Executive Session RECORDS SERIES TITLE: Ordinance,Orders,Resolutions SCHEDULE NO.: 1000-05 CONTENTS OF FILE: Resolution No.: 74-13 Title: THD IMPROVEMENTS TO HWY 75 $50,100 ACCEPTS Date: 08-27-74 City Dlanager,.,Jim McAlister, stated that on August 21, 1974, bids were opened for the stated eouipment. Ine bid was received from Cooper Machinery Corp. of Houston in the amount of $5,755. He indicated it was the Dnly company of the four or five companies bidding that would bid the machine and also install it. He recommended the acceptance of this bid. He said the cost of these items had been included in this year's budget to ge paid for out of the street revenue sharing funds. The justification for this recommendation is that the asphalt distributor presently used has a heating capacity carried in the truck, however, when ready to shoot the asphalt 7n the streets, a large tanker truck had to deliver ]lot asphalt to the crew and stand by at a cost of about $5.00-$15.00 per hour until all of the asphalt was transferred from the tanker truck into the asphalt distri- butor truck. He indicated some money could be saved in stand-by time, as the tanker truck could pump the hot asphalt into the heated asphalt tank and be on its way, and the hot asphalt could be kept hot until ready to go on the streets. He said the tank was a 10,000 gallon size and would provide the necessary support needed for street revenue improvement program. Mayor Waller asked if there were any questions.

Such Certificate of Obligation shall be paid from general tax revenues during the term of same.

He said the City and County, in accordance with a plan that is being worked out, are turning the ambulance service over to the Huntsville Memorial Hospital for their management. The City and County, he said, will each furnish one ambulance to the Hospital for their management of the ambulance service. He said the City and County would pick up the deficit. He felt this to be a better fiscal arrangement than that which presently exists.

Larry Dickens, Councilman, requested a solicitor's permit for students of Dr. Cady's Health-Education Class (two graduate students and 15 undergraduates) to conduct a survey within the City to determine information regarding public health needs. Dr. Cady proposed that the survey information be provided to the Quality of Life Commission in the event some data collected would be useful to the Commission's project. This proposal was made before the Quality of Life Commission and they unanimously support the idea and recommend that the solicitor's permit be granted. The survey will be a random sampling of residents of each of the four wards, reported Dr. Dickens.

Curb-Side Paper Bag Collection System for Garbage Jim McAlister, City Manager, presented a memo from the Director of Public Works, Mr. Jerry Hodge, in which he proposed testing the curb-side paper bag collection system in Huntsville through the use of a donated demonstrator machine (for the duration of the test) to pick up the bags and a donated supply of 60 paper bags. The test area proposed was Forest Hills. After the test run is completed, a cost estimate comparison between the two systems, and a survey of resident reaction, its desirability and feasibility will be presented to the Council. Mayor Waller expressed his strong objection to front door garbage pickup as long as the City can afford to continue with the present system. He indicated when previously discussed, many objections were made known to him. He indicated it would not be feasible for older residents or handicapped people to carry their garbage out to the front curb. Mr. Hodge indicated special decals for these people would be placed on their front doors to indicate that their garbage will be picked up from behind the house, at the same costs. Mayor Waller asked that the whole system's financial picture, residential and commercial, be analyzed before any further action is taken.

There is a Lake Livingston Reservoir--though far enough away, the City is at an advantage to be within access of Mr. Colley, City Attorney, indicated the City was paying the standbv rate for outer at around 3C, but the actual cost for treated water is the cost of running the plant itself. Mr. Sparks said the actual cost would be closer to 35-70C per 1000 gallons, treated, and delivered to Huntsville to the water taps. Mayor Waller thanked Mr. Colley, Mr. Sparks, Mr. Janning of TRA, and Mr. Wolfe of First Southwest for their diligent efforts in this negotiation. Councilman Dickens asked about the possibility of selling fertilizer from the new North Huntsville Sewer Plant as a means of producing revenues with which to help meet the City's debt service requirement. Mr. Sparks indicated this is a possibility, however, the costs for adequately producing this fertilizer are almost prohibi- tive and a market had to be guaranteed. He said the City of Houston spends three times more to produce the fertilizer than they can sell it for; however, it is still less expensive to produce fertilizer and sell it than it would be for the City to dispose of it in a landfill operation. The Citv of Huntsville, he said, would not have a large enough quantity to warrant such an operation and disposing of it in a landfill would be the most economical way at this time. Mayor Waller then asked the Council to consider the Resolution indicating substantial agreement with the four contracts. Mr. Colley said the City is a week or two behind schedule and that the draft package of contracts should be to the TWQB this month (September), and that 60-90 days are needed for them to review the total package. He said the City could receive official notice in early January of 1976. He then read the caption of the Resolution: RESOLUTION NO. 75-27 REGARDING PURCHASE OF RAW WATER, PURCHASE OF TREATED WATER, CONSTRUCTION OF TREATED WATER TRANS- PORTATION AND STORAGE FACILITIES AND ASSISTANCE IN FINANCING THE CONSTRUCTION OF SANITARY SEWERAGE FACILITIES FOR THE CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS BY THE TRINITY RIVER AUTHORITY OF TEXAS. Councilman Davis moved to accept the Resolution agreeing to enter into the four contracts upon acceptance by the Authority and other agencies of the State of Texas. Councilman Corley seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed. Ambulance Service Contract--Draft Copy Mr. Martin Colley indicated the contract recites that it is an agreement entered into by the County, City, and the Huntsville Memorial Hospital, and it provides that the City and County are recognizing their mutual obligation to provide for the health and welfare of the public by providing for emergency ambulance services. He said under provisions of the Interlocal Cooperation Act, the City and County wish to enter into a contract to create an Administrative Agency for management. He said this entity will be for the City and County to work through for funding purposes and that agency in turn can work with the hospital authority to furnish the services needed. He said the Agency will be called: The Huntsville-Walker County Emergency Medical Service. The Agency, said Mr. Colley, will be responsible for meeting the needs, employ personnel, maintain books of account, establish reasonable rates for rendering the service, institute billing and collection procedures, furnish regular accounting to the r;t., ani r,,..,,«..

WHEREAS, it appears to this governing body that a non-profit corporation should be formed to assist in the financing of industrial development projects., that the promotion and development of new and expanded industrial and manufacturing enterprises would be to the best interests of the City and its inhabitants, and that a non-profit corporation organized for the purposes aforemen- tioned would be in the interest of the general public and the same would serve a public purpose. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Huntsville, Texas, Section One: Messers Boley O'Bannon, Don Moore and Chester Powell, are hereby requested to form and create a non-profit corporation to be known as the Industrial Develonment Council of East Texas, in order that such corporation may render financial and other assistance to the manufacturing and industrial development of the corporation, when created, render aid and financial assistance to manu- facturing and industrial enterprises situated or to be situated in the area of Huntsville, and induce the location-in said Citv and vicinity of other manufacturing and industrial establishments. Section Two: It is the purpose and intent of this Resolution to encourage the industrial development of the area but in no event should the same be accomplished through the expenditure of public funds under the custody or control of this governing body. The non-profit corporation, when formed, shall not be entitled to receive any funds of the City, raised or to be raised by taxation, nor shall such corporation receive any other revenues from any presently existing revenue sources of the City. Mr. Colley then opened the meeting for discussion of this Resolution. Councilman Dickens asked Mr. Colley if the City has an "out" from this arrangement should it be determined that some adverse effect, yet unknown, were to come about. Mr. Colley indicated this would be a "moot" point because the reason the City is involved to begin with is to get through the IRS and issue the bonds. He said once the bonds are issued, and the indentures are all signed, any adverse effect that he refers to would have already come about. The City has agreed to accept the property. He said the City could in some way reject the remainder interest that they would have, but he didn't feel this would be in the public interest when one has a grant that in X number of years the City is going to hold in fee a particular piece of property. Mr. Colley indicated the only adverse effect it could have is if it defaulted and the City is already involved, so to withdraw at that time would be "too late." , Mr. Colley said the City is not part of the corporation and the City would have nothing to do with disbanding the corporation. He.said perhaps the City could withdraw its support, but he asked "what effect would this have on bonds that were already issued?" He said if the city is the remainder man on the property and if the bonds are defaulted, and there is a foreclosure, they would cut off the remainder man (City) anyway. He said bond holders would be entitled to any proceeds and benefits. Once this corporation is created and "Off the ground," the City has nothing to do with it. Mr. Colley indicated it is impossible for the City to become involved in any financial way in this corporation the way the instruments are drawn--it simply can't be done, he said.

Past accounts from previous customers at the same location, or accounts of a comparable usage factor, may be used by the Manager of Utilities in arriving at the estimated monthly charge for determining the amount of deposit or bond. (2) Upon the sale or transfer of property, or change in customer or occupancy of any premises served by City Water Service, no water service shall be furnished to the new owner, customer, or occupant of such premises being served by Water Service unless and until such deposit as required by this Resolution is paid. Any person, firm or corporation who fails to notify the City of Huntsville of a change in ownership, title or occupancy of premises resulting in a different person or entity having responsibility for the payment of water charges shall be subject to immediate discontinuance of water service unless and until the previous customers account is finalized and the deposit called for herein is made. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the emergency nature of the problem relating to unpaid water accounts due to insufficient deposits is such that the policy announced by this Resolution shall take effect from and after its passage.

Council- man Amick requested that the effectiveness of the Ordinance be brought up for review in six months. All were in favor of this six month review and the City?tanager was directed to note this on his calendar for January of 1977. (Ordinance No. 76-10) CONSIDER A RESOLUTION TO ACQUIRE A 59 DAY NOTE FOR $69,070 FOR INTERIM FUNDING OF SOUTH PLANT LINES--MOORE CONTRACT Jim McAlister, City Manager, said at this time $86,170 was due Moore Construction Company for the work that has been completed to date; although there are still some pending change orders, the work is substantially_ complete. The engineer recommends payment to Moore Construction Companv. However, Mr. McAlister said, the Federal government has not yet passed through our share of the retainage they are holding which is our money, so this will be an interim loan which will allow us to pay the contractor until: a) the Federal government pays us the retainage they're holding, or (b) in approximately 59 days a certificate of deposit will mature and we will have sufficient funds at that time to pay off this note. McAlister noted total expenditure to date was $1,164,791 and paid to date is $1,075,538. Amount presently held in retainage, he said, is $86,170. He said two change orders are pending which will allow for the instal- lation of the flow measuring devices on the lines, to cost approximately $29,600. He said the liquidated damages which could be applied to the contract is in the amount of $17,500±. He said $30,000 was paid to Mr. Moore on July 9 and he recommended paying an additional $39,070. He indicated the amount which needs to be borrowed then is the amount already paid ($30,000), plus the $39,070 being recommended for payment, for a total of $69,070, borrowed at the rate of 5.49 percent, the low bid from First National Bank. Although he was not recommending invoking the liquidated damages, he asked that it should be retained until the contract is com- pleted and then the Council can make a determination at that time. It was noted the first $30,000 paid Moore was done so via an interfund loan and the note would include this amount to reimburse the fund from which it was borrowed. Councilman Davis moved to authorize the Mayor to execute a note in the amount of $69,070 to be payable in 59 days from proceeds of a certificate of deposit maturing at that time or from payment of the final retainage by the Environmental Protection Agency on the South Huntsville Sewer Project. Councilman Moore seconded the the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously.

Councilman Parker moved to have the landscaping done in-house according to the landscaping plan outlined. Councilman Dickens seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. $250,000 Community Development Grant Received Jim McAlister, City Manager, indicated a telegram from the office of Senator John Tower notified the Citv that they had been awarded the $250,000 grant for community development for 1976-1977. He said last year, $200,000 was received on this grant which allowed for Town Branch drainage improvements, Avenue C drainage improvements, Thomason Street improvements, Ninth and Tenth Street sidewalk improvements. He said the new $250,000 grant will be used to rebuild the street drainage crossing on Seventh Street at Town Branch and channelize and shape Town Branch between Seventh and Tenth Streets. Councilman Davis asked the City staff to provide the list of projects originally presented in the application for the Phase II grant monies.

MAYOR'S SECTION--MORRIS I. WALLER Consider Resolution of Commendation to Parks Board Mayor Waller presented the resolution of the board members, which was to the effect that thev felt they had performed the essential function of their creation in supervising the additions to the City of Huntsville in the park facilities and that perhaps their usefulness had been served. He said it was their feeling that the City had an adequate Parks Department which could perhaps address the Parks'needs in administering the programs and develop further its funds. He said the Board voted to dissolve the Parks Board and he then read Resolution 76-8 which commended the work of all those citizens of Huntsville who actively served on the Parks. and Recreation Board. RECORDS SERIES TITLE: Ordinance,Orders,Resolutions SCHEDULE NO.: 1000-05 CONTENTS OF FILE: Resolution No.: 76-09 Title: APPOINTS DON KRAEMER ASST. CITY ATTNY. Date: 08-10-76 Mr. Davis indicated the maximum time that can be granted in a telecommunications system is 15 years, and that is :chat Telecable, Inc. was asking for at this time. He said any time less than 15 years would serve to hamper the borrowing power and the contractual power of the corporation itself, and the 15 year term is asked for here strictly as an economical matter in.helping Telecable, Inc. to get a favorable interest rate at the bank or lending institution. The longer term would also allow the company to keep their operating costs down. Mr. Davis indicated the deposit would no longer be required and that a one time charge for connection only of $15 would be made. He said the monthly charge for an additional outlet will increase from $1 a month to $1.30. He said that although Telecable still has five years left on their previous 20 year contract, the FCC has required Telecable, Inc. to rewrite their contract in order to become certified by the FCC. The City will receive 4 percent of the gross revenues from Telecable, Inc. until March 31, 1977, said Mr. Davis, at which time FCC says they can no longer do this unless and until the City has it approved from the 3 to the 4 percent with FCC. Mr. Crawford Scott said the Citv received $13,000 this year, which represents 4 percent. Councilman Parker moved to accept the Franchise ordinance as drafted and recommended by the City Attorney and Councilman Moore seconded the motion with the stipulation that someone, between now and next March, come up with a good reason as to why we should retain our 4 percent. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. Mayor Waller asked the City Manager to contact the Federal Communications Commission in regard to a 4 per- cent instead of a 3 percent franchise tax. Mayor S•7aller noted the Franchise will not become effective until FCC also approves it. Consider a Resolution Appointing the City Prosecutor/Assistant City Attorney Mr. Haney asked the Council to consider appointing Mr. Don Kraemer as an Assistant City Attorney as well as City Prosecutor. Councilman Corley moved to adopt this Resolution appointing Mr. Don Kraemer as the Assistant City Attorney and Councilwoman King seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS--J. H.

He said this will have no effect on a residence or business that has one meter, however, it will have an effect on an apartment complex that has one meter, but serves 32 units. He said sewer rates will also increase ' approximately 2.2 percent if these rates are adopted by the Council. Consider an Ordinance Prohibiting the Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages in City Parks Mr. Haney then read this ordinance to the Council, the caption of which is as follows: ORDINANCE NO. 76-17 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 3A OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS, BY ADDING A NEW SECTION TO BE NUMBERED SECTION 3-A-3, PROHIBITING THE POSSESSION OR CONSUMPTION OF ANY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE ON ANY REAL ESTATE MAINTAINED OR OPERATED BY THE CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS, AS A PARK OR RECREATIONAL AREA, PROVIDING A PENALTY FOR VIOLATION OF SUCH ORDINANCE, AND CONTAIN- ING OTHER PROVISIONS AS THEREIN SET FORTH. Mr. Haney indicated this would exclude the City Hall and Fire Stations and other City buildings not used as recreation and park areas. He said the penalty for violation would be the same as set out in Section 1-8 of the Code of Ordinances, a Class C Misdemeanor and shall be punishable as provided therein. Councilman Amick moved to adopt the ordinance and Councilman.Dickens seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Mayor Waller indicated the appropriate signs will be posted to indicate this new ordinance is in effect at the places specified.

He said no ordinance accompanied this motion and it is now being drafted in ordinance form for passage, to be effective back to its original date of motion to do so. It can then be incorporated into the Code of Ordin- ances through the codification procedures. He said this ordinance also amends the penalty provided in the 1969 Plumbing Code from a fine not to exceed $100 per day to a fine not to exceed $200 per day, or the same penalty as appears in Section 1-8 of the Code. No file page RESOLUTION NO. 76-13 WHEREAS, Chapter 17, Section 17-9 and 17-21 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Huntsville, Texas, authorizes the City Council from time to time to establish rates for water and sewer service, respectively, furnished by the said City; and WHEREAS, the City of Huntsville has recently contracted with the Trinity River Authority of Texas for surface water from its Lake Livingston Reservoir, and must now increase its revenue from the sale of water to pay the debt service requirement on the $6.5 million issue over the next 30 years; and WHEREAS, the City has determined it has three broad categories of users defined as Texas Department of Corrections, Sam Houston State University and all other consumers classified as "City customers," and the State institutions rates were raised last year and will be further adjusted with their next legislative budget request in 1977, and the below stated rates for water and sewer are limited to the "City customers" category only; NOW THEREFORE, Be It Resolved that the City Council hereby adopt the following rates for water and sewer customers to be effective, Monday, October 18, 1976: WATER RATES Consumption schedule Old Rates To from New Rate First: 3,000 gallons (Minimum) $1.75 $3.50 Next: 7,000 gallons, per 1,000 $ .68 $ .59 Next: 10,000 gallons, per 1,000 $ .57 $ .59 Next: 30,000 gallons, per 1,000 $ .44 $ .59 Next: 200,000 gallons, per 1,000 $ .39 $ .59 All over 250,000 gallons, per 1,000 $ .34 $ .59 Charges shall be on a "per unit" basis rather than a per meter basis.

