denton County are assisting with the project ROW acquisition through an Interlocal Agreement with all three cities. Each City has to pay for its own design surveying and ROW costs. Funding for the engineering was split between the three cities based on their frontage on the project after subtracting all the contributed engineering funds from large property owners. The design project has had some difficulties over the last seven years that have caused delays. The project was divided into two phases with the northern section being almost entirely in Westlake. Practically all the ROW needed in Westlake has been acquired. The engineer has recently submitted 90% complete plans for Phase I to the Texas Department of Transportation ( TXDOT) for review and received comments. The Environmental Assessment (EA) has been reviewed and approved by TXDOT for submittal to the Federal Highway Administration. The Phase I portion of the referenced project is currently scheduled to be let by TXDOT in September of 2008. The construction cost estimates have increased over the last seven years. The current cost estimate for engineering, ROW acquisition, TXDOT review and inspection, and construction of this project is $41,300,000. The funding for this regional project has recently been increased to cover this amount by the Regional Transportation Council (RTC). The Federal, State, and Local funds have been committed for the entire project. Graham Associates, Inc. has incurred and will incur additional engineering costs on this project due to splitting the project into two phases, additional requirements on the EA by TXDOT, subsurface utility engineering investigation and plans required by TXDOT, some offsite drainage problems with Phase I, and some unforeseen additional ROW research and strip map revisions: The additional money needed to cover these fees and finish Phase I is $331,492. Additional engineering fees for Phase II have also increased by $485,515. All three cities have reviewed Graham's breakdown of these additional costs and feel they are reasonable. Currently, the major concern by all three cities, counties, RTC, and TXDOT is to get the first phase of this project under construction. The second part to this amendment process pertains to the Interlocal Agreement. Tarrant County Precinct 3 Commissioner Gary Fickes speaking for the entire Commissioner's Court has now offered additional money not to exceed $1,000,000 to be utilized for this project for engineering and ROW acquisition to help expedite getting this regionally important project under construction. This will cover all the additional engineering costs for Phase 1 so the cities will not have to appropriate any additional funds at this time. As a reminder, the funds will be paid to Westlake, depository of this money, to disperse the money for all parties as budgeted invoices are submitted. The additional commitment from Tarrant County is attributable to the additional expenses for the Environment Assessment (EA), Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE), and other additional engineering costs necessary for the completion of Phase I. 4Tn Secretary's Office TOWN OF WESTLAKE RESOLUTION NO. 08-08 APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE JOINT ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT WITH GRAHAM ASSOCIATES INC. AND THE CITY OF KELLER, CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, AND TOWN OF WESTLAKE FOR ENGINEERING AND DESIGN SERVICES REGARDING THE FM 1938 EXPANSION PROJECT.

WHEREAS, the Board of Aldermen has deemed it necessary and in the best interest, health, and welfare of the citizens of Westlake and the region to move forward with this project; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE: SECTION 1. That the above findings are hereby found to be true and correct are incorporated herein in their entirety. SECTION 2.

Amendment to Interlocal Agreement Page 3 of 3 Town of Westlake Memo To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Board of Aldermen From: Joe Hennig, Interim Town Manager Jarrod Greenwood, Public Works Superintendent Subject: Regular meeting of February 11, 2008 Date: February 1, 2008 ITEM Consider a Resolution approving a budget amendment and related agreement with Rodgers Construction Company for the West Side Pump Station Improvements. BACKGROUND The Westlake Pump Station was constructed by Hillwood and dedicated to the Town in 2000. Westlake obtains its water via a connection Fort Worth's 24" water main on Denton Hwy. The water passes through a Fort Worth Meter and into Westlake's ground storage tank. Flow rates are manipulated by a valve that opens and closes to scalable set points. This allows staff to manage Peak charges from Fort Worth. However, since it was placed into operation, the pump station has experienced several malfunctions that resulted in overflowing of the ground storage tank and wasting millions of gallons of water. With each malfunction, staff must resort to manual operation of the pump station until the failure is corrected. In May 2007, staff consulted various valve manufacturers for potential alternatives after the manufacturer informed staff that an improvement to the existing valve did not exist. The solution was to remove the existing 16" "globe" valve and replace it with a 16" "butterfly" valve and operate it with an electric motor controller. This is consistent with newer installations, for instance Roanoke and Haslet. Staff planned to contract out the removal /installation of the 16" valves and purchase the motor controller directly from the manufacturer. The Town's SCADA contractor would make the electrical connections to ensure that the appropriate device was installed. Staff included $20,000 in the adopted FY 2007/08 budget for this work to be completed. However in September 2007, a malfunction with Fort Worth's meter created an operation failure that forced staff to manually operate