All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. Consider Resolution Approving the TRA Bonds--Resolution No. 76-14 Mr. Dennis Baker of the Trinity River Authority introduced Mr. Tom Wolf, Financial Advisor for TRA with the First Southwest Company. Mr. Wolf discussed the financial arrangements of the project for surface water and noted the City would be paying interest on the $6.5 million dollars at 4.35 percent over a 30 year period. He indicated the money will not be idle until needed but will be "prudently" invested to the City's advantage with- out danger of involving the City in "arbitrage." Mayor Waller then asked the City Attorney to present the Resolution. Mr. Haney indicated he has read and recommends approval of the Resolution by the TRINITY RIVER AUTHORITY OF TEXAS AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF TRINITY RIVER AUTHORITY OF TEXAS CONTRACT REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 1976 (HUNTSVILLE REGIONAL WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM PROJECT), $6,500,000, and the Certificate for Resolution Authoriz- ing Bond Resolution. Councilman Parker moved to adopt the Resolution No. 76-14 and Councilman Corley seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. Mayor Waller felt this was a momentous occasion in the long range water supply quest in that it is the last legal step before the sale of the bonds and the beginning of the construction of the plant and transmission lines. Mr. Wolf reminded the Council that they had originally gone to the Water Development Board to ask for $6.8 million; they only received $6.5, but he said $300,000 is available as a completion bond, if needed, and is programmed into the repayment schedule. Mayor Waller said this $300,000 is basically for the storage tank facilities, which the TWDB did not consider a viable part of the project, so if it becomes necessary to issue the $300,000, it will be TRA bonds, but the interest rate will be in the 7 percent (market rate) range rather than the 4.35 percent. Mr. Dennis Baker said the money would be delivered in about 3 to 6 weeks, however, they did not yet have a sale date for the bonds. He said the engineering will take approximately one year and 18 months are set aside for construction. He said the delivery of surface water is still set for May of 1979. Resolution Supporting the Governor's Highway Program Mr. Haney then presented a Resolution to the Honorable Dolph Briscoe, Governor of Texas, urging all citi- zens to support his program designed to provide adequate financing for highway purposes. He said this resolution is particularly of interest here because monies have been requested to complete Loop 405 around Huntsville. Councilman Corley moved to adopt the Resolution and Councilman Amick, seconded the motion. Councilman Dickens raised the question as to whether anyone really knew what the Governor's program entailed. No one seemed to know exactly. Mayor Waller said he knew that he had recommended the transfer of some $700 million into the highway fund from the general fund. Councilman Parker questioned this, wanting to know if this transfer would be at the expense of other necessary programs. Councilman Dickens felt there may be other ways to finance highway programs, not at the expense of other programs in the general fund, and he indicated he was not prepared to vote for the Governor's program.

BUSINESS OF THE CITY ATTORNEY--JACK HANEY Consider Resolution No. 76-17 authorizing execution of Grant Agreement with the Texas Aeronautics Commission for the airport development project Jack Haney then presented the Resolution No. 76-18 resolving to enter into a Grant Agreement with the Texas Aeronautics Commission by accepting the Grant Offer for TAC Project No. 772-07, dated October 29, 1976, in the amount of $5,000. Jim McAlister, City Manager, advised the Council that the Texas Aeronautics Commission does not take part in any cost overruns in a project, but instead they offer an entire new grant. He said they are offering to us, for these overruns in the airport development project, $5,000, and we will match that amount wit funds that are available,to be qualified to receive these funds. He said these funds are to complete the recon- struction of the apron, taxiway and runway. He said the City must make every reasonable attempt to complete Phase I of this project by January 1, 1977. He said this grant brings the total participation from TAC up to $55,000. Jim McAlister indicated the total cost overruns at this time approximate $40,000+. Jim Hudgens indicated a 10 percent grant increase from the Federal Aviation Administration in the amount of $37,000 is also expected, along with this $5,000 grant from the TAC. Jim Hudgens indicated the cost overruns resulted from a change order in the amount of $15,000+ for additional work just on the apron itself, along with other cost overruns. He said also that some overruns were experienced because when the contractor bid on the contract, he bid on a unit pric basis, based on engineering estimates; subsequently, the material used exceeded the engineering estimate which resulted in the cost overrun. Councilman Dickens moved to accept the Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the grant agreeme with TAC for the additional $5,000 and Councilman Parker seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously.

A related note, Mayor Waller indicated the ELMUD Board has decided that the capacity for lift station 2-2 near the post office is sufficient for ELMUD use until 1990 in accordance with their calculations. Therefore, he said, they would decline to participate in the expansion of that lift station at this time and undertake full responsibility for it at the time that expansion is necessary. Mayor Waller noted that the participation percentage on behalf of the ELBfUD District is 14.78 percent according to the full capacity of that lift station and their amount is $5,787. Since the City of Huntsville is undertaking to provide full expansion of that lift station for its use in excess of the period to 1990, he recommended to the Council that they approve this contract subject only to ELIUD's participation so that the full capacity of that lift station is provided for now by both parties and that the discussion won't come up in 1990 of who will pay for what when where and how. He assumed the City will take final action on this in the next council meeting when the final contract will be discussed once again. CONSIDER RESOLUTION ACCEPTING PROVISIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION ON 16TH STREET FROM SYCAMORE STREET TO LOOP 405 Mayor Waller then presented Resolution No. 77-6 to the Council. This Resolution accepts the provisions of the State Highway and Public Transportation Commission Minute Order No. 72212 passed by the State Highway and Public Transportation Commission on January 20, 1977 for the improvement by the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation on the roads described below and the City of Huntsville agrees to furnish all required right-of-way clear of obstructions and free of cost to the State: "Construction on 16th Street from Sycamore Street to Loop 405, a distance of approximately 0.7 mile." Councilman Moore moved to adopt the Resolution and Councilwoman King seconded the motion. all were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. Ir. McAlister noted the specifications of the State Highway Department are not the same as those required of the City for a City street; their standards being less than the City's, but sufficient for the funds that are available. Councilman Parker then noted that if the State Highway Department can change their specifications to meet needs and funds in the area of street construction, then perhaps they can also modify their warrants for signalication and reconsider the placement of a signal at Normal Park on 11th Street. Councilman Dickens indi- cated this is a serious question and the City does want a signal at 11th and Normal Park, and perhaps this is a way to get at it. Councilman McGlothen indicated while considering this proposal, to include the request for a signal at Avenue F and 11th Street also. Mayor Waller asked Mr. McAlister to look into this possibility. Ir. McAlister indicated he would give it his "best shot." CONSIDER BIDS ON ROOF REPAIR ON FIRE STATION NO. 2 Mr. McAlister then presented the three bids received on the repair of the roof as follows: Hardy Lumber Company $2,495.00 including deck repair Henry Coleman Home Remodeling $2,158.26 including deck repair J.

Moore of Bryan, Brazos County, Texas, became for the first time the State Senatorial Representative for the people of Walker County although he had represented other counties most ably in the Texas Senate for some years prior to said dates; and, WHEREAS, during the ten years that have passed, the Honorable William T.

Moore to the economic and sociological life of this commun- ity has once more proven invaluable by his appearance in behalf of the citizens of this community and of the State of Texas before the Co- ordinating Board, Texas College and University System to urge that appointed body to act in the best interest of all the people of Texas and existing State institutions, such as Sam Houston State University, by declining to endorse the creation of a University of Houston, Woodlands Campus, in Northern Harris and Southern Montgomery Counties, Texas, even though such project had received great support and publi- city by persons of political and public eminence in the City of Houston, Texas; and, WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Huntsville, Texas, fee that the appearance of the Honorable William T.

Edwards, III, a resident of Conroe, Montgomery County, Texas, is the Legislative Representative for the Eighteenth Legislative District of the State of Texas com- prising Walker and Montgomery Counties, Texas, and has so served in such capacity for two prior terms; and, WHEREAS, the said Jimmie C. Edwards, III, has in said prior terms of office served the people of Huntsville and Walker County, Texas, in a most favorable and outstanding manner by insuring that the citizens of this community be heard in the day to day activities of State governmental matters which have a continuing daily impact on the economic and sociological environment of Huntsville and Walker County by virtue of the agencies of the State government permanently located in this community, including Sam Houston State University and administrative and other units of the Texas Depart- ment of Corrections plus insuring that the overall operation and function of State government is administered in the best interest of all of the people of the State of Texas, including those citizens of the Eighteenth Legislative District; and, WHEREAS, the said Jimmie C. Edwards, III, is now beginning his third legislative term in the Texas House of Representatives and has once more demonstrated his high regard for principle and integrity by appearing before the Coordinating Board, Texas College and Uni- versity System at a regularly constituted meeting of said Board in Austin, Texas, and asking that that appointive body consider the best interest of all universities and colleges in the State of Texas, and therefore the people of the State of Texas, in recognizing the lack of need at this time for the creation of a Woodlands Campus of the University of Houston. Such conduct on the part of the Honorable Jimmie C. Edwards, III, was true professionalism in the representativ sense and was indeed, a decision for the benefit of all the people in Texas and in particular the citizens and economy of Walker County, Texas, by virtue of the possible damaging influence and additional university level educational institution at such location would have on Sam Houston State University. This decision, while benefiting the people of Texas and Walker County, was in all probability con- trary to the wishes of some constituents whose own personal interes in Montgomery County, Texas, would have better been served by the establishment of such additional institution; and, WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Huntsville, Texas, recognizes that the courageous stand of the Honorable Jimmie C. Edwar III, was instrumental in the resulting decision of the Coordinating Board, Texas College and University System and that official recog- nition of the service performed by Representative Edwards to the citizens of this area should be acknowledged, NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY O HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS, that the Honorable Jimmie C.

CONN IDER A RESOLUTION FOR THE TRA WALLISVILLE PROJECT Grady Tanis, Jr. of t..; Trinity River Authority's local office presented a brief introduction to Resolution No. 77-23, which, is ;,assed by the Huntsville Council, would express their feeling to urge the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to resume construction of the IVallisville Salt-(Vater Barrier and Lake Project as soon as possible. Mr. Manis indicated tilts 7 year project was stopped three years ago by a court order to allow for a restudy of the environmental sssossment of the Wallisville Project. Fie indicated the reassessment revealed that Alternate 2A, which would inundate less of the marsh area near the mouth of the river, would be more appropriate for the salt-water barrier that was proposed at the mouth of-the river. He said this would affect Huntsville in that lie are currently rele:ising some thousand cubic feet per second of water from Lake Livingston for the control of salt water. He said this would lower the lake level and, in the new water plant, conceivably cause more pumping costs. Mayor Waller indicated he attended the Wallisville Hearing of the Corps of Engineers on December 10. Fie said of the seven different plans presented, Plan 2A received the most support as it is for a 5,600 acre reservoir instead of a 19,700 acre reservoir. He said this plan had the endorsement of Senators Tower, Bentsen, Congressman Eckhart, Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, Congressman Brooks and Charles Wilson. He said the Shrimp Association of Texas also voiced their support of Plan 2.A. Fie indicated those in opposition were the Sierra Club, the Audubon Society and COST. Mayor Waller indicated lie is in support of Plan 2A. Councilman Parker moved the adoption of the Resolution No. 7;-23 as presented. Councilman Corley seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously.

He said the $1,300,000 was originally voted by the citizens to be used for the North Huntsville Sewer Plant. Now, lie said,it becomes necessary to use the unexpended $1,200,000 still remaining from that 1974 issue for the lateral sewer line development, rather than for the North Huntsville Sewer Plant. This proposition is now going back to the voters so that they may reauthorize these funds remaining for the added purpose of the lateral sewer lines, which are still a part of the North Huntsville Sewer System, however, this specific, de- scriptive wording was not included in the 1974 bond issue language. Councilman Parker suggested making Proposition 4 the first proposition rather than the fourth. Mayor Waller indicated in taking this suggestion into account, the sequence of propositions would be evaluated as it relates to interrupting the timetable set up. Councilman Parker moved to adopt the Resolution (No. 78-2) calling the Bond Election for March 7, 1978 and Councilwoman King seconded the motion.

Councilman Corley wished to clarify that all improvements would be of a portable nature. It was found that I they would be portable. He said too that when this letter agreement is forwarded, the City should strongly mention the City's desire for a longer than 60 days vacancy clause. Councilman Dickens recommended that improvements beyond cleaning the lot be discussed with the Council. He ! said it was his conception that the park would not necessarily be turned into a playground. He felt it was a calculated risk, however it is also an innovative idea that he wished the Council would pursue. He commended the Administration for following up on the project. He felt this lot would enhance the downtown beauty of Hunts- ville. Councilman McGlothen felt the City should be more specific on the time it could be used as a City park to recoup its efforts in its cleaning and preparation. Mayor Waller indicated as the Executor of the estate of John Henry Rather, Mr. Powell has the duty to pre- serve, protect and defend and administer the property of the estate in a businesslike manner for the benefit of the beneficiaries to the extent as if they were living themselves. He said, in so doing, it is not possible for him in his present capacity to make any binding commitments without an extensive power to do so. He is merely granting an agreement to use this lot so longasit isnotbeing used for any constructive purpose by the estate. He said that has been an indefinite length of time in the past and it may be an indefinite period of time in the future. He said he felt this agreement protects the city to the maximum extent possible under the circumstances and would encourage the estate and beneficiaries to be generous in their appraisal of the situation. Councilman Dickens indicated his conception for the use of this property would be to develop something there that would be aesthetically pleasing to the downtown area of Huntsville. He said he would not favor spending a creat amount of money. Mayor Waller asked for the consensus of the Council in this regard and it was a unanimous decision on the part of the Council to pursue this park through the contract with Mr. Ben Powell, Jr. THE ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS--GENE PIPES Consider Resolution Designating Assistant City Manager as the sionatory aqent for EPA Grants Mr. Gene Pipes indicated in the visits between the City and EPA in Dallas over the past week regarding the status of the grant for the new North Huntsville Sewer Plant, it was learned we needed to change our designated representative from Mr. McAlister to himself for the purpose of expediting the grant approval. He then presented Resolution No. 79-12 for that purpose. Councilman Brown moved to adopt Resolution No. 79-12 and Councilman Corley seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously.

Gene Pipes, ,Acting City Manager, indicated Mr. Pat DePamphilis of Wisenbaker, Fix and Associates, reviewed very carefully all factors related to the bidding and has worked very closely with EPA. He said it was determined that the low bidder on both the plant and the lines had failed at the time of the bid opening, to comply with the minority business enterprise facet.

CONSIDER ORDINANCE NO. 80-6 AND RESOLUTION NO. 80-4 AMENDING THE SANITATION RATES FOR COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL Acting City Manager presented the information prepared by the staff and indicated the Council may wish to study the rates in the next worksession before taking formal action. He indicated the City would like to be able to adjust rates from time to time by resolution of the Council and the ordinance prepared would remove specific references to rates and add a section which allows for the revision of rates by resolution of the Council. Mayor Waller agreed that the Council needed to review the rates in more detail in the next worksession of the Council --(larch 4, 1980. Mayor Waller particularly requested a good analysis of the rates for non-city users. CONSIDER RESOLUTION NO. 80-4 RECOGNIZING SUB-MUNICIPAL REGULATORY POWER IN CITY'S ETJ Acting City Manager indicated Elkins Lake MUD reviews all plats and permits for building at Elkins Lake and he said at one time the City was doing the same thing, duplicating Elkins Lake's efforts. He said this Resolu- tion will recognize and accept the ability of sub-municipal legal entities to provide primary regulatory services to the public whenever it is determined by the officials of the City that such regulations are comparable to those approved for the City. He said it in no way means the City transfers or rejects its ultimate authority in the area within the ETJ. Councilman Brown moved to adopt the Resolution and Councilmember King seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Dowling asked if there was any way an individual could build a house at Elkins Lake and pass Elkins' specifications but not pass the City's specifications. Mr. Pipes indicated not at the present time and following the current practice. He said they (Elkins) were equally as rigid in every respect as the City's permit procedures and building inspections. Councilmember Dowling felt this is something the City would have to periodically monitor. Gene Pipes agreed it would most definitely be mandated to maintain regulations. It was noted the resolution was adopted retroactive to January 1, 1980. (See News Media question related to this action at end of these minutes.) CONSIDER BIDS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PURCHASE OF A TE1PORARY ANNEX FACILITY FOR THE POLICE DIVISION Acting City (•tanager, Gene Pipes, indicated the City was somewhat surprised at the two bids received for the temporary annex for the Police Department to relieve the overcrowded conditions that have been much discussed. He said the two bids both exceeded $40,000. He said the plans and specifications have been re-analyzed and there are now a number of ways the City feels it can reduce the costs. He asked the Council to reject the two bids received and authorize the City to amend the specifications and rebid the project on a more limited scale. Councilmember King moved to reject the bids and go back to the drawing board and Councilmember Hodges seconded'. the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously.

He then asked the Council for their ratification of this resolution before TRA could consumate the sale of these bonds to the hater Develop- ment Board. Mr. Baker indicated the resolution provides for the sale of S1.6 million over a 26 year term maturing in the year 2006 at an interest rate of 5.6 percent.

All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. Mayor Waller indicated these bonds are related to the trunk lines and the North Huntsville Sewer Plant itself. He said the collection lines for that plant are another subject which the Water Development Board did not approve. He then asked Mr. Boyd London of First Southwest Company to speak to that subject. BOYD LONDON OF FIRST SOUTHWEST COMPANY TO REVIEW SALE OF BONDS j Mr. London indicated that since First Southwest Company was not able to obtain approval of the entire loan amount, the TRA is requesting Council's permission to enter the open market to sell these bonds in a competitive sale and needs this permission prior to the Authority's April board meeting. He said TRA would be selling the $2+ million for the construction amount on the collection system, plus any expenses of bond sale, plus any reserve fund and any capitalized interest that the City cares to include.

Councilmember King moved to authorize the payment of architectural fees to Lockwood Andrews & Newnam's architectural division through certificates of obligation over a four year period at the current market rate and Councilmember Monday seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. RESOLUTION NO. 80-17 Settlement of Maryland American General Indemnity Company Lawsuit With the introduction of this topic by Mr. Scott Bounds, City Attorney, the Council then adjourned into Executive Session to discuss this legal situation. Upon reconvening in ten minutes, Mr. Bounds then presented this Resolution which would authorize settlement of the lawsuit, American General Fire and Casualty, over construction of sanitary sewer line for a sum not to exceed 55,000, and providing for the effective date. Mayor ,Waller indicated the City does not believe it owes this amount, however, it is willing to settle this suit for a sum not to exceed this amount of money in order to resolve the matter and avoid further court costs. He said this Resolution would accomplish this end. Councilmember Corley moved to adopt Resolution No. 80-17, which funds would come from !dater and Sewer Contingency Fund, and Councilmember King seconded the motion. All .were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. APPROVAL--PROCEDURE ON PROTEST OF ANGLETON GENERAL MECHANICAL, IMC. Mr. Scott Bounds, City Attorney, indicated this item was posted on an Emergency Meeting Agenda and dis- played at 2:45 P.M. this date. He indicated the protest was received after the regular agenda was posted and that the EPA guidelines and regulations establish deadlines relating to funding of sanitary sewer facilities requiring immediate action and for this reason, this item is being handled in this emergency fashion. He indicated the Council needs to consider the procedure for determining protest of.the award of the sewer plant contract by Angleton General Mechanical, Inc. He indicated he received this protest document on May 23, 1980. Mr. Bounds advised the Council of the EPA requirements and the suggested procedure. Mayor Waller suggested next Monday, June 2, 1980 at 4:30 P.M. as the time for the hearing to receive additional testimony and facts. He then appointed the following committee of councilmembers to preside over the hearing: Councilmembers Monday. Brown Kino and himself. Councilmember Dickens moved to accept the Mayor's RECORDS SERIES TITLE: Ordinance,Orders,Resolutions SCHEDULE NO.: 1000-05 CONTENTS OF FILE: Resolution No.: 80-18 Title: RE-WARDS NHSP BID TO BRYAN CONSTR. Date: 06-10-80 indicated it appears there will be approximately a ,� increase any way we go. He said this is substantially more than anticipated. Councilmember Dickens asked that the Council consider some of the additional alterna- tives. He said the proposed rates are excessive. Councilmember Monday asked to see those alternatives broken down specifically to show the impact that alternative will have on the institutions and out of city versus that of the individual household, on all of the three alternate plans. Mayor Waller noted a ,page similar to the last page--regarding Comparison of Monthly Utility Bills--also should be compiled for each alternative. Council- member King asked for a comparison of these rates with other cities to relate the new rates with the increases elsewhere. Mayor Waller asked that this comparison be made with other cities who have at least some surface water. Mayor Waller also asked for some of the rate projections that were made several years ago with regard to this project--final rates in order to complete the project. He indicated although we all knew we had another rate increase coming, but that increase, he said, in his judgement was approximately 20% and this one is about 50%. Mr. Waller indicated Mr. Willis computed 51.2 million in sewer bonds amortization and he said they are not going to be that much. Mr. McGuire indicated the bid was $1.224 million and the projected cost for construction only was $1.480 million, and you have engineering, capitalized interest, reserve fund, etc. Mr. Waller said about $2 million appeared to be the gross fund requirement for that issue rather than $2.7 million. Mr. McGuire indicated we learned this a week ago. Mr. Waller indicated he would be interested to know what rate was used regarding the $2.7 million dollars to compute the debt service requirement. Mr. McGuire indicated Mr. Willis was using 10°x. He said bids will be taken the 25th of June on the sale of those bonds. Mr. Waller indicated this is an area of adjustment to get the rate more accurate. Councilman McGlothen reminded the Council of the fact that the institutions will need some time to plug this new increase into their budgets. The Council agreed to give the institutions this consideration, although they felt they had been advised of an upcoming increase some time ago. Pending further study and calculation of these rates then, the Council moved on to the next topic. RESOLUTION NO. 80-18--CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT North Huntsville (Parker Creek) Sewer Plant Mayor Waller then asked Councilman Brown to report on the subcommittee's recommendation on the protest appeal of Angleton General Mechanical, Inc. Councilmember Brown indicated the subcommittee met at 6:30 P.M. on this date and reviewed the response in writing made to the hearing held last Thursday from Mr. Richardson attorney for AGM, Inc. He said the subcommittee could find no substantive additions to the material that was presented last week. He said the subcommittee voted unanimously to recommend to the entire Council that the earlier action awarding this contract to Bryan Construction Company, Inc. be sustained.

All were in favor of the motion and it passed unanimously. Jerry McGuire, City Manager, noted the work has been completed, the bill submitted and payment is now in order. He indicated also that the City received an interest rate which is 1.1% less because it waited until now to process the certificate of obligation. It was noted the interest rate is 8 percent. RESOLUTION--IPA GRANT Mr. McGuire, City Manager, indicated he has received numerous requests for re-evaluation and reclassifica- tion of positions from various departmental directors. He indicated the present payscale and classification system seemed to him to be unbalanced and indicated there were some 90 separate classifications in the pay plan for the 165 city employees which he felt needed to be reduced down to no more than one-third of that. He indicated the City has not kept current with its cl.assification system for each and every job, stating those existing are basically antiquated. He felt the solution to resolve the overall problem would be to acquire a specialist through a grant through the State Government's Intergovernmental Personnel Act to come in to take an indepth look and put it in the proper perspective. He felt this job could be accomplished in 8-10 weeks after approval of the grant which may take some 30 days. He indicated the job should be completed prior to the next budget year. Mr. McGuire indicated the in-kind contribution would be the time of the employees in a written and oral interview process to document the various job requirements and some printing and xeroxing costs. The grant request is for a maximum of 510,500, he said. The Resolution was then presented for Council action, the caption of which is as follows: RESOLUTION NO. 80-18 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL-OF THE CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING APPLICATION FOR AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL PERSONNEL ACT GRANT TO DEVELOP A. PERSONNEL CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION PLAN; MAKING VARIOUS PROVISIONS RELATED THERETO. Councilmember Corley moved to adopt the Resolution No. 80-19 and Councilmember Dickens seconded the motion.

RESOLUTION--REVENUE BONDS Resolution No. 80-21 Authorizing the Issuance of TRA of Texas Contract Revenue Bonds, Series 1980-A (Sewer Project Mr. Boyd London of First Southwest Company, financial advisors of the TRA, noted the Councilmembers' trip to New York netted a bond rating for the City of BAA-1 from Moody's and A- from Standard & Poors. He indicated the rating is what he expected as the City has a lot of debt over a short period of time and it will have to re-establish its track record. He noted the 52,700,000 TRA of Texas Revenue Bonds, Series 1980-A would be sold on Wednesday, June 25, 1980 and he indicated the interest rate would be under 8P,. Mr. Pipes indicated the bid on this project was 51.7 million plus engineering and contingency. Mr. London indicated any funds we have left over in the construction fund will flow to the interest and sinking fund, which will reduce the payments the city will have to make until those funds are exhausted. Mr. London indicated TRA will escrow 20 months worth of interest (to 1-10-82) and will keep and invest these funds which will be some 5200,000 to 5300,000. He anticipated 5296,000 will go into the reserve fund, 3% will be for fees (581,000 in fees), and $1,999,000 will go the construction fund. If any of these figures are less, he said, they will be transferred to the construction fund. Councilmember Brown moved to adopt Resolution No. 80-21 and Councilmember Monday seconded the motion.

It was noted the project should be completed by September 1 as the bid stated a 90 day construction time. EMERGENCY ITEMS Resolution--Joint City-State Improvement of Moffitt-Springs Road West of I-45 Mayor Waller noted this road is behind Walker Byrd Building Materials Company and connects the Interstate 45 feeder road with Highway 75 North and provides the only paved entrance to that particular feeder road. He said it relates actually to improvements on a joint basis for Brown Oil Tools' facility. He said this is somewhat of a compromise with Texas Highway Department and the City in that we are agreeing by Resolution No. 80-22 to participate in the acquisition of the right-of-way or we are stating our intent to do so, and to provide grading and drainage structures which would consist of an additional corrigated drainage culvert, selection of materials and right-of-way markers, etc. related to the road. He said it is a minimal participa- tion related to the cost of this particular project. He said the Highway Department estimates the entire project will cost, if contracted, at 5117,000 and they have elected to do it with their own funds, provided the City will participate. He said this Resolution is our indication that we will participate with our am personnel and in-house facilities under Highway Department supervision to the extent indicated. Councilmember Corley asked how many dollars and cents we were talking about. Mr. Waller said it was hard to say as it depends on direct out-of-pocket dollars minimal. He said it is inside the City limits. Mr. Waller indicated our participation is the only way the Highway Department will participate and take over the maintenance of this particular feeder road. He said after the work is completed, the Highway Depart- ment anticipates it will assume the maintenance of the 1200 foot section. Mayor Waller noted this is not beyond the City's manpower or resources capabilities but it means something else will have to wait. Councilmember Corley then made the motion to adopt Resolution No. 80-22 and Councilmember Hodges seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Corley then amended his motion to specify that the resolution speaks to the City's participation with the Texas Highway Department in the improvement of the Moffitt Springs Road as it exists west of I-45. The amendment was acceptable by the remaining council and it passed unanimously. Ordinance No. 80-23--Water Rationing Plan The City Attorney, Mr. Scott Bounds, then presented the Ordinance, the caption of which is as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, PROHIBITING THE USE OF CITY WATER FOR OUTDOOR USES EXCEPT FROM 6:00 A.M.

All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. Consider consultation proposal for "as built" plans on the North Huntsville Sewer Interceptor Project Mr. Pipes, City Manager, noted a proposal has been presented from Davidson Engineering to prepare "as-built"i location drawings for the North Huntsville Sewer Project, including the treatment plant site, outfall line and laterals for an estimated cost of `;;21,816, with actual costs determined by actual time and materials used. He advised this is not a budgeted project. He noted an alternative to this expenditure would be to have Isbell and Associates compile the "as-built" data as part of its on-going Utility Mapping Project, but that this too, would be on a time and materials basis. Councilmember Brown felt that since the City already has a utility mapping program underway, this should be done in-house. He then moved to reject the proposal from Davidson Engineering and Councilmember King seconded the motion to decline this proposal. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. Consider assignment of the operator's lease on the Huntsville Municipal Airport Councilmember Brown requested a delay in this matter as he did not have time to adequately review the information presented by the City.

Councilmember Dickens made the motion to adopt Resolution No. 81-9 and Councilmember Corleyseconded the motion. Discussion: Councilmember Dowling noted he will vote against this motion because he "always has a little bit of trouble with any organization I'm a member of that lobbies for legislation in the name of repre- senting its members and there is an assumption that unanimity of opinion about some things that is ill founded; secondly, I am not so sure that the bill, as I understand it from reading the information provided, is in the best interest of the people of the State of Texas in view of the financial conditions of the State of Texas." He said with his limited experience, he has noted that money that goes to one place and then comes back to another place somehow, about half of it gets lost in administrative shuffle. He preferred that if money is going to be collected locally and spent locally it should avoid going to the state first. A vote was then taken and all were in favor of the motion to adopt Resolution No. 81-9 EXCEPT Councilmember Dowling, who voted "NO." The motion, however, passed.

He noted the Falk Gear Drive is estimated to cost $6,000 and is to be funded 50-50 with Elkins Lake Municipal Utility District. He noted it would have to be funded from the Water and Sewer Contingency Fund (balance $78,225). Meir.

RECORDS SERIES TITLE: Ordinance,Orders,Resolutions SCHEDULE NO.: 1000-05 CONTENTS OF FILE: Resolution No.: 81-14 Title: OPPOSES DIVISION OF WALKER COUNTY BETWEEN TWO LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS Date: 09-01-81 Councilmember King said the Council does not have a position at this point. Councilmember Dowling said with the information available, it appeared to him the City could not deny someone a franchise; noting there is such an absense of any guidelines in this matter. Scott Bounds, City Attorney, noted in his informal opinion, he said the City can deny a new franchise holder from coming in, however, he wished to do further research on this opinion to find some basis for it. He said the Council, in his opinion, could grant an exclusive franchise to Telecable, Inc. (existing company). He said the City has already franchised them for operation through 1992. Mayor Nash asked Mr. Bounds to further research these topics and advise the Council in their next work session. Mayor Nash thanked Mr. Baker for coming to the Council and for his interest in Telecable. He invited Mr. Baker to join the Council in their work session next Tuesday night. He said the new proposal from the existing Telecable company will also be reviewed at that time. EMERGENCY ITEMS RESOLUTION 81-14--OPPOSING DIVISION OF WALKER COUNTY BETWEEN TWO STATE LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS Mayor Nash then presented Resolution No. 81-14, the caption of which is as follows: RESOLUTION NO. 81-14 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS, OPPOSING DIVISION OF WALKER COUNTY BETWEEN TWO STATE LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS He advised the Council the Supreme Court did rule that the redistricting done by the Legislature was not accord- ing to the State Constitution and therefore the Redistricting Board would have to do the redistricting. He said it is considered very likely that the Board will meet very soon and therefore it would be appropriate that our thoughts and ideas be relayed to the appropriate bodies as soon as possible. Mr. Bounds, City Attorney, referred the Council to a map which shows how the proposed splitting of Walker County affects the City of Huntsville. Mr. Bounds noted the effect would be that the City would have to establish another voting box outside the interstate and within the new city limits line. He noted there are very few voters there and the City would have the expense of creating a new box, finding a new polling place, and then finding people to vote in it. He noted Walker County will prepare a similar resolution. Councilmember Monday made the motion to adopt Resolution No. 81-14 and Councilmember Dickens seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously.

The City further agrees to adopt the following program elements and reporting procedures: MBE PROGRAM ELEMENTS 49 CFR Part 23 sets forth certain required MBE program elements in § 23.43 and § 23.45(e)-(i), to be applicable to activities carried out by the City. The City agrees to include the following clauses in each procurement initiated directly by it, and to adopt the following pro- gram elements: A. Required MBE contract clauses: 1. policy. It is the policy of the Department of Transportation that minority business enterprises as defined in 49 CFR Part 23 shall have the maximum opportunity to participate in the per- formance of contracts financed in whole or in part with Federal funds under this agreement. Consequently the MBE requirements of 49 CFR Part 23 apply to this agreement. 2. MBE Obligation. The recipient or its contractor agrees to en- sure that minority business enterprises as defined in 49 CFR Part 23 have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts and subcontracts financed in whole or in part with Federal funds provided under this agreement. In this regard all recipients or contractors shall take all neces- sary and reasonable steps in accordance with 49 CFR Part 23 -2- to ensure that minority business enterprises have the maximum opportunity to compete for and perform contracts. Recipients and their contractors shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and perform- ance of DOT-assisted contracts. B. MBE Director [§ 23.45(e)]: The City will develop a loose-leaf di- rectory of minority businesses to identify MBEs with capabilities relevant to construction of airport improvements. The information contained in the MBE source list or directory shall be made available to contractors, bidders, and proposers to facilitate their efforts to meet the specific MBE program requirements if opportunities for private sector contracting or purchasing exist. C. Procedures to ascertain the eligibility of MBEs and joint ventures involving MBEs C23.45(f)_7: 1. The City will ensure that any benefits resulting from the goal- oriented MBE program accrue only to firms owned and controlled by minorities or women within the meaning of 49 CFR Part 23, § 23.5. 2. The City agrees to certify MBEs in accordance with the require- ments of 49 CFR Part 23, Schedule(s) A & B upon receipt of noti- fication by it that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the format under the provisions of OMB Circular A-40. The City may accept certifications previously accepted by other DOT operating elements. -3- 3. The City will ensure that the certification systems are at least as effective as procedures prescribed in 49 CFR Part 23, § 23.51. 4. The City will when possible replace a MBE subcontractor that is unable to perform successfully with another MBE. The City will approve all substitutions of MBE subcontractors before bid open- ing and during contract performance, to ensure the substitution of bona fide MBEs. D. Percentage goals for the dollar value of work to be awarded to MBEs § Z3.4bg)j: 1. Each fiscal year, the City will review its various Programs so as to identify those proposed contracts having potential for MBE participation and set an overall goal for MBE participation within the generated activities to be carried out and goods to be purchased. The overall MBE goal shall include a separate goal for firms owned and controlled by minorities, and a goal for firms owned and controlled by women. The City's overall goal for minority- owned and women-owned firms for FY 1981 is 14%. These percentages are based upon the total dollar value of contracts with, and goods purchased from, the private sector. 2. Contract goals will be negotiated where MBE subcontracting oppor- tunities have been identified. The goals) will be expressed as a percent of the total dollar amount of the contract. The City will meet or exceed the goal(s) or be prepared to demonstrate that best efforts were expended so as to accomplish the MBE obligation. -4- 3. The overall goal will be based on a review of the availability of MBEs located within at least the usual market area for con- tractors and vendors. The overall goal will reflect the results that reasonably could be expected as a consequence of aggressive efforts to implement the MBE program. 4. The OMB Circular A-95 Clearinghouse review shall suffice as the goal-related 45-day comment period required by § 23.45(9). E. Procedures to re uire that artici atin MBEs are identified b name by competitors for contracts. 3.45 h i The City will require prime contractors to submit the names of any MBE subcontractor(s), their respective scope of work, and the dollar value of the proposed MBE subcontract(s) within a reasonable time within the circumstances of each solicitation after bid opening(s) and prior to the actual contract award. V. Selection criteria to ensure that prime contracts are awarded to competitors that meet MBE goals L§ 3.45 i J A. The City contracting activities incorporate procedures whereby bids will be reviewed to determine whether the lowest bidder meeting the MBE contract goal is within the zone of competition as to price for the contract. B. If the City determines that this competitor has offered a reasonable price, the firm shall be awarded the contract. If the bidder's price is not reasonable, the competitor with the next highest per- centaqe of MBE participation shall be considered and so on, in order of their percentage of MBE participation until one with a reasonable I price is selected. In the event no bidder with MBE participation has offered a reasonable price, then the City may elect to award the contract to any bidder or offeror that demonstrated a reason- able effort to meet the MBE contract goal. i C. The City will consider steps, including but not limited to the following, as to determining whether reasonable efforts were made to meet MBE contract goals: 1. Attendance at a pre-bid meeting, if any, scheduled by the re- cipient to inform MBEs of subcontracting opportunities under solicitation; 2. Advertisement in general circulation media, trade association publications, and minority-focus media for at least 20 days before bids or proposals are due. If 20 days are not available, i publication for a shorter reasonable time is acceptable. 3. Written notification to MBEs that their interest in the contract is solicited; 4. Efforts made to select portions of the work proposed to be per- formed by MBEs in order to increase the likelihood of achieving the stated goal; 5. Efforts to negotiate with MBEs for specific bids for subcontracts including at a minimum: a. The names, addresses, and telephone numbers of MBEs that were contacted; b. A description of the information provided to MBEs regarding the plans and specifications for portions of the work to be performed; and -6- c. A statement of why additional aqreements with MBEs were not reached; 6. Concerning each MBE the competitor contacted but rejected as unqualified, the reasons for the competitor's conclusion; and 7. Effort made to assist the MBEs contacted that needed assistance in obtaining bonding or insurance required by the contractor or recipient. D. Bidders, proposers, offerors, that fail to meet the foregoing "reason- able efforts" test, will not be certified as eliqible to be awarded the federally-assisted contract. E. The City will ensure that all obligations under MBE contracts are met, by reviewing the contractor's MBE involvement efforts during the life of the contract. VI. Reporting Procedures A. The City will maintain records on specific contract awards to MBEs in a format and frequency to be prescribed by DOT. B. The minimum MBE data elements to be maintained are as follows: 1. The number of contracts awarded by MBE; l 2. A description of the contract(s) awarded to MBEs; 3. The dollar value of MBE contract awards; 4.