the pump station for a period of four days. This event resulted from our reliance on flow signals from Fort Worth, which have previously created isolated incidents of lesser magnitudes. As a result, staff recognized the need to install our own flow meter, independent of Fort Worth, to operate the pump station and to verify Fort Worth meter readings. The competitive bid process was followed as outlined in the Texas Local Government Code. All specifications for the work were available to the public and bid procedures properly advertised. The bid package was properly advertised in December of 2007, with a bid opening of January 10, 2008. The bid package included the original valve replacement and the purchase a new motor controller with the needed addition of a new flow meter. The basic level bids proposed and received were as follows: Rogers Construction at $29,739 Wilson Contractor Services at $38,490 Triple D at $58,000 Legacy Contracting, L.P. at $99,000 Rogers Construction was the lowest bid received which includes the original valve replacement and the new meter and vault installation. The new motor controller, will be purchased outright from the manufacturer as originally budgeted. FUNDING A budget amendment of $18,039 is now needed to allow for the necessary increase in expenditures to total $38,039. This includes the original budgeted amount of $20,000, the Rogers bid of $29,739 plus the cost of the motor controller and SCADA integration of $8300 direct from the manufacturer. The fund balance of the Utility Fund will absorb the $18,039 additional funds needed to complete this project. TOWN OF WESTLAKE RESOLUTION NO. 08 -10 APPROVING A BUDGET AMENDMENT AND RELATED AGREEMENT WITH ROGERS CONSTRUCTION FOR. THE WEST SIDE PUMP STATION IMPROVEMENTS. WHEREAS, the Board of Aldermen finds that the pump station improvements benefit the safety and.welfare of the public water supply; and WHEREAS, the Board of Aldermen finds that the procedures and requirements set forth in the Texas Local Government Code regarding competitive bidding requirements for the pump station improvements were appropriately followed; and WHEREAS, the Board of Aldermen finds that increase in expenditures and budget amendment of $18,039 is necessary for the needed improvements; and WHEREAS, the original budgeted amount of $20,000 is included in the FY 2007/08 adopted Utility Fund budget; and WHEREAS, the Board of Aldermen now finds that the passage of this Resolution is in the best interest of the public; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE, TEXAS: SECTION 1.

ABSENT: None. STAFF PRESENT: Town Manager Joe Hennig, Town Secretary Kim Sutter, Director of Planning and Development Eddie Edwards, DPS Director Don Wilson, Recreation and Facilities Director Troy Meyer, Finance Director Debbie Piper, and Executive Assistant Ginger Awtry. 1. CALL TO ORDER. Mayor Bradley called the pre -board meeting to order at 5:01 p.m. 3. HEAR AND DISCUSS REPORT FROM GIDEON TOAL REGARDING PROPOSED ARTS AND SCIENCES CENTER BUILDING. Interim Town Manager Hennig presented a brief history and introduced the item. Mr. Hennig advised that recent discussions indicate that the Board desires to take a different direction with regards to the scope of the construction of the facility as it relates to construction costs, and introduced Mr. Michael Bennett of Gideon Toal, Inca Mayor Bradley asked Mr. Bennett if the entire facility could be built for $5.5 million. Mr. Michael Bennett, Gideon Toal, Inc., responded that he felt that the entire facility could be built for $5.5 million, and explained that it could be accomplished with the use of alternative construction methods and materials. Mr. Bennett advised that the Board will need to make decisions regarding the construction methods and materials.. Mayor Pro Tern Redding inquired as to the preferred foundation. Town of Westlake Board of Aldermen Pre -Board Meeting January 28, 2008 page 2 of 6 Mr. Bennett responded that, if money was no object they would prefer to use the method utilized on the existing structure; however, they believe the cart and form foundation is a good fall back alternative and offers the best value for the money long term. Interim Town Manager Hennig inquired if an exposed slab would create any safety issues. Mr. Bennett responded that an exposed slab would create safety issues as the slab must be prepared for water and sewer, and safety rails will also need to be added as a result of the grade differences. Mayor Pro Tem. Redding asked if a total sum of the complete project could be provided along with deductive alternatives. Mr. Bennett responded that he would like to start with a plan that outlines the basic elements of the project and also identify `add alternates' that could be included if and when funding is available. Interim Town Manager Hennig stated that a self - imposed deadline of February 15, 2008, has been set to release the Request for Qualifications (RFQ), and contractor selection is slated by mid - March. Mr. Hennig stated that the final cost is not expected until the end of April to mid -May. Mr. Hennig asked Mr. Bennett if the schedule could be met and work can start by mid -June. Mr. Bennett responded that he felt the schedule could be met. Alderman Corson clarified that the Board approved the construction manager at risk process. and the timeline identified by the Town Manager is a step toward identifying a contractor that will work through the value engineering so that a reasonably good cost estimate can be provided. Mr. Corson inquired if the $3.5 million quote includes the full furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF & E) package for the science lab portion of the building, and relocation of the gas lines. Mr. Bennett responded that the quote does include FF & E as well as the relocation of the gas lines. Mr. Bennett added that the lab space would be functional and usable. Interim Town