Its character, development processes, routine administration and goals concern every individual citizen, for it is the innate desire of every urban dweller to want his community to have all of the advantages, opportunities and improvements that will contribute to the best environment that can practicably be developed. Urban planning is simply a means for systematically attempting and achieving adjustment in the physical environment of the urban community consistent with social and economic trends and sound principles of civic design. Urban planning is a continuing process of organizing, formulating, and presenting a broad, comprehensive, but practical program of urban development and redevelopment - a program designed to fulfill local goals of social, economic and physical well-being, ' considering both the community's immediate needs and those of the foreseeable future. There are three distinct approaches to urban planning: First, any 1 worthwhile planning program must examine the basis or the underlying reason for the community's origin and existence. Second, planning I-1 research seeks out the cultural, political, economic and physical characteristics of the municipality as an independent entity and as a ' component part of a larger region to determine its characteristics, attributes and drawbacks and to establish concepts of physical design that will bring together these elements and characteristics into a sound , and harmonious plan for the development and redevelopment of the urban area as a whole entity. ' The Comprehensive Plan is the product of urban planning and the working ' tool of the municipal government whose activities are of immediate ' concern to the Community. The Plan, as ultimately developed, will reflect economies in the provision of capital improvements, stability of , private investments and should result in increased business opportunities. Social benefits may be attained through development of better cultural opportunities, convenience of living and the amenities ' of home and community life. The comprehensive plan, upon adoption by the City Council, represents ' the official statement by the City of Huntsville. It sets forth the ' Policies of the City regarding decisions about the physical development of the Community. The essential characteristics of the plan are that it is: (a) Comprehensive - in that it encompasses all geographical ' parts of the Community and all functional elements which ' bear on physical development; 1-2 , t (b) • General - in that the plan summarizes policies and proposals and does not indicate specific locations or detailed regulations; (c) Long Range - in that the plan looks beyond the foreground of pressing current issues to the perspective of problems and possibilities 20 to 30 years in the future. It is never intended that the Comprehensive Plan be a medium through ' which Huntsville must be changed and rebuilt overnight. The Plan, with its recommendations, is projected for accomplishments over a period of 1 two or more decades. The Comprehensive Plan with its planning principles, standards and recommended capital improvements, can be carried out over the years in the natural course of urban development. ' Some of the elements of the Plan may be achieved very soon, while others will necessarily be left for accomplishment as future developments ' require and revenues become available. There will unquestionably be changes in the urban structure through technological advancement and ideas, for the future cannot be determined with certainty. The Plan, therefore, cannot be so rigid that it will preclude adjustment to such changes. By anticipating the needs of the Community for public facilities well in advance of physical growth and expansion, costly mistakes in location and capacities of public improvements; duplication of effort; competition of various public agencies for land and funds; conflicts in land usage; and installations of improvements of a relatively temporary nature can be avoided. 1-3 1 The Planning Process The drafting of the Comprehensive Plan for Huntsville is a process involving more than just making plans and proposals. It is the culmination of a lengthy process of research and analysis; appraisal and ' revision; and adoption and implementation. The methodology employed is referred to as the "planning process" and may be interpreted in a number of different ways. The Process , To the professional planner the term implies a whole range of activities ' and procedures essential to the development of a plan. To a City Planning Commissioner, it is a process whose outcome represents the , culmination and synthesis of metropolitan goals and policies into a unified and comprehensive program for community enrichment. And finally, to the general public, the planning process is often regarded , as a set of operations whose result or application has a direct effect or influence on their daily and personal lives. ' The Comprehensive Plan As in the case of the planning process, definitions of the Comprehensive Plan also vary. In a general sense, the Comprehensive Plan is the official document of the City. It provides the frame work for decisions e governing and related to planning goals and issues within the City. It is neither a rigid blueprint for development or a binding piece of 1-4 legislation. On the contrary, the Plan is a "flexibl.e" tool, whose success is determined by the good judgement with which it is used. As interpretations of both the Comprehensive Plan and the planning process vary, the need for further clarification is evident. To better understand each, a description of the Comprehensive Plan's development through the planning process will best serve both purposes. This process, for the purpose of clarity, may be divided into four stages of development: POLICY PLANNING, PLAN PREPARATION, PLAN IMPLEMENTATION and PLAN CONTINUATION. The following overview of the Comprehensive Plan is a description of each of these stages of development, i.e., the planning process as it is applied in Huntsville, Texas. Policy Planning In general, the process begins with the determination of a course of action for the pursuit of community goals and objectives. This phase of development is referred to as "policy planning" and begins with an identification and evaluation of local conditions and problems. Here, data is collected and reviewed to determine future needs. Once determined these needs are then translated into policies representing the official planning goals of the City. As the need for such policies is essential to all levels of government, they are of particular importance to the development of the Comprehensive Plan. Within the framework of the planning process, policy planning is regarded as the icornerstone of effective planning. 1 1-5 As planning is defined as a process of translating policies into working ' plans, it is imperative that sound and rational judgement is used to ' determine when and what policies should be applied. _ t Like most other cities, the City of Huntsville does not have a single ' document containing a set of policy statements. Rather, policies are included as both explicit and implicit statements. They are reflected ' in planning maps and related development standards, City ordinances and the guidelines of local public boards and commissions. ' Citizen Participation To insure the quality of the goals and objectives chosen, efforts are ' made to include local citizens in their evaluation and selection. As , plan proposals and their results have a direct effect on the public, citizen participation in the determination of community goals and objectives is essential to the success and adoption of the Comprehensive ' Plan. Moreover, as the public has become more aware and sensitive to the dynamics of municipal growth, the need for their involvement has become increasingly apparent. As plans are designed to reflect the values and goals of those for whom they are intended, policy planning provides the appropriate mechanism for public participation. , 1-6 Plan Preparation Upon completion of the policy plan, the process moves into its second stage of development. Here previously determined goals and objectives are translated and actualized into a cogent set of plans and proposals. iThis stage of development is entitled "plan preparation" and is divided into two phases: research and analysis and formal plan development. The first phase begins with a detailed inventory of local conditions. Although previous surveys were already conducted for the establishment of goals and objectives, more indepth analysis is required for the drafting of specific plans. The findings from these studies enable the City to make the necessary provisional assessments of future needs and demands. They also provide the foundation for the plan's overall development. ' The research conducted includes studies of the urban economy, employment and population. Analysis is also made of related public facilities and the area's transportation system. This data is used to gauge the amount and rate of development that will likely occur within the next 20 to 3U years. Combined, these studies provide the actual yardsticks for forecasting future community needs. The Plan Once the research and analysis are completed, formal preparation of the Plan may begin. Findings from the previous studies are combined with 1-7 adopted policies to provide the direction ,and scope of the,proposed ' plan. From this point on, attention is focused on bringing Community ' goals into accord with projected community needs. The Plan itself is divided into major components such as Land Use, Transportation, Utilities, Housing and the Central Business District. ' The Land Use element designates the proposed distribution, location and ' extent of uses of land for residential, commercial and industrial areas within the urbanized area. This component is particularly crucial to decisions affecting where and how future growth will occur. The Transportation element correlates present and anticipated land uses with ' the location and extent of traffic on existing and proposed ' thoroughfares and transportation routes. The third component, Utilities, is concerned with present and future uses of the water and sewer systems. Predictions and recommendations for future water and sewer services are considered in this section. The Housing section is ' concerned with the adequacy and availability of housing in the community ' and its provision in the future. An underlying fact of this section is that in order for a community to grow, it must provide adequate housing ' for its population. Finally, the Central Business District section is concerned with the development and redevelopment of the old downtown commercial area to insure its continuance as an important economic and ' social factor in the community. e 1-8 F ® Plan Implementation Following the completion of a working draft, a plan element is then presented in its preliminary form for public and City approval. This phase of the process is referred to as "plan implementation". The importance of this step is that it provides an opportunity for the Planning Commissioners, the Council and the public to openly discuss and debate the merits of the proposed Plan. During this interim period, 1 public hearings and work sessions are held between the City Council, Planning Commisioners and the public. The purpose of these sessions is to resolve and compromise on any specific issues or problems standing in the way of the Plan's adoption. Accordingly, the intent here is not to "sell" the Plan, but rather to improve upon it and increase its responsiveness to community needs and goals. This review also affords an opportunity for interested citizens to express their views and thereby take a more active role in the planning process. Throughout this phase, efforts are made by the City to keep the public informed on the Plan's status. In addition to the distribution of copies of the preliminary plan, the City also provides continuous news releases and special reports to all interested persons. Following discussion and debate, the Plan is brought before the City ® Council for formal adoption. If acceptable the Plan is adopted by resolution. And, even though the Plan is not strictly enforceable, 1-9 there are certain measures, when applied, which will insure its ' implementation. Tools for Implementation ' The four legal tools available to the City to assure the Plan's ' enforcement are: a zoning ordinance, building codes, subdivision ' regulations and the Capital Improvements Program (CIP). Each of these instruments represents a powerful force to encourage or restrict growth to the areas prescribed by the Comprehensive Plan. , The first instrument of enforcement, Zoning, is probably the best known ' tool. The purpose of zoning is to regulate the uses of both public and private land and thereby "promote and protect the public health, safety, ' and welfare" of the community. The zoning ordinance is a city law which , divides land into particular uses or districts. Within these districts, standards and restrictions are established for the use of the land. ' These uses are: residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural. Such an ordinance also provides limitations to property line set backs ' and establishes minimum performance standards, such as the amount of ' noise or smoke that may be emitted from a structure or use. The Building Codes are the second implementative device. The enforcement of these codes provides minimum standards for the 1 construction and maintenance of buildings and houses. Their enforcement ' is essential to the realization of the Comprehensive Plan. As the Building Codes are designed to encourage proper development, they are 1-10 instrumental in guiding future growth. ' Subdivision regulations are the third tool for enforcing the City's Plan. Its function is to establish minimum design standards for the lay-out of streets and the platting of new lots. It also enables the community to require developers and contractors to construct facilities, ' such as sewers, water lines and streets in accordance with community standards. These regulations are extremely important as they control ethe development of bare land. The final tool is the City's Capital Improvements Program (CIP). The CIP is the priority listing of major public expenditures. As this process involves the spending of substantial amounts of public funds, it acts as a major catalyst to the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. Priorities must be established before determining how or when they are to be financed. Through this control the CIP, as approved by the governing bodies, acts as a powerful force in shaping future development and growth. e Whether or not any or all of these tools for implementing a comprehensive plan are used is dependent on the desires of the community. As a comprehensive plan is unique to each city, so too are the methods of its implementation. Although the above four tools have ® become the standard devices for implementation, their overall importance lies in the development standards which they contain. These development standards are not necessarily exclusive. Huntsville, for instance has chosen to adopt standards for landscaping and building setback of lots 1-11 1 within its building code; other cities have chosen to include these standards in a zoning ordinance. ' Plan Continuation The fourth phase of the process is, in effect, a recycling of the first three phases. During this phase, attention is focused on the day-to-day e issues associated with the maintenance and operation of a continuous planning program. This state of the Plan's development is generally referred to as "plan continuation." As outlined in the preceding, the first three stages of the planning process, when combined, form the basis for guiding and determining the future growth and development of Huntsville. However, if concerted and t continuous efforts are not made to carry out these recommendations and ' proposals, the program will at best remain an unfulfilled promise. To be effective, planning must be "flexible" and "ongoing". Planners need to be sensitive to local issues and values as they arise or change. Once the initial document has been adopted, it becomes the responsibility of the City staff and the Planning Commission to continually review and revise it in order to insure its relevance to current needs and development trends. Since a theoretically sound plan is of little value filed away on some shelf, it is imperative that everyone involved work together to insure the Plan's success. To this end, each element of the Comprehensive Plan includes a recommended ' schedule for future updating of the plan. 1-12 II GOALS FOR HUNTSVILLE INTRODUCTION A City, like a person, is unique; it possesses a spirit, a personality all its own. This spirit is a reflection of the collective attitudes and aspirations of its citizens. The comprehensive plan serves as the tool through which these attitudes and aspirations are formalized into a set of goals and objectives for the City. Goals are broad, general statements reflecting the values of the community and its intention to act. Objectives, on the other hand, are the operational expression of goals. While a goal is essentially unattainable or at least unattainable in the foreseeable future, an objective is a concrete aim or endpoint towards which specific effort is directed. The endpoint of an objective may be distant, however. After all, the value of a comprehensive plan is in its long-range outlook. Objectives are, therefore, attainable but only within the wide perspective and economical feasibility of a comprehensive plan. For convenience, the goals of Huntsville have been separated into four general categories: Environmental Design, Economic Development, Cultural Activities and Public Service. Each category has been numbered along with each goal and objective solely for the purpose of reference; numerical order in no way establishes priorities. 2-1 ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN GOALS , The Environmental Design Goals of the City of Huntsville relates to the built as well as the natural environment of the community. These goals represent a concerted effort to recognize the positive qualities ' of Huntsville, those qualities that have shaped the City's physical ' appearance and have made it the attractive city it is. These goals are also intended to encourage the expansion of these qualities to further ' enhance the City's living environment. The overall objective of these goals is to provide general policy guidelines for development and ' redevelopment responding to issues related to the "environment," "design," "image," "character," and "form" of Huntsville. Within the context of this document, the term "environment" refers to the natural physical elements of the community and the human , activities that impact them. The application of adequate and proper , land use standards is the most important single instrument of locally administered environmental management. The fundamental premise incorporated into these goals is that development of land should be discouraged in areas with limited ability to absorb such development 1 without inflicting severe environmental degradation and in instances in , which plans for development disregard environmental constraints. The term "design" refers to both a process and a product. An urban design process is based on the assumption that the physical layout of a , city can be planned in advance leading to the development of the , preferred image for a city. This design image would represent a constantly evolving state of change based on the past, present and future desires of both the public and private sectors. 2-2 The term "image" describes the individual's perception of the city and its various parts. General agreement on a number of different aspects of the city by its citizens produces an overall image. The points about which most people agree will become guidelines. "Character" is a quality possessed by a city and its neighborhoods. ' This quality represents distinct elements inherent to specific areas. Character incorporates both the physical and social elements of the environment in these qualities. Finally, the term "form" deals with the physical development of the city. The development of Huntsville's physical form may be divided into three elements: shape, which consists of the compact city plus the surrounding development pattern; size, measured by the height and bulk of physical development; and mixture, the number of physical elements per acre, their arrangement (either heterogeneous or homogeneous) and their relationship to transportation systems. The goals contained in this document should serve as the means for identifying the physical entity known as Huntsville, in terms of the above classifications, which should enable the public and private sectors of the City to determine those qualities that need to be retained, enhanced or addressed in development proposals. e 2-3 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GOALS The Economic Development Goals of Huntsville relate to the issue of ' residential, commercial and industrial development in the community and the role of the City may have in encouraging or expediting any actions ' relative to these issues. Huntsville contains two relatively stable economic elements in its economy, the Texas Department of Corrections (TDC) and Sam Houston State University (SHSU). Additionally, the ' community is experiencing new and/or expanded industrial and commercial facilities which will expand and diversify the local economy. Attracted to Huntsville by the economic features inherent in such an economy are the new citizens of the community. These individuals have resulted in a , forty percent increase in the population for the City in the last decade , and a fifty per cent increase overall in the county. At the same time the per capita income levels have remained below that of much of the , region. Such growth and development places a heavy burden upon the City. , If the City is to be a leader in the economic development of the community, it must address the issues of whether or not the City will , continue to grow in the future, whether this growth should be controlled, will the City continue to grow, and whether or not the City wants to encourage and/or direct its growth? Is it the desire of the , City that its growth be through residential, commercial and industrial expansion or annexation or a combination of all of these elements? , Also, does the City want to encourage growth in certain elements of the economy over the growth of others? Further, how does the City want to ' approach the questions involved in those segments of the economy which , are only indirectly associated with growth such as tourism? Finally, 2-4 how will the City address these issues while maintaining its fiscal t stability. The economic development of Huntsville involves the participation of a broad section of the community, both from the standpoint of determining its direction and of enjoying its benefits. The Economic Development Goals for Huntsville are an expression by the City of what it perceives as its role in the economy of the community. 1 CULTURAL ACTIVITIES GOALS The Cultural Activities Goals relate to those elements that integrate the various patterns of human behavior into the physical structure of the community. These goals are an attempt to recognize and enhance the cultural life of all levels of the population. Generally, the object of these goals are to heighten the public's appreciation and access to the artistic, historical and educational elements within the community. PUBLIC SERVICES GOALS The Public Services Goals for Huntsville relates to the functioning of local government and the provision of municipal services. This section seeks to coordinate governmental services and municipal utility Policies within the framework of a comprehensive planning process. 2-5 Included in this section are goals related to municipal utilities such as water, wastewater collection and solid waste collection along ' with such other proprietary services as streets and thoroughfares, ' public libraries and fire protection. Since the municipal government is charged with the responsibility of providing and/or maintaining these , services, the efficiency in which these services are provided is also included. The Public Service Goals contained in this section are an ' expression by the City of which it perceives as its role toward what ' services are provided by the City, to whom they are to be provided, how they will be provided, when they will be provided and how the provision of such services will be coordinated among the various activities of the City and the other local governmental entities. 2-6 100.

The framework for future development in Huntsville lies within its present and past land use patterns. The ' intent of this section is to analyze and evaluate the distribution of land uses throughout the Huntsville area. The conclusions, resulting ' from the analysis of the City's land use patterns, will be formed into 1 recommendations for guiding future development. Existing Patterns of Development 1 In general, the City of Huntsville has followed a radial pattern of development, characterized by a gridiron street pattern especially in the older sections of the City. Three dominant factors have tended to , shape the City's pattern of development: the transportation system, large land holdings resistant to normal development pressures; and the presence of large tracts of land owned by the public sector. Any attempt to project future development patterns must take these three factors into account. 1 3-1 1 Huntsville developed around the convergence of several State Highways which have tended to function as the major transportation arteries of the City (see Chapter IV, Transportation). The high visibility and accessibility afforded by the high traffic volumes have tended to make these locations most desirable for commercial development. The high concentrations of commercial development along State Highway 30 (11th Street) and U. S. Highway 75 (Sam Houston Avenue) are representative of 1 this characteristic. The commercial development along these two highways has served as a magnet to other commercial development to locate in the same proximity in order to benefit from the accessibility afforded by these highways and the traffic generated by existing development. Residential development originally took place along the State highways also. Not requiring as extensive a traffic system as the highway afforded, however, residential development spread out within the land separating the major streets through a system of minor, low traffic capacity streets. Huntsville has also tended to be a spread out rather than compact city. This is due in large part to the existence of many tracts of land held by large land owners and estates or State owned land held by either the Texas Department of Corrections or Sam Houston State University. The presence of large undeveloped tracts within the area bounded by or adjacent to I-45, FM 2821 and Highway 19 are particularly significant since in many instances municipal facilities such as water, sewer and 3-2 streets must be extended through or adjacent to these tracts in order to serve neighboring areas. The result of this situation is that the per ' unit cost of providiny municipal services, when distributed to potentially developable land, is much greater than would be necessary if ' all land was available for development. e Large tracts of publicly owned land have tended to serve as barriers to development and have, therefore, contributed to the low density within the City. At the northwest corner of the City, a vast area of over 2,000 acres is under the ownership of the City of Huntsville and the ' Texas Department of Corrections (TDC). Disecting the City at a northeast to southwest angle running through the approximate center of ' the City are large tracts of TDC and Sam Houston State University property. Further, at the southeast corner of the City, lies another , 1,000 acre TOC tract. Outside the City, to the east and south of the , City limits, lies larye tracts of National Forest lands. Residential Land Uses Residential land uses account for approximately fourteen percent (14%) of the total incorporated area of the City of Huntsville (see MAP 3-1: RESIDENTIAL LAND USES); twenty-six percent (26%) of the developed land. Of this fourteen percent, approximately 90 percent of the housing is of the single family detached dwelling unit type. Multi-family units, composed largely of duplexes, apartments and townhouses, account for seven percent of the land under residential use. Manufactured housing represents the remaining three percent of residential land. 3-3 I w A F I GTY OF HUNTSVILLE,TE%AS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 1982 Map 3-1 RESIDENTIAL LAND USES NIDN DENSITY E9 MEDIUM DENSITY w LOW DENSITY 0 1 Manufactured housing units are largely confined to several mobile home ' parks located within the City. Residential densities in Huntsville are low. The old southwest sector ' of the City (the area bounded by Sam Houston Avenue, Avenue 0, 19th Street and 22nd Street) which follows the gridiron pattern containing small to medium sized lots is the highest density area of the community. ' Many of the structures in this area have been converted to student ' housing. Commercial Land Uses ' Commercial land uses represent three percent of Huntsville's total ' incorporated area and account for 5.6 percent of all development (see MAP 3-2: COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL LAND USES). This relatively high percentage can be attributed to the Sam Houston State University , student-related demands and to Huntsville's position as the major commercial center for Walker County. ' Huntsville has three clearly identifiable commercial centers: ' The Central Business District (CBD) - The CBD follows a rigid grid ' pattern, the focal point of which is the Walker County Courthouse, which 1 is surrounded by commercial office buildings, financial institutions and other public and governmental offices. The CBD is delineated by 11th Street to the north and extends south along Sam Houston Avenue to the e Sam Houston State University campus. The primary type of commercial establishments found in this area are retail shops. 3-5 w w I a, b P CITY OF HUNTSVILLE.TEXAS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 1887 Map 3-2 COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL LAND USES COMMERCIAL m INDUSTRIAL go Sam Houston Avenue (U.S. 75 south) and Avenue I - The primary types of commerce in this commercial strip area, located in the midst of a ' predominately multi-family residential area, are restaurants, supermarkets and small strip shopping centers. ' Eleventh Street and U. S. 75 North, extended through Interstate 45 - Major commercial activities in this commercial strip area include a ' shopping center, several automobile dealerships, restaurants and offices. ' Industrial Land Uses ' The economy of the City of Huntsville does not rely heavily on industrial activities--a fact reflected by the small amount of land t within the City devoted to industrial uses. The City's industrial ' function has substantially expanded in recent years however and is most likely to continue this trend. The amount of land area consumed in industrial uses represents only 0.15 percent of Huntsville's total area and 0.3 percent of all development within the City (see MAP 3-2), t Several major industries, however, are located outside the corporate boundaries. Industrial activities in Huntsville include concrete 1 batching plants, construction companies, construction equipment and e supply outlets, a T-Shirt stamping operation, small tool manufacturing and paper manufacturing.

N CITY OF HUNTSVILLE,TEXAS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 1904 Map 3-3 PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC LAND USES PUBLIC/SEMIPUBLIC PARKS 1 Public and Semi-Public Uses The land area devoted to these uses represents 5.8 percent of the City's ' total area (see MAP 3-3: PUBLIC/SEMI PUBLIC LAND USES), with the , Huntsville Airport, the landfill and the Ross Park complex representing ' the largest single tracts within this category. Most of the County and the City government offices are located in the CBD areas, while schools, , parks, churches and other public and semi-public uses are scattered throughout the City. The major health facility is Huntsville Memorial ' Hospital located on Interstate 45 south. The City also owns and maintains three parks: Emancipation Park in northeast Huntsville, Thomas Henry Ball Park in south central Huntsville and Kate Barr Ross Memorial ' Park, located in the northwest sector of the City (which also contains the City Service Center and sanitary landfill site). , Institutional Land Uses The facilities of the Texas Department of Corrections (TDC) and Sam ' Houston State University (SHSU) have been disaggregated from the public and semi-public classification since they constitute such a large portion of the City's land areas (21.7 percent of the total), and exact unique impacts on the community (see MAP 3-3). The TDC occupies several , large tracts of land within and surrounding Huntsville, most of which is in agricultural uses. Only five percent of the land occupied by TDC ' facilities is developed, lending an open character to the community. , The only expansion of TDC facilities planned within the City of Huntsville is the construction of additional facilities at the Wynne ' 3-9 , Unit on U. S. 75 North. The SHSU campus facilities and ground have influenced growth patterns within central Huntsville; SHSU has recently completed its master campus plan which projects development of the University towards the south and east sides of the campus with major new construction projects on the original campus. ' Transportation Land Uses Only 8.7 percent of Huntsville's total incorporated area is devoted to transportation facilities, which is somewhat less than the typical percentage of 25 percent for an "average city." This situation is accounted for by the fact that Huntsville does not have a major rail facility (only a single spur) and has many large tracts of undeveloped land for which no internal circulation system is required. Agricultural Land Uses and Vacant Land Agricultural areas and vacant parcels represent 46 percent of Huntsville's total incorporated land area (see MAP 3-4: AGRICULTURAL AND VACANT LAND USES). Much of the unimproved land is presently tied up in estates, while many agricultural tracts are being held for speculative purposes. As a result, the amount of unplanned open space within the City will likely diminish with time. Careful planning and integration of development in these areas will be an essential part of maintaining the high quality of community in the future. 1 3-10 �,c�•� 7�"1�+Y'ri�,M 1 r vP \ M� + �"''. .r ^'�f �`'��.i+�'r`1 1'"�''i�y g't; �.2t,#', :::�!?��V'rn.:rte^aid :r.Y 5 >v ,y,.

Three basic problems were identified by the committee: (a) incompatible land uses; (b) the lack of adequate overall urban ' design and (c) the lack of comprehensive planning. Incompatible land uses are a problem to some extent in almost all cities although unzoned or recently zoned cities may find such incidents somewhat more frequent. Incompatible land uses usually occur where the characteristics of particular land uses, when located near or adjacent to one another, result in the disruption of the harmony of the general area. Often, one type of land use is said to conflict with another land use. Typically, conflicts between land uses are more often perceived when they exist between residential uses and either commercial or industrial uses rather than between commercial and industrial uses alone. However, conflicts can as easily exist between a commercial land use and an industrial use. In Huntsville, incompatible land uses have tended to be limited to the intrusion of light commercial establishments or offices located within residential areas. Avenue 0 from 11th Street to 19th Street, has been particularly subject to such intrusion in the last few years with the establishment of several day care centers, at least one restaurant and 1 several small commercial establishments. 3-12 1 Such incidents occur for many reasons. Commercial establishments tend, , to locate according to basic economic concerns; specifically, nearness ' to their market, access by the public to the establishment and site specific locational costs. Many smaller commercial establishments may , find locating within a residential area to be the optimal situation. To , continue to use Avenue 0 for an example; the Avenue is located within the largest residential area of the City and one in which parts of the , neighborhood are of a higher density than most of the other residential areas of the City. Second, Avenue 0 serves as the primarily residential collector street for the neighborhood and, by way of several connecting streets, it is easily accessible to other areas of the City. Third, most of the lots along Avenue 0 are sold as residential lots; conversion to commercial use occurring later. The buyer is, therefore, purchasing the property for far less than a comparable lot selling for commercial , use. Since incompatible land uses exist in Huntsville, what are the effects , upon their surroundings? The most conspicuous effect is the sight of a commercial or industrial structure setting among residential structures. ' It is the overall effect upon residential areas where commercial ' establishments have been located that is of predominate concern, however. The reason is simple; municipal facilities (water, sewer and especially streets) are designed to accommodate a specific set of circumstances. Municipal facilities are designed, in the case of residential areas, to accommodate only the demands of residential type developments. Commercialization of such an area, places much greater demands on the facilities than they were designed to handle; the most 3-13 1 serious impact being in the streets. Residential streets, designed to accommodate a few hundred cars per day, may be called upon to serve several hundred vehicles in a few hours time period. The results: the immediate impact is traffic congestion as a 1 result of too narrow pavement; the long term effects, a speeding up of the overall deterioration of the street itself (all streets are built to serve a specific number of vehicles, of a specific weight range and type Iover a specific time period). The City may rapidly find itself forced to rebuild and possibly enlarge existing streets to serve the additional ttraffic. To use Avenue 0 once again as an example, the street is presently showing signs of deterioration; to accommodate the present traffic, the City has recently prohibited parking on one side of the street. If traffic continues the increase on the street, it may soon be necessary to prohibit parking on both sides. With continued use of the street as a major traffic artery, a major reconstruction project is not unlikely. Other problems may exist, of course. It is not unusual to find problems with noise (especially automobile) and unpleasant odors associated with commercial establishments. While not as distinguishable an impact on a neighborhood as traffic congestion, increased noise levels and air pollution have recently received an increasing amount of public interest. Trash and garbage may also become a problem. Commercial uses produce greater quantities of both; often resulting in overloading recepticles and scattered debris. 3-14 The second problem identified in existing development in the community ' was the lack of overall urban design. Specifics cited within this ' category were the lack of formalized open space, parks and recreation areas, "odd" shaped lots that are difficult to develop and haphazard and t unsightly commercial development. To date, Huntsville has been lucky, the density of its development has remained very low due to the existence of large tracts of land throughout the City that for a variety , of reasons have remained undeveloped. It cannot, however, be expected that these tracts will remain undeveloped forever. At some time in the ' future when these "urban forests" are turned into concrete, asphalt, metal and brick much of the character of Huntsville will be changed also. It will be up to the City to determine how valuable such open ' spaces are to its future identity. The "odd" shape of certain lots in the City pose an increasing problem to developers as the City continues to define its development standards. Most often, these odd shaped lots are a result of the many years in ' which the City operated without any type of subdivision controls. Tracts of land were often subdivided one lot at a time and were designed e according to what the buyer either wanted or could afford. Ultimately, the last lot was that part of the original tract that no one else wanted; its shape anything other than rectangular (the result being a ' great deal of wasted space). These lots may not even be small; it is just as hard for a developer to try to subdivide an odd shaped tract of , several acres (still too much wasted space) as it is to develop a 5,000 square foot pie shaped lot. 3-15 1 Haphazard and unsightly commercial development was seen by the committee 1 to be the supreme example of the lack of urban design in Huntsville. Examples cited were strip shopping centers and other commercial establishments located along Sam Houston Avenue, 11th Street (U.S. Highway 30) and I-4b. As with the odd shaped lots, land along these streets that have been developed or are offered for future development have been split off from the original tract on a lot by lot basis without regard to an overall development scheme. The result, commercial lots with minimal parking areas and crowded conditions. Finally, the committee identified probably the most basic problem of all, the lack of comprehensive planning in Huntsville. This problem includes and expands upon the preceding two problems. Areas of Iparticular concern identified by the committee included insufficient public easements and rights-of-way, inefficient use of City facilities, inadequate streets forced to function as major traffic arteries and development in flood prone or drainage areas. 1 Huntsville is plagued by the lack of adequate public easements and rights-of-way. Streets exist within the City where the right-of-way is ieither totally unknown (the majority of the older sections of town) or exists only from the back of curb to back of curb (Old Houston Road, for example). Water and sewer facilities are in much the same shape, many 1 existing lines having no known easement. The result is delay and increased expense whenever an attempt is made to expand or upgrade existing facilities. 3-16 The inefficient use of City facilities and inadequate streets forced to function as major traffic arteries may be discussed together. The City , has a major capital investment in its water, sewer and street systems. In the case of a majority of existing facilities, little or no ' comprehensive planning was used before their installation. This is especially true where streets are concerned. Many water and sewer lines have been constructed which are either too large or too small (usually ' too small) to serve the population they are now expected to serve. Streets were constructed with no concept of segregation of use; most ' streets were constructed to what as nearly as possible may now be t described as local or residential streets. Since many of the streets were built to a gridiron pattern with development continuing to extend ' the length of the street, the final end product is a local street, designed to serve a limited amount of traffic but forced instead to 1 serve as a collector street with a high volume of traffic. Finally, the City has minimal regulations concerning development within ' flood prone or drainage areas. Presently, development can occur beside, on top of and around drainage channels as long as the finished floor , elevation is one foot above the designated flood elevation and the flow of water is not stopped. Huntsville contains many natural drainage channels; continued development of these must and will affect these ' channels. The flood elevations of today may not be the flood elevations of tomorrow. Development adjacent to drainage channels hinders any future attempts to solve drainage problems. Since drainage channels must be viewed as a system just as water and sanitary sewer lines are, the City should accept the responsibility of protecting this natural, ' 3-17 ' 1 city-wide system of disposal of storm water. Future Patterns of Development Huntsville and Walker County have experienced a continuous growth during the past thirty years. According to the Census of 1950 the population of Walker County was ZU,163 and the City of Huntsville 9,82U. 8y 1980 these numbers had swelled to 41,789 and 23,946 respectively. Prior to 1950, the County as a whole gained only 1635 people in twenty years of which only 295 persons were added between 1940 and 1950. More importantly, the 1950 Census showed a decrease by 4,417 persons in the ' rural population of the County and a corresponding increase of 4,178 in its urban population. Something was obviously about to happen. What happened was growth; 21,626 additional people in the County in ' thirty years (14,126 in the City). Along with the growth of population, the political boundaries of the City have also expanded. In 1950 the City of Huntsville covered approximately 3,173 acres. At the time of the 1980 Census, the City covered 7,739 acres. In the two years since the 1980 Census, the City has annexed an additional 4,593 acres for a total acreage of 12,331 or approximately 19 square miles. Considering ' the recent past, therefore, it is likely that the next twenty years has even greater changes in store for Huntsville and Walker County. To obtain an idea of the impact of continued growth on the City of ® Huntsville a series of population projections was undertaken. Several standard methods of population projections were undertaken such as the 3-18 1 Cohort-Survival Method, Trend Line Analysis .and the Ratio Method. 1 Additionally several alternative development patterns were developed and ' analyzed. The end product of this process was a "best guess" estimate of the future population. Although this plan directs itself primarily ' to the year 2000, due to the requirements of some extended life capital , improvements proposed for the transportation and utilities sections, the population was projected to the year 202U. The projected population for , Huntsville and its present extra-territorial jurisdiction is displayed in Table III-1: PROJECTED POPULATION. Anticipating these expected changes and recommending methods to insure an easy transition is the responsibility of the comprehensive plan. In order to anticipate the future development pattern of Huntsville, an analysis of present and future development was undertaken. Two aspects of future development were analyzed - development of previously 1 undeveloped areas and redevelopment within existing areas. Future Development of Undeveloped Areas Analysis of future development of undeveloped areas consisted of two processes; first, a process of elimination was directed towards all land within and immediately adjacent to the City of Huntsville. The process , involved removing all land from consideration that was already developed followed by all publicly owned land (TOC, SHSU, Sam Houston National Forest, etc.) which, due to the nature of ownership was listed as ' unclassified. The land remaining after the above two exclusions was considered as potential sites for development. 3-19 , TABLE III-1 PROJECTED POPULATION CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS POPULATION GROUP YEAR CITY OF 1 TOTAL COMBINED ' HUNTSVILLE TUC SHSU CITY ETJ TOTAL 1981 9,550 6,041 9,351 259122 1,531 26,552 1990 12,256 6,041 10,484 .28,781 1,954 30,735 2000 15,989 6,041 11,533 33,563 2,722 36,285 2010 19,407 6,041 12,686 38,134 3,584 41,718 2020 23,624 6,041 13,954 43,619 4,787 48,406 (1)These figures do not contain those students classified as commuters by the University. Spring 1981 commuters totaled 2,129. 3-20 The next step was to estimate the relative potential for development of these sites. Factors taken into consideration in determining potential for development were as follows: (1) Ownership; (2) Accessibility; (3) Availability of public facilities; (4) Topography; (5) Location; ' (6) Size of tract; (7) Existing use. Potential sites for development were broken out into three categories: high potential, medium potential, and low potential. The time span was ' to the year 2000. It must be stressed that the category assigned to any particular tract is a result of the combination of the factors sited above (the whole greater than the parts); a change in any one or more of ' the factors may require .a total reassessment of all land contained in the analysis. ' The results of the analysis are displayed in MAP 3-b: DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL. Overall, the analysis projects the highest potential for , development to occur over the next twenty years adjacent to the existing major transportation arteries such as I-45, State Highway 3U, State , Highway 19 (East Loop) and FM 2821 near existing developments. Sites labeled within the medium development potential range are located near 3-21 III I I I II i W I N N I X. lilll�,l CITY OF HUNTSVILLE,TE%AS , COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Map 3- DEVELOPMENTAL POTENTIAL DEYELOPEO PUBLIC OWNED LAND INPPIPw l •�::i::::::, MIDM POTENTIAL cm YBONN POTENTIAL LOW POTENTIAL 1 to developed areas or high potential for development areas but are lacking in some of the factors influencing development in Huntsville. ' In many cases, the tracts are adjacent to proposed thoroughfares such as the proposed West Belt or the area is deficient in existing public , facilities. It is likely that these areas will develop once an infrastructure (streets, water and sewer facilities) exists to serve the such development. Finally, by far the largest amount of land within the immediate vicinity of the City of Huntsville has been categorized as having a low potential for development. Tracts contained in this category were found to be deficient in almost all public facilities, to be far removed from the City itself, to have a high economic value under its present use (for example, timber harvesting) and to be under an ownership resistant to , the pressure to develop. It is advisable, however, for the City to maintain a periodic monitoring of these tracts in order to detect any change, especially in ownership, which might result in a , recategorization of some of the tracts. Redevelopment Redevelopment of existing developed areas in Huntsville will be directed , primarily to the conversion of low density land uses (residential) to a higher density use (commercial). It can be expected that the tendency , of commercial land uses to concentrate alony the major traffic arteries and downtown will continue. Redevelopment, therefore, is most likely to , occur in these areas. More specifically, through the year 2000, , 3-23 redevelopment can be expected to take place in the following areas: (1) Central Business District. Avenue M and 10th Street will become the focal points of expansion of the CBD. This in turn will lead to a "spill-over" of commercial development to the north of lUth Street and the west of Avenue M. In the foreseeable future, it is unlikely that this trend will extend further than 8th Street to the North and Avenue 0 to the west. (2) 11th Street (State Highway 3U). This street can be expected to continue to develop commercially. Redevelopment will consist of both residential conversion to commercial use and low density commercial conversion to a higher density commercial use. (3) Sam Houston Avenue (Hwy 7b South). Like lith Street, Sam Houston Avenue will continue to develop commercially, especially as population in the southern part of town increases. (4) Highway 75 N (Avenue Q). Commercial establishment can be expected to continue to locate along this major thoroughfare to take advantage of the existing market in adjacent residential areas. Commercial establishments will most likely consist of low density service oriented businesses commonly referred to as light commercial. 3-24 (5) Montgomery koad (FM 1374). Commercial development has ' been infrequent along this thoroughfare due in part to the , still relatively undeveloped nature of South Huntsville. It is likely that this trend will continue since residential development in the southern half of the City is expected to ' remain sporadic. (6) Avenue 0. It is likely that additional conversions from residential to commercial uses will occur along this street. ' Commercial establishments will be light, probably retaining ' the original residential structure with extensive interior remodeling. Future Land Use Having identified areas that are most likely to develop, the question then arises as to what type of development will occur? It has been estimated that Huntsville will contain a population of 33,563 persons by the year 2000 assuming no major changes in TUC or SHSU populations r within the City. This amounts to an increase of approximately 9,378 or 37 percent from the 1981 population of 25,122. In order to employ, house and service these additional people, assuming that the percentage of land uses existing in 1981 are sufficient for the existing population of 19,081 (25,122 less 6,041 prisoners) and whatever demand is placed upon some land uses by residents outside the City limits, the following land use requirements may be projected for the years 1982 to 2000. 3-2b PROJECTED LAND USAGE NEEDS 1982-2000 Acres Estimated Total Additional Withi£ Acres 2 Acres Required Land Use City Year 2000 ® 19 Residential '71-1 2,2 Commercial 37U 534 164 Industrial 25 36 11 Public/Semi-public 715 1,U31 316 Transportation 1,073 1,548 475 Institutional 2,675 - - ' Agricultural/Vacant 5,722 - - Total 12,331 9,533 3,884 1 19,081 2 27,522 Therefore, by the year 2000 an additional 775 acres of residential land ' will be needed to accommodate the expected growth within the City alone. An additional 164 acres of commercial areas will be required to serve the population. Most industrial land users have located outside the City limits, if this trend continues, only 11 acres of additional industrial land may be expected to be developed in the City. Although the above figures may seem like quite a large amount of land, it should be contrasted to the 5700 acres of agricultural/vacant land within the present City limits. If this undeveloped land can be brought into development, the City has more than enough developable land within its present borders to serve its population long past the year 2000. If 3-26 this acreage cannot be brought into development or an insufficient ' amount is developed, the population expected within the City may locate outside the City limits requiring a decision by the City whether or not ' to extend the City limits to encompass the development. Comparing the pattern of existing development with the land expected to be available for development, results in an expected future development pattern as displayed in MAP 3-6: FUTURE LAND USE. Far more land is ' shown as available for development than will be necessary according to the expected growth in population. Therefore, projected uses of the land are based on the most appropriate land use to allow it to fit into ' the existing urban pattern of the Community. Further, no attempt has been made to indicate the exact location of every particular land use ' category. Shapes and sizes of site areas are relative. The details of such development will be dependent upon future development proposals and land requirements at the time that these facilities are proposed for , construction. In general, future residential development, as shown in the future land ' use map, is most likely to occur west of I-45 and north of FM 2821. ' Some high density residential developments can be expected along 1-45 ' adjacent to Forest Hills Subdivision and scattered around other areas of the City. Since residential development has already started west of ' 1-45 with developments such as Westridge and Timberwilde it can also be expected that additional residential development in the near future, ' will more likely locate there rather than north of FM 2821.