Manager Hennig added that the estimate includes all costs, including soft costs, design costs, and contingencies. .Alderman Corson inquired as to the cost difference between a pier and beam foundation and a cart and form foundation. Mr. Bennett responded that he would have to follow -up with the Board with the cost difference between the two types of foundations. Alderman Timmerman asked for a clarification concerning the differences between the cart and form and pier and beam foundations. Town of Westlake Board of Aldermen Pre -Board Meeting January 28, 2008 page 3 of 6 Mr. Bennett responded that the issue is not one of strength or accessibility, but one of movement. - Alderman Maynard asked if we are loosing economy of scale if we bring in different contractors to construct the add alternatives. Mr. Bennett responded that it would be a timing issue dependent on whether the contractor is still on the job site. Alderman Maynard inquired as to the construction timeline once ground has been broken as he feels seeing some sort of progress is important to the fundraising campaign. Mr. Bennett replied that once ground has been broken, construction on the building should begin within eight to 12 weeks. Alderman Timmerman asked for clarification concerning the add alternates with respect to the contractor who will perform the work. Mr. Bennett explained that the add alternates will be included -in the bid documents and can be added to the project as the project moves forward, and would be performed by the same contractor selected during the bid process. Mr. Bennett added that although the same contractor will be used, there is a possibility the contractor will utilize different subcontractors. Mr. Bennett stated that he is seeking clear direction from the Board with regard to the parameters and the costs. Interim Town Manager Hennig advised that the project timeline can be met if the Board is able to provide clear direction to Gideon Toal, Inc. tonight. Mr. Bennett advised the Board -that the completed plans will not be available until May 2008. Interim Town Manager Hennig stated that he feels the Board will have more of a level of comfort by mid - February. Mr. Hennig stated that he feels Gideon Toal needs more clarity from the Board with regard to the type of construction. Alderman Corson stated that the construction alternatives and materials still need to be examined. 2. DISCUSS OIL AND GAS WELL DRILLING ORDINANCE. Interim Town Manager Hennig advised that, at the request of the Board staff is reviewing the oil and gas.well drilling ordinance. Mr. Hennig stated that an item to amend the current ordinance could be scheduled for consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission in February and presented to the Board of Aldermen in March. Town of Westlake Board of Aldermen Pre -Board Meeting January 28, 2008 page 4 of 6 Director of Planning and Development Eddie Edwards presented the board with a comparison matrix of the Town's ordinance with neighboring cities. Mr. Edwards advised that he is recommending changes to three (3) areas of the current ordinance: 1) increase in annual permitting and inspection fees: 2) consider requirement of a special use permit (SUP) to allow drilling in other zoning districts; and 3) changes to the setback requirements. Mr. Edwards advised that he would also recommend allowing Board discretion in modifying any requirements on a case by case basis. Mr. Edwards further stated that sound limitations are becoming more common in city ordinances. Aldermen Corson asked if a decibel limitation is recommended. Mr. Edwards responded that he will present recommendations to the Board concerning sound limitations. Aldermen Timmerman asked if the distance requirements would be eliminated if decibel limits are established. Mr. Edwards stated that he would not recommend removing the distant requirements, but would recommend the Board have the authority to modify the distance requirement if the decibel requirement is met. . Mayor Bradley recommended the Board also consider the appearance of the drill site and possible mitigation. Discussion ensued with regard to the industry standard for insurance requirements, potential drill sites based on setback requirements of 600 and 1,000 foot distances, and the potential for setting precedence if concessions are made to the distance requirements on a case by case basis, the need for a road repair agreement, and if drilling equipment should be permitted on neighborhood streets. Aldermen Corson and Maynard requested staff prepare a map identifying potential drill sites based on the proposed distances. The following residents addressed the Board with concerns, suggestions, and questions regarding the discussion: - Mr. Allen Heath, 5944 Stagecoach Circle, Westlake, expressed his concern with setting the distance requirements to high as to prohibit drilling in an entire area. Mr. Heath also raised questions regarding the drilling in flood plains as well as inquired if the hours of operation would be restricted. - Mr. Stephen Thornton, 13187 Thornton Drive, Westlake, expressed his support of a 600 foot distance requirement, and the establishment of a decibel level. Mr. Bill Frey, 5924 Janet Court, Westlake, cautioned the Board against considering an ordinance that is more restrictive than state law, and stated that with the discussion today that he did not feel March was a possibility for adopting a revised ordinance. Town of Westlake Board of Aldermen Pre -Board Meeting January 28, 2008 4. page 5 of 6 Interim Town Manager Hennig advised the Board that staff will continue to evaluate other cities ordinances and prepare a recommendation for the Board's consideration. Mr. Hennig further advised that based on the today's discussion, he did not feel a draft ordinance will be available for consideration by the Board by March. REVIEW OF REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS.