' Future commercial activity is projected to concentrate for the most part within the City limits. As discussed previously, it is expected that ' the Central Business district will slowly expand towards the north and , west, especially along 10th Street and Avenue M. Uther areas projected for commercial use are the west feeder road area of I-45 south of State 1 Highway 30, FM 2621, State Highway 19 between Hiyhway 30 and 190 and Highway 19 between Sam Houston Avenue (U.S.Highway 75) and I-45. ' Scattered commercial establishments are likely to occur on 11th Street , (State Highway 30), Montgomery Road, Sycamore Avenue, Avenue 0 and when completed, the West Belt. ' Future industrial activities are projected to occur outside the present , City limits, a continuation of present trends. Major sites projected ' for industrial development are located east of State Highway 19 (East Loop) along the Missouri Pacific Rail Line and south of the Goree Prison , Farm along State Highway 75 adjacent to McMurry-Hughes and International Wire. ' 3-29 Trends In Future Development ' As a result of the above analysis of the potential development in Huntsville and comparing this with state and national trends, the following general conclusions concerning the overall pattern of development in Huntsville may be made. First medium to high density (greater than seven dwelling units per acre) residential and commercial land uses will be the predominate types of development within the City limits of Huntsville. A variety of factors will contribute to this trend such as the high cost of providing water, sewer and street facilities, high land values, buildiny construction costs, financing problems and the lack of easily developed land. Second the majority of industrial development will continue to occur outside the present City limits. This is due in part to the lack of suitable sites within the City limits and the desire upon the manufacturers to avoid municipal taxes and regulations. tThird scattered light industrial and commercial establishments will develop along State Highway 19 (East Loop). Fourth scattered heavy commercial and high density residential developments will develop adjacent to I-4S. 3-30 1 1 Fifth, "leap frog" development which has been a characteristic of Walker County and Huntsville for the last twenty years will continue. Leap frogging is the process in which development jumps over expensive vacant ' land at the immediate urban fringe or within developed areas in favor of , cheaper land farther out. This is due to the difference in development standards between the City and County, the availability of developable land (or lack of it), the lower infrastructural costs of rural subdivisions as compared to urban developments and the desire of many ' residents in the Community to 'own a few acres of land." ' Sixth, the continuation of high interest rates and high construction ' costs will result in a gradual decrease in the size of single family detached residential structures and continued growth in mobile r (manufactured) home usage. ' Problems of Future Development , Assuming the City retains its present level of land use regulation, ' certain problems which the City may confront in the future may be ' identified. For the most part, these problems already exist; continued growth, however, is likely to magnify them to the point at which action may be required. These problems are as follows: (1) "Leap frog" development will make extension of municpal ' utilities too costly for many subdivisions outside the City limits. The alternatives are individual systems, whether for ' 3-31 1 each lot or for the subdivision as a whole, or municipal ' utility districts. Both of these alternatives present problems for the City. ' (2) The emphasis on rural subdivisions, especially adjacent to the City limits where lots are greater than one acre and 1 few if any municipal services are required will have one of two effects: (a) the City will be "boxed in or constrained from future annexation by large lot developments due to the major capital expense of providing municipal facilities; (b) the City will annex such rural subdivisions but, due to the low density of such developments, providing basic tmunicipal services will be very costly. (3) Small (light) comnercial or industrial establishments will continue to locate in previously all residential areas unprotected by deed restrictions. (4) Much of the undeveloped land within the City limits will remain undeveloped requiriny the City to extend municipal services beyond them to serve developing areas. 3-32 kecommendations 1. It is recommended that the development of vacant land within the , City limits should be encouraged. The City should thoroughly investigate the feasibility of the following as methods of accomplishing ' this recommendation: 1 (a) A more comprehensive City/developer participation policy which ' will cover construction of all public improvements if development is within the City limits; ' (b) municipal construction and improvement of public improvements to stimulate desired growth. e 2. It is recommended that the City discourage "leap frog" developments , or developments that bypass land adjacent to current development in favor of cheaper land located some distance from existing development. ' 3. It is recommended that the City undertake a long range program of , physical improvements to older areas of Huntsville where a stimulus is , needed to encourage redevelopment by the private sector (i.e. 10th Street, from U. S. 75 North to University Avenue and the Gospel Hill , area). ' 4. It is recommended that the City use regulations to assist in ' managing and directing future growth to insure development according to the comprehensive plan and to reduce the tendency of commercial and ' 3-33 industrial intrusion into residential areas. ' 5. It is recommended that the City reduce the chance of land use conflicts through provision of mandatory buffer areas between low density residential area, high density residential, industrial and commercial land uses. 6. It is recommended that the City actively participate with the Chamber of Commerce in encouraging the location of industrial activities in the community. To this end, the City should maintain personnel capable of providing assistance to developers of industrial activities. 1 Among the information maintained by the City should be an inventory and map of potential industrial sites. 1 7. Residential development inside the City limits is expected to consist largely of high density, multi-family building types such as condominiums, townhouses and apartments. It is recommended that the City review its present regulations to insure that no inappropriate restrictions exist which will inhibit such development. ' 8. It is recommended that the City undertake a study to investigate the feasibility of zoning for the City of Huntsville. 3-34 1 IV ' TRANSPORTATION INTRODUCTION , It is the scope of this section of the Comprehensive Plan to analyze the , various transportation modes and recommend courses of action to insure that the transportation system in Huntsville remains adequate. Huntsville's current transportation system was examined, identifying existing strengths, weaknesses and future needs. The basic transportation modes affecting the area (air, bus, rail and automobile) ' were analyzed to determine their current and future levels of efficiency. An examination and evaluation was made of the City's ' overall street and highway network, identifying the present and ' potential problem areas, major traffic generators, the geometric nature of the network and existing signalization schemes. In addition, ' existing freight and passenger transit services were identified and examined. ' t Thoroughfares The thoroughfare system of a city is the principal means of movement of people and goods. The streets and highways that comprise this system are the carriers in this network. Their capacity is determined by size, ' condition, routing and land usage to be served. A thoroughfare system consumes large quantities of land and requires great amounts of the 4-1 community's income to construct and maintain. The system must, therefore, be understood as basically established to serve one purpose - - movement of people and goods between all parts of the community. For the purpose of this study, the thoroughfare system in Huntsville has been classified according to the function and to commonly applied terminology. The classifications are as follows: Expressways - a divided multi-lane arterial street designed for rapid unimpeded movement of large volumes of traffic with full control of access and grade separations at intersections. Expressways are not intended to provide direct access to adjoining land. Arterials - streets that serve major traffic movements. They are primarily traffic carriers between various sections of the City and form a network of through streets. Service to abutting properties and access to these properties are tsecondary functions. Collector Streets - a street located within a neighborhood or other integrated use area which collects and distributes traffic from local streets and connects with arterial streets 1 or comae nity facilities. 4-2 1 Local Streets - provide access to abutting property and circulation for traffic within residential, commercial and ' industrial areas and are designed for low-speed travel and configured to discourage through traffic. It should be noted that real-world actualities do not always observe functionally efficient, textbook descriptions such as those above. Many 1 streets in Huntsville function as more than one of the above street ' categories. For the purposes of this study, analysis of the existing and future street system of Huntsville will concentrate only upon the major t thoroughfares of the city; that is, expressways, arterials and collector streets. The location of future residential streets will depend upon the future design of subdivisions by private developers. By following ' standards established in the Design Criteria Manual, future residential streets can be fitted into the major street system of the City. The ' proposed thoroughfare system contained in the future street system section of this study is the framework around and within which the future development of Huntsville will be contained. Existing Street System The existing thoroughfare system of Huntsville is shown in Map 4-1- EXISTING THOROUGHFARE SYSTEM. The primary traffic carriers of the city ' are the National and State highways that serve the community.

U. S. Highway 75 passes through the center of ' the city providing its primary north-south traffic corridor while State Highway 30 (11th Street) runs due east-west joining U. S. Highway 190 and State Highway 19 to form the city's major east-west traffic corridor. Additionally, the city is served by several State farm-to-market roads. FM 2521 serves as the city's north loop. Connecting the downtown with FM 2821 is FM 247 (Avenue M) running north-south from Highway 30. , Finally, the southwestern portion of the city is served by FM 1374 (Montgomery Road) while FM 3411 (Old Phelps Road) serves southeast , Huntsville. The original plat of the City of Huntsville was based on a yrid street ' pattern. As development continued, this pattern was extended where possible in a somewhat modified form to fit the demands of local , topography. Although most of these local streets serve limited areas, a few function as collector streets. Such is the case with Normal Park ' Drive, Avenue 0, Avenue M (from 11th Street south), University :\venue, , Avenue F, Lake Road and Sycamore Avenue running north-south within the city. East-west local collector streets are Eastham Drive, 10th Street, ' 12th Street through 17th Streets between Avenue M and Avenue J, and 22nd Street. MAP 4-1 also provides a designation for City owned streets , classifying them according to the standards adopted for streets in the ' Design Criteria Manual. 4-5 ' Traffic Characteristics The average daily traffic volumes for Huntsville's major streets are illustrated in MAP 4-2: TRAFFIC VOLUME (1979) which contains the latest information on traffic counts available from the Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation. Traffic volume data, used to identify trends for purposes of facility evaluation and improvement priority establishment, is the key traffic characteristic in determining the level of street usage efficiency. Volume is used as a "quantity" measure of flow and is the number of vehicles that pass a point in a given period of time. For the purposes of this study, the volume of traffic is expressed in the average total number of vehicles per day (24 1 hour count). In terms of traffic volume, Table IV-1 provides, in descending order, a list of the most heavily traveled streets in Huntsville.

A comparison of the average daily traffic counts on the most heavily traveled streets in Huntsville in Table IV-1 with the practical traffic capacities shown in Table IV-2 leads to the following conclusions. 1. S. H. 30 (11th Street) is at or near capacity at the present time. As traffic use continues to grow, speed on the street will decrease, traffic "jams" will become more noticeable and frequency of accidents will increase. Pavement width is at maximum for the existing ROW with little prospect of acquiring additional right-of-way. It is likely that the only means of alleviating future traffic problems will be to redirect as much of the traffic as possible to other streets. 2. U. S. 75 S (Sam Houston Avenue) is at or near capacity from S. H. 30 to 22nd Street. The same conditions exists for this street as for S. H. 30, therefore, the same conclusions are appropriate. ' 4-8 3. Sycamore Avenue is nearing its capacity. Sycamore Avenue, however, has one mitigating factor, it is an extra-wide street which, if all on-street parking is removed, can allow it to carry traffic loads up to the lower limits of an arterial street. ' 4. Avenue J is functioning as a collector street although originally built to serve local residential functions only. Avenue J and Lake Road are acting as one of the major entrances to SHSU. It is likely that this situation will remain throughout the present planning period. ' Traffic is likely to continue to grow along with the University. 5. Lake Road is another street that is nearing its capacity limits according to its functional classification. However, this street, like Sycamore, is built in excess of the standard width for collector streets. Therefore, it is possible that this Street will be able to handle traffic loads near to the minimum levels of an arterial street. The mitigating factor for this street will be the hilly terrain over which it runs. 6. Avenue U is another collector street nearing its capacity. Unfortunately, this street was built to serve residential purposes only and is, therefore, too narrow to allow much flexibility. It is also interrupted at its intersection with 19th Street by an offset. Removal of all on-street parking and re-design of the 19th Street intersection will allow this street to continue to function as a minor collector street for the near future. If traffic continues to grow, it is likely ' 4-9 complete reconstruction and widening of the street will be.necessary. Traffic Control To obtain maximum efficiency and safety in any street system, modern traffic control devices must be employed. Standard controls are traffic signals, traffic signs and parking regulations. Signalization Traffic signals are valuable devices for facilitating the safe and efficient control of vehicular and pedestrian traffic and interchange. In 1977, signals along Eleventh Street at Avenue 0, Avenue M, Sam Houston Avenue and University Avenue were interconnected to provide progressive traffic movement along Eleventh Street. These are the only interconnected signals in the city at this time. Additional traffic signals are located along Sam Houston Avenue (U.S. 75 S) at 13th Street, 16th Street, 17th Street, 20th Street, Avenue J - Lake Road, Avenue I, F. M. 1374 and Sycamore Avenue. All are presently pre-timed but not interconnected with other signals to provide progressive traffic flow. Other signalized intersections with noninterconnected signals include Avenue I and 20th Street, 11th Street and U. S. 75 N, 11th Street and Avenue I and 11th Street and I-45. The City of Huntsville, by letter dated December 16, 1980, requested the assistance of the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation in developing plans for synchronizing the traffic signals on 11th Street 4-10 and Sam Houston Avenue. As a result of this request, a field evaluation ! of the existing signals was performed. ! It is recommended that the City update the existing signals to standards ! required by the Manual Un Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and ! coordinate the signals for progressive movement of traffic. The following is an evaluation of each intersection: ! (1) US 75 N (Avenue l)) and 11th Street (SH30) - This signal is a ! traffic actuated signal. The loop on the north approach of US 75N is out of service. It is recommended that the City install a new ! loop on the north approach and place the signal back in traffic ! responsive operation. ! (2) Eleventh Street from Avenue 0 to University Avenue - These ' four signals are interconnected for coordinated movement of traffic. No physical changes to the existing signals are required ! or recommended at this time. ! (3) Sam Houston (US 75) and 13th Street - The signal equipment and installation at this intersection are basically obsolete. A ! totally new installation should be provided at this intersection. ! It is recommended that 12-inch heads for Sam Houston traffic and 8-inch heads for the side street approaches horizontally mounted on ! span wire be provided. This installation will require three new steel strain poles since the southeast quadrant has an existing ! steel pole. A three dial, fixed time secondary controller is also 4-11 1 suggested. (4) Sam Houston (US 75) and 16th Street - Although the signal heads at this intersection are acceptable, improvements are necessary to bring the installation into compliance with the MUTCU. The existing installation does not meet the requirements that at ' least one signal indication must be at least 4U feet from the stop line of that approach. Also, the installation does not provide the minimum of two signal indications for the side street approaches. Therefore, it is recommended that a new box type, span wire signal be installed along with horizontally mounted 12-inch heads for Sam Houston Avenue traffic and 8-inch heads for the side street approaches. A new three dial, fixed-time secondary controller is recommended since the existing controller has served its useful lifeand is obsolete. It is also recommended that 4 new steel 1 strain poles be placed at this intersection; it is unlikely the existing poles could handle the weight of the new installation. (5) Sam Houston (US 75) and 17th Street - The offset of 17th Street complicates the handling of cross-street traffic in a safe, efficient manner. Also, the configuration of the existing signal einstallation does not lend itself to providing the most desirable signal layout. Therefore, a new signal installation at this 1 intersection is recommended. All 12-inch heads should be installed and mounted vertically to enable positioning the heads in the most acceptable location. A protected left-turn for southbound traffic turning east to the University should be provided. Also 4-12 i recommended is splitting 17th Street phasing (i.e., eastbound has ' green and then westbound has a green). A left-turn green arrow is I suggested for both approaches on 17th Street to assure the motorist that the movement is protected. A pedestrian signal indication is ' included in the southern most crossing of the intersection. It ' appears that several students cross at this location. The new installation will require a three dial, secondary fixed-time ' controller. (6) Sam Houston (US 75) and 20th Street - No changes are recommended for this intersection. The existing signal controller is a three dial, fixed-time master controller with three time clocks which can be utilized to coordinate the signals at the 13th, 16th, and 17th Street intersections. It can also be utilized to coordinate these signals along with the four signals south at the Lake Road, Avenue I, FM 1374 and Sycamore Street intersections if the City elects to place all eight signals into one system. ' (7) Sam Houston (US 75) and Lake Road - This intersection was t recently upgraded with a new master control box which will eventually be interconnected with Avenue I, FM 1374 and Sycamore Avenue. Left turn signals have been added to allow turning off of ' Lake Road and Avenue J. Signals on Sam Houston Avenue were left unchanged. Due to these recent changes, no further upgrading of ' the intersection is necessary. ' (8) Sam Houston (US 75) and Avenue I - It is recommended that the ' 4-13 ' 12-inch signals removed from the pith Street intersection be installed in lieu of the existing 8-inch heads at this intersection for traffic on Sam Houston Avenue. They should be mounted horizontally. The existing controller is an actuated Signal 1 Computer Corporation's Model 2000 controller. There is concern whether or not this company still manufacturers controllers or replacement parts. Also, this type controller cannot be coordinated to a fixed-time controlled system. Replacing the controller with a two or three dial, secondary fixed-time controller is recommended. (g) Sam Houston (US 75) and FM 1374 - The existing controller should be replaced with a two or three dial, secondary fixed-time controller for the same reasons as outlined under Item 8. (10) Sam Houston (US 7b) and Sycamore Street - It is recommended that the existing controller be replaced with a two or three dial, secondary fixed-time controller since the existing controller is an outdated obsolete model. It is also suggested that consideration ' be given to replacing the pole in the northeast quadrant with one of the steel poles from the 16th Street intersection. The existing ' pole was damaged during an accident at this intersection. (11) Coordination of Siynals along Sam Houston Avenue - Items 3 1 through 10 outlined improvements which can be made at eight intersections along Sam Houston Avenue in Huntsville. These ' improvements will improve traffic operations at these individual ' 4-14 1 intersections, but will do little to upgrade flow of traffic along ' Sam Houston Avenue. This can only be accomplished by ' interconnecting the signals and coordinating the signals for progression of traffic. It is recommended that coordination of the signals be undertaken as soon as possible. ' Other Forms of Traffic Control 1 In general, all the warning and regulatory signs in Huntsville are in good condition and conform with standard requirements. Some parking ' signs at various locations are missing from their post, in poor condition or mounted too low. Except for State maintained routes, there , is limited use of pavement markings on City streets. High Accident Locations ' An analysis of the frequency of accidents and their location over the ' last five years (Table IV-3: FIVE YEAR ACCIDENT SUMMARY) has shown a general overall decrease in accidents and a spreading out of accident locations resulting in a fewer number of accidents at any one location. ' This is probably the result of the efforts on the part of the City in the last few years to provide improved traffic control. ' 1 4-15 1 TABLE IV-3 FIVE YEAR ACCIDENT SUMMARY ACCIDENTS 5 YR.

The future ' thoroughfare plan for the Huntsville area is shown on MAP 4-3: FUTURE ' THOROUGHFARE SYSTEM. This system was devised to serve the various patterns of growth projected in the land use study and to provide the ' most convenient and expeditious routes of travel throughout the Huntsville area. To further expedite the flow of traffic, specifically truck traffic, a routing system for through truck traffic has been developed to ' complement the future thoroughfare system. MAP 4-4: THRUUGH TRUCK AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ROUTE displays the recommended system. Upon completion of the proposed West Belt, this route will be added to the system. PUBLIC TRANSIT At the present time Huntsville is without a public transit system. It ' is doubtful if the future population of Huntsville can support an effective transit system due to the low density of the Huntsville area ' and the estimated population size. It may be possible, however, that a limited system running between an area of a very high concentration of ' population such as SHSU and an area of concentrated retail establishments such as the Central Business District could receive sufficient use to remain viable. 4-19 ' FM 21 8� A N O ,p Y vM N 1 CITY OF H UNTSVILLE.TEXAS COMPREHOENSIVE PLAN Map 4-3 82 FUTURE THROUGHFARE SYSTEM ICLASSINFC BY FUu TION) 111B EXPRESSWAY ARTERIALS COLLECTORS s Hwy ' 73 H ' p� �Y,90 MAP 4-4 THROUGH TRUCK AND HAZARDOUS ,& MATERIAL ROUTE N HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS , 4-21 1 BUS The Continental Trailways Bus Company provides the Huntsville area with intercity and State bus transportation. Present service includes 17 daily stops. Both freight and passenger services are available, the former averaging approximately 50 passengers per day. Unfortunately, ® due to the limited facilities available in the city, many maneuvers of the busses to position themselves for loading and unloading of passengers occur on Sam Houston Avenue. As traffic volume on this street continues to increase, this situation will become more of a problem. AIR The municipal airport is located on the east side of I-45 in the northwest quadrant of the city. The facility handles some commercial and private air traffic but no major commercial flights presently enter 1 the area. RAILROAD A spur line extending across the eastern portion of Walker County provides Huntsville with its only rail service. The major rail line is located approximately 9 miles east of the City with a terminal located at Phelps. In 1981, an estimated 25 carloads per week were sent out from Huntsville while approximately 15 carloads per week were unloaded in the City. Six days per week service is available with a Palestine destined train originating in Huntsville each Monday, Wednesday and 4-22 Friday, returning the next day. Current terminal facilities are in a declining state. The terminal located on Avenue J between 14th and 15th Streets requires freight to be delivered almost downtown in crainped, outdated facilities. Trucks ' delivering or picking up freight are requested to travel often indirect routes on streets not designed to carry truck traffic, to arrive at the 1 terminal. If use of the railroad is to continue to grow in Huntsville, ' it is unlikely that these facilities can continue to provide adequate service. A more viable situation would be the relocation of the freight ' facilities adjacent to State Highway 19 and Bearkat Boulevard. MOTOR FREIGHT 1 Central Freight Lines is the area's largest trucking firm, with ' additional freight services available from Red Arrow Freight Lines, U-Haul, Inc., Ryder Truck Rental One-way, Inc. and Missouri Pacific ' Transport. Morning and afternoon schedules to Houston and Dallas link ' the Huntsville area with national connections. Local warehouses are maintained by each of these freight lines. PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE TRANSPORT Walking and bicycling have continued to hold an important place in the movement of people in Huntsville. Due to the size of the city it is ' still possible to transverse the city either by walking or bicycling. Unfortunately, few facilities exist within the city to encourage either , 4-'L3 ' form of movement. No designated bicycle lanes exist and sidewalks, . ' except in the downtown area, are intermittent. Therefore, a system is recommended to coordinate these two forms of movement and to insure the esafety as much as possible of those who use these methods. WATER TRANSPORT Huntsville does not have direct access to waterway transportation. 1 RECOMMENDATIONS 1. It is recommended that the City formally adopt the future thoroughfare plan of the City of Huntsville as displayed in MAP 4-3: FUTURE THOROUGHFARE SYSTEM of the Comprehensive Plan. 2. It is recommended that the City formally adopt and implement by ordinance routes for through trucks and hazardous materials. The recommended routes are displayed on MAP 4-4: THROUGH TRUCKS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS RUUTES. Funds should be appropriated at the time of ordinance passage for necessary signage. 3. It is recommended that the City prohibit blocking of traffic lanes by delivery trucks. This problem is especially acute along Sam Houston Avenue and 11th Street. It is suggested that the City require back door ' delivery where feasible; where not feasible, designated loading/unloading areas adjacent to the curb should be provided. It is 1 also recommended that, where curbside load zones are provided, that they 4-24 1 be designated for specific time periods and uses and that the regulations be strictly enforced. e 4. It is recommended that the City remove all unnecessary hindrances to traffic flow along its collector streets. Hindrances include inappropriate or unnecessary stop signs, dips, and rough or bumpy driving surfaces and blocked sight triangles. 5. It is recommended that the City devise and adopt formal policies , related to the following: (a) maintenance and ownership of streets in newly annexed areas; ' (b) street paving; (c) construction of sidewalks; , (d) growth and control of vegetation in public riyhts-of-way; , (e) maintenance of drainage channels. ' 6. The City in cooperation with the Downtown Merchants and the Chamber ' of Commerce should undertake a study to determine the economic feasibility of providing off-street parking facilities in the downtown , area. ' 7. In cooperation with SHSU, the City should develop a traffic , circulation and parking plan for the area adjacent to the University. e 4-25 g. In cooperation with TDC, the City should develop a traffic circulation and parking plan for the area adjacent to the Walls Unit. 9. It is recommended that the City adopt more detailed standards for ' the design and placement of driveways, especially commercial driveways. It is also recommended that all private driveways built within public street rights-of-way and connected to paved streets be required to be surfaced with either asphalt or concrete. lo. It is recommended that the City continue to pursue the development of an economically feasible Airport Master Plan. 11. It is recommended that the City institute a program for reviewing the adequacy of rights-of-way for existing streets and, where inadequate, to obtain the additional necessary riyhts-of-way. e 12. It is recommended that the City stay abreast of the developments in rapid rail and mass transit facilities for this region and insure 1 Huntsville's participation whenever possible. 1 13. It is recommended that the City adopt and implement, through a Capital Improvements Program, the projects listed in the following: CAPITAL NEEDS INVENTORY. Included in this list is a prioritization of 1 each project and a generalized timetable for completion. 4-26 CAPITAL NEEDS LIST: TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES ' Priority Description 1* Widen State Highway 30 to four (4) lanes (curb and gutter) with a center turn lane from I-45 to the City Limits 2* Widen U.S. 75 N to four (4) lanes (curb and ' gutter) with a center turn lane from 11th Street (State Highway 30) to I-45 3* Widen FM 1374 to four (4) traffic lanes ' with a center turn lane from U.S. 75 S to City limits 4* Widen FM 247 to four (4) traffic lanes from State Highway 30 to FM 2821 5* Redesign and reconstruct the intersection of S.H. 30, U.S. 190, and Sycamore Avenue 6 Upgrade the traffic signals along 11th Street and Sam Houston Avenue as recommended in the Comprehensive Plan according to the following Schedule: (a) U.S.75(N) and 11th Street; (b) Sam Houston Ave. and 13th Street; (c) Sam Houston Ave. and 16th Street; 1 (d) Sam Houston Ave. and 17th Street; (e) Sam Houston Ave. and Avenue I; (f) Sam Houston Ave. and FM 1374; ' (g) Sam Houston Ave. and Sycamore. 7 Coordination of Signals along Sam Houston Avenue *or in accordance with schedules established by the Texas Department of , Highways and Public Transportation. 4-27 TRANSPORTATION CAPITAL NEEDS LIST Priority Description 8 Acquire rights-of-way for future streets listed below: (a) 16th Street (1) from Avenue Q to I-45 (2) from State Highway 19 to FM 2929 (b) Roans Ferry Road from 9th Street to FM 2821 (c) 10th Street (1) from U.S. 75 to Normal Park (2) from Avenue F to Roans Ferry Road (d) Avenue F from 3rd Street to FM 2821 9 Resurface 10th Street from U.S. 75 N to University Avenue 10 Resurface Avenue 0 from 11th Street to 22nd Street 1 11 Eliminate the offset street intersections at the following locations: (a) Avenue 0 and 19th Street (b) 17th Street and Sam Houston Avenue (c) Avenue I anad 12th Street (d) University Avenue and 8th Street 12 Widen U.S. 75 S to four (4) traffic lanes (curb and gutter) with a center turn lane ' from State Highway 19 to I-45 13 Redesign and rebuild the Avenue I-Sam Houston Avenue intersection to provide as nearto a 90 degree intersection as possible 14 Extend 16th Street from Avenue Q to I-45 15 Extend Avenue F from 3rd Street to FM 2821 16 Extend 10th Street westward from U.S. 75 N to I-45 17 Extend 10th Street eastward from Avenue F to Roans Ferry Road 1 18 Extend Bearkat Blvd. eastward from State Highway 19 to intersect with FM 2929 19 Widen and pave Roans Ferry Road to collector street standards '' 4-28 1 V ' PUBLIC UTILITIES Introduction , The provision of potable water and the collection and treatment of ' sanitary sewage are two of the most important services provided by local government. They are also among the most difficult and expensive ' services to perform. Planning for such services seeks to achieve the , identification and conceptual design of needed improvements over a long-range period of time. Detailed design of individual projects must, , of necessity, be accomplished at the time that specific improvements are scheduled for actual construction. Such construction plans must be based upon detailed engineering studies and data specific to each ' improvement contemplated and which cannot be contained within the scope of this plan. ' Huntsville is presently in the final stages of a utility mapping program , that will not only locate the existing systems but provide invaluable ' information for future planning purposes. This plan will not seek to anticipate all the results of that future study. Rather, it seeks to establish the foundation upon which that study may build and expand. Therefore, the present plan focuses upon two aspects of the public ' utility systems: , (1) a general conceptual map of the future water distribution and , 5-1 ' sewage collection systems; and (2) recommended improvements to the systems to alleviate existiny problems. Water Distribution System Huntsville draws its water supply from a well system located in the ® southern part of the City (see Table V-1: EXISTING WATER WELLS) and from surface water obtained from Lake Livinyston. The primary distribution center for water in Huntsville is the water treatment plant located on Walnut Avenue. Here, water is treated, stored and pumped into a network of distribution and supply lines throughout the City and adjacent areas. A second water treatment plant is located on Autumn Lane at Spring Lake Estates. As a result of past planning efforts, a primary distribution system of 12 inch lines has developed. The purpose of these 12 inch lines are to loop the City at approximately one mile intervals. To date, much of the proposed system is still incomplete. These 12 inch lines serve as the major trunk lines or distribution lines of the water system. The overall system also consists of 6, 8 and 10 inch lines functioning as minor trunk lines and service laterals.

The two tanks are set at different elevations but are operated through altitude valves in the system to set the levels of the tanks. The elevated storage tank ® located adjacent to Fire Station #2 on Avenue J contains 400,000 gallons of water while the storage tank on Walnut Avenue at the Water Treatment APlant holds 500,000 gallons. The existing ground storage for the City is located at the two water treatment plants. The primary treatment plant located on Walnut Avenue has 5 million gallons of ground storage capacity in three storage tanks. The Spring Lake Treatment Plant has one ground storage tank capable of holding 500,000 gallons. The estimated storage needs for the City of Huntsville to the year 2000 are shown in Table V-2: WATER STORAGE REQUIREMENTS. This table is based on the projected population of the City and the present State Health Department Water storage requirements. The requirements shown in the table are State Health Department minimum based upon the typical needs of a city. Although it is advisable for the City to maintain at least the minimum State requirements, these standards should be used only as guidelines for provision of future facilities. They are not intended to insure adequate facilities for all cities but only sufficient facilities for emergency use. 5-4 TABLE V-2 WATER STORAGE REQUIREMENTS PROJECTED TOTAL STORA�S) ELEVATED ST?��GE REQUIRER2) EXISTING MINIMUM ADDN.

Upon completion of the ' utility mapping program, it is expected that far more detailed lists of problems will be available. At this time, however, the major problems identified in the water distribution system were: (a) an ayiny infrastructure; 1 (b) undersized lines; (c) dead-end lines; 1 (d) "bottlenecks" (e) inadequate storage capacity; and (f) an incomplete loop system. FUTURE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM MAP 5-1: FUTURE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM shows the recommended major trunk line improvements necessary to complete and expand the existing 1 loop system of the City. Minor trunk lines and service laterals will extend off of this system and should be designed at the expected time of construction. Additional facilities such as elevated storage tanks are sited at the existing water treatment plant on Walnut Avenue to take advantage of the existing space available, the elevation and the nearness to existing facilities.

COMPREHENSIVE PIAN " Map 5-1 FUTURE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM ' IZEXISTIRQ. 1Z.Ig105ED N1w Sanitary Sewage Collection System The existing sewage collection system is divided into two primary 1 systems. One system, basically the area north of 22nd Street, is served by the A. J. Brown Wastewater Treatment Plant located to the north of the City along Parker Creek. The second system, servicing basically the area south of 22nd Street, is served by the N. B. Davidson Wastewater Treatment Plant located to the south of the City along Persimmon Creek. The routing of sewer lines is much more difficult than the layout of water lines due to the necessity of carrying sewage by gravity. Water must be delivered under pressure, therefore mains can be laid on rising grades with few limitations. In the case of sewer lines, waste is ' released from the home or other sources by gravity and the main must slope continuously downhill. The only modification possible is to collect sewage at the low point and pump it to a higher elevation, ' usually across a ridge, for further gravity flow. No service connections, or course, can be made to the force mains. The gravity flow problem is the primary factor in locating treatment plants downstream from the major sewage source. Huntsville's two wastewater treatment plants each serve several watersheds. It is, therefore, necessary to lift sewage into the drainage area of each plant by way of sewage lift stations. Presently, the City operates 21 lift stations; 8 serving the treatment plant to the ' north of the City and 13 serving the south plant. The necessity for tlift stations in the collection system creates a maintenance problem. 5-8 1 Regular inspection and periodic repairs are required for any operating mechanism such as pumps. Due to the nature of the waste being pumped, sewage lift stations are particularly critical from a maintenance ' standpoint. The rough terrain and combination of watersheds within Huntsville renders it impossible to eliminate all lift stations; ' however, their number should be kept as low as possible. The City has just completed a major construction project to provide sewage service to all areas inside the City limits served by the north plant. A second project will soon provide sewage collection to the recently annexed New Addition area. Although there are a few small areas within the City that are not served by sanitary sewer, by far the majority of residents have sanitary sewer service. If projections for the future are correct, a problem will likely occur as development continues to the West of I-45. This area, which is where much of the future residential development is expected, cannot economically be connected to either of the two existing treatment plants. Without a central sewage collection and treatment system, it is likely that development in this area will be very low density to allow the use of individual septic tanks. It is recommended that the City undertake a more detailed analysis of this problem with the intention of determining the advisability of construction of a third sewage treatment 1 plant in the near future. 5-9 Problems .in the Existing Collection System The general review of the water distribution system discussed earlier also included a review of the problems in the sewage collection system ' of the City. The major problems identified by this review are: (a) an aging infrastructure; (b) inadequate sizing of lines; and (c) infiltration/inflow of ground water and storm runoff into the system. Future Sewage Collection System The future collection system that will be needed is shown on MAP 5-2: FUTURE SANITARY SEWAGE COLLECTION SYSTEM. This system concentrates on the major trunk lines (outfall lines) required to transport the sewage to the treatment plants. Individual lateral and service lines which provide direct service to a structure should be designed at the time of 1 proposed construction. Due to the limitation of this study, MAP 5-2 !� provides a proposed facility system only for the A. J. Brown Wastewter Treatment Plant. For more detailed information concerning these facilities, refer to FACILITY PLAN, JUNE 1976 by Wisenbaker, Fix and Associates. 5-1U < Z A.anowR }; \ w 9TEWATFR P ANTMFNT \�0 � �aE r/tl• R<NT C'.- LIFT STATION'E'. da/ 'ill Li its UFT STATION'F' ItA - X.

It isrecommended that the City revise its existiny utility extension policy to make it more comprehensive in nature. Specifically, it should provide the process by which all utility extension agreements between individuals and the City are followed. It should be designed to be used both by the individual to obtain water for one residence or business or by a developer. ' 2. It is recommended that the City initiate and maintain a utility easement maintenance program. 3. It is recommended that the City adopt MAP 5-1: FUTURE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM as the conceptual plan for the water distribution systemof the City. 4. It is recommended that the City adopt MAP 5-2: FUTURE SANITARY SEWAGE COLLECTION SYSTEM as the conceptual plan for the sewage collection system of the City. r5. It is recommended that the City undertake an individual study of each drainage basin within the service area of the City to determine future sewage service levels and an approximate timetable for providing such services. Included in each study should be an analysis of the ' ability of the drainage basin to sustain a sewage treatment facility. 6. It is recommended that the City adopt and implement, through a 5-12 1j 1 Capital Improvements Program, the projects listed in the following capital needs inventory. Included in this list is a prioritization of 1 each project and a generalized timetable for completion. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 b-13 ' CAPITAL NEEDS LIST: WATER FACILITIES ' Priority Description 1 2 Million Gallon Elevated Storage Tank (including Engineering and Property Acquisition) 2 Reconstruct Automatic Valve Station and Control System on South Sam Houston Avenue 3 Replace the 8" water line running along Hwy 75 S from Old Phelps Road to Sycamore to Water Plant with a 12" line and construct a 12" water line parallel with Montgomery Road (Possum Walk) from South Sam Houston Avenue to Elks Drive, then parallel to Elks Drive to IH 45 4 Complete 12" water line loop system running along: ' (a) Highway 2821 (247 E, 1625' have been installed from 247 to Avenue F; (b) State Highway 19 (East Loop) from Old Colony Road south to Hwy 75 S; (c) I-45 (16th Street to Hospital); (d) Avenue F (7th Street to 2821); (e) 16th Street (Sycamore to 405); (f) 75 N to Moffet Springs Road. 5 Install valves at various locations within the system as indicated by mapping program.

Housing Nomenclature Concept of Adequate Housing For the purposes of this plan, the definition of adequate housing is twofold. On one hand, adequate housing can be defined purely in terms of shelter. That is, housing as a building designed to provide shelter from the elements which should, at a minimum, be safe and sanitary. The terms ' safe and sanitary relate to the following characteristics of a structure: (1) Structural soundness ® (2) Availability of hot and cold running water (3) Heating facilities ' (4) Electricity (5) Windows (minimum number per square foot) (6) Indoor bathroom facilities (7) Indoor toilet facilities (8) A minimum square footage per person (9) A minimum number of bedrooms per number of persons. 6-1 1 On the other hand, adequate housing can be defined as part of the ' "total living environment". In this context, housing is perceived as a part of the total social and cultural conditions that influence the life of , an individual, family or community. This approach attempts to define adequate housing not only in terms of the unit itself, but also in terms of the block, the neighborhood, and the community in which the housing unit is ' located. Certain amenities that have been identified as necessary for adequate housing in this sense are shown in Table 6-1: HOUSING AMENITIES. Table 6-1 ' HOUSING AMENITIES Amenities 1 Amenities Available within a Available to Site Reasonable Proximity ' (1) Trash/garbage collection (1) Parks (2) Street maintenance (2) Schools (3) Police and Fire protection (3) Shopping areas ' (4) Water and sewer facilities (4) Employment centers (5) Other utilities (5) Health facilities t In order to ensure desirable economic growth and stability in the community, housing which fits both aspects of this definition should be ' made available for all economic levels within the community. t Types of Housing ' Huntsville offers a variety of housing types and ownership patterns. For the purpose of this plan, existing housing has been divided into three 6-2 1 general categories: public housing, private housing, and commercial 1 housing. These categories are defined as follows: ' (1) Public Housing - Any federal or state owned and operated or assisted housing. (2) (2) Private Housing - Owner Occupied housing or housing operated by non- profit organizations. (3) Commercial Housing - Any housing run for profit of the owner on a lease or rent basis. Furthermore, each of these three divisions may be subdivided into multi- family, single family detached, and single family attached housing. These subcategories are defined as: A (1) Multi-family - any residential structure containing more than one living unit according to code standards with common wall construction, common utilities and recreational amenities. (2) Single family detached - any residential structure containing one living unit by code standards without common wall construction to another living unit and with individual utility hook-ups. (3) Single family attached - any residential structure containing more than one living unit with common wall construction according to code standards but with individual utility hook-ups. A diagram of housing types can be seen in Figure 6-1. 6-3 Figure 6-1. DIAGRAM OF HOUSING TYPES Public Housin 'Commercial Housin Private Housin Sin le Famil Detached Sin le Famil Attached M lti-Famil 1) Single Family Home 1) Dormitories 2) Mobile Home 2) Nursing Homes ' A 3) Half-way Houses 4) Apartments 7Quadruplex 1 A Ownership As may be seen by the definitions of housing types, ownership of the residential structure is of major importance. As often as not, though, ownership is not lodged with the occupant or occupants. Discussion of the ownership of housing, or real estate, refers to the possession of the land, A the buildings thereon and anything permanently affixed to the land and/or buildings. AThe advent of mobile home or manufactured housing ownership has led to the development of Mobile Home Parks; commercial sites specializing in the rental of space for a residential structure which may be privately owned Aand, as the name implied, mobile. A Mobile Home Park is considered to exist wherever a parcel or tract of land is used for the rental occupancy A of two (2) or more manufactured or mobile homes. Due to their flexibility, Amobile homes may be located in mobile home parks or on privately owned land. Additionally, they may serve as the residential structure of the Aowner or as a rental unit. AOne concept of real estate ownership experiencing increasing Popularity is the condominium. A condominium is defined by Texas State AStatute as a form of real property ownership that combines separate A ownership of individual apartments or units with common ownership of other elements. A 1 1 6-5 1 Analytical Framework , To determine the adequacy of Huntsville's housing, a sample survey inventory of existing housing and a housing market impact analysis was conducted in the City. The inventory of existing-housing consisted of the ' following: , (1) Number of structures (2) Number of units (3) Number of vacancies (4) Type of ownership ' (5) Location (on map) (6) Rent values (7) Peak capacity ' (8) Presence of Public Services (9) Condition of housing ' Additionally, the results of a Housing Market Analysis, based in part , on the existing housing inventory, is included in this plan. The market ' analysis considered the impacts of demographics, housing affordability, historical and current housing trends, and future housing needs of various housing types. A more in-depth analysis.of the future housing needs for ' Huntsville may be found in the Housing Technical Report, Huntsville Planning Department, March 1984. The information in this document is not ' as accurate or as current as staff would like it to be. 6-6 EXISTING HOUSING Public Housing This section encompasses a discussion of federally assisted housing and housing furnished by Sam Houston State University and the Texas ' Department of Corrections. Included in this discussion will be the impacts associated with each type of public housing. Federally Assisted Housing The Citizens of Huntsville have access to two kinds of federally assisted housing funded through two programs of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. These programs are identified as Section 8 and Section 23 housing which provide 150 and 100 units, respectively. All of these units have access to City public services. As of January 1983, both programs were 100% occupied, with 216 of 250 units located within the City limits (see Map 6-1). As recently as the Summer of 1982, however, the Section 8 program was not at capacity, making it impossible to receive an additional allocation Aof units when the Walker County Housing Authority applied in the Fall of 1982. Expansion of the Section 23 facility is not possible according to current DHUD regulations, though there is sufficient land to allow for additional housing units. e 6-7 x iM 1 N t• � • ] HJIh• � w eel N �a3Z v v N N •S • CITY OF HUNTSVIL LE,TERAS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 4 MAP 6-1 FEDERAL ASSISTED HOUSING Date: January, 1983 •-WATKINS-CLARK Source: Huntsville Housing Authority *-SECTION 8 Walker County Housing Authority ® Sam Houston State University Out of a total student population of 10,470 in the Fall of 1982, 2,032 ® commuted to school, 3,587 to 3,688 lived on campus (depending on the number of students in on-campus married student housing); and approximately 4,750 ® to 4,851 students lived off campus (but in the confines of the Huntsville area). There were 37 buildings to house the single students on campus and two married student housing complexes. Married student housing consisted of 5 buildings with a combined capacity of 101 units. During the Fall of 1982, they were at 100% capacity, resulting in a minimum of 202 persons occupying the units. 1 All of the housing facilities on campus have access to City public services. In addition, the campus itself provides one of the largest amenities within the confines of the City since it is one of the centers of fine arts and culture for the surrounding area. Off campus student housing impacts the private housing market of Huntsville in the following ways: (1) Those rental units closest to campus will generally reach 100% occupancy first. (2) Students desiring to live alone will generally live in the cheapest or the most expensive housing off campus based on income; those in the cheapest housing will impact on the idigenous low and very low income ' rental population. (3) Those wishing to live in the high cost rental units will live at the maximum density allowable. 6-9 (4) Off campus housing will impact all spectrums of the Huntsville rental housing market but the greatest impact will be the lower income rental housing market. 1 During the year 1982, Sam Houston State University adopted a Master Plan for construction and demolition of University facilities to be utilized as a guide through the year 2000. As part of the master plan, ' there are several housing facilities that will be demolished and later be replaced by the construction of two 1500 bed facilities. At the completion t of the demolition and construction projects, Sam Houston State University will be able to house 3,294 single students in University owned facilities ' and a maximum of 202 married students. ' Due to the demolition of existing housing facilities, the master plan ' impacts the housing market of Huntsville. An additional 715 housing units will be needed by 1994 to accommodate the relocation of students ordinarily ' housed on campus in the preceding 10 years. In addition, to accommodate off campus student housing for the year 2000 another 624 housing units are ' needed beyond the 715 built to accommodate the impact of the master plan. Texas Department of Corrections Limited housing is provided for the Texas Department of Corrections t (TDC) for its employees. What facilities exist consist of 5 dormitories, a ' mobile home park, and individual single family attached and detached homes. ' Quantification of the impact of TDC on housing in Huntsville is virtually impossible due to the following conditions: , 1 6-10 (1) The number of housing units provided by TDC for its employees is. available. However, no figures exist on the number of of persons who live in the dwellings or whether more than one member of the household 1 is a TDC employee. (2) Although the total number of TDC employees in Walker County is available, the residence statistics of the employees are not available. Many of the TDC employees listed as working in Walker County live outside the city limits of Huntsville and others outside the county. No information is available to attempt an estimate of the breakdown. An assumption concerning the recent expansion of the TDC work force can be made. The assumption is that, at least in the short-term, the new employees will seek rental units for dwelling purposes. This is likely to create a great demand for apartment construction. However, in the long term, as TDC stabilizes its work force in Walker County and the existing employees seek permanent housing, the demand for rental units by TDC employees will drop sharply. Commercial Housing The Commercial Housing section will entail a discussion of Apartment Complexes, Mobile Home Parks, Nursing Homes, a Half-way House, and miscellaneous rental units. 1 e 0 6-11 Apartment Complexes ' A survey of 31 apartment complexes, containing approximately 2,507 housing units or 38% of the total estimated housing units available in ' Huntsville, was made in 1983. The rents in the various sample apartment complexes vary according to the square footage of living area in each unit and the number of utilities the tenant is required to pay in addition to rent. Typically, the location of an apartment complex determines its clientele and peak occupancy periods. For example, those complexes nearest ' to the University usually have a slump in the summertime due to the decrease in the student population. All of the complexes surveyed had , access to the City utilities and public services. In most cases, these complexes are also located in proximity to shopping centers, entertainment ' facilities and restaurants. The general locations of these complexes are ' depicted on Map 6-2. From January 1, 1982 to January 1985, building permits for approxi- mately 1140 apartment units were issued. Local professionals in real 1 estate, finance, and other housing related industries attribute the increase in the building of apartments to the following: ' (1) Demolition of dormitories on the Sam Houston State University campus, ' in accordance with the University Master Plan. (2) Expansion of the Texas Department of Corrections Ferguson and Ellis i Units, plus the additional employees needed to comply with Justice William Wayne Justice's order on reducing the guard to prisoner ratio. (3) Developers believe the City is entering an accelerated growth period ' though the peak may not be realized for several years. 6-12 z • I w •• .' r 1 CITY OF HUNTSVILLE.TEXAS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Date: August 2, 1983 M A P 6-2 Source: Huntsville Planning Department LOCATION OF SAMPLE APARTMENT COMPLEXES 1 1 According to Professional Builder magazine, two additional reasons for increased construction are: , (1) Creative financing and the strong interest in apartments from tax- shelter syndications are driving the rental market with little regard to short-term demand. ' (2) Apartment construction is proceeding in many overbuilt Sunbelt markets , in expectation of long-term market growth, the eventual undoubling of households, and many more households being locked into rentals because of high purchase costs. Whatever their reasons, builders and developers foresee a need for an increase in apartment housing in the Huntsville area. The impact of these ' new apartment complexes on the rest of the housing market is hard to quantify at this time, but from information received from other cities experiencing an "apartment glut", the following may occur: ' (1) Older complexes may go through extensive renovation in the near future ' or lower their rents in order to compete. (2) There may be a decrease in apartment permits in the future until the ' market adjusts itself. (3) The majority of future investment in apartment complexes may be from out of town investors. ' (4) Apartment complexes may have vast advertising campaigns offering special deals. (5) High rate of bankruptcy or defaults. (6) Little impact on the single family detached home market (interest ' rates are having the most impact). ' 6-14 (7) Some effect on the mobile home rental market depending on the number tof residents preferring apartments over mobile homes. (8) Older complexes, due to lowering rents, may enter into the lower income rental market (possible substandard housing problem). Mobile Home Parks There are 36 licensed Mobile Home Parks (MHP's) in Huntsville providing a total of 817 rental spaces. The rents in the various MHP's vary according to the following: square footage of living area in the mobile home, number of utilities the tenant is required to pay in addition to rent, and if it is a space rental versus a space and mobile home rental. The location of the MHP's determines in part their clientele. (See Map 6-3) Their clientele consists of single college students (comprising the smallest percentage), non-student single adults, and families which may consist of students or non-students. The majority of the MHP's have accessibility to all public services and utilities. Proximity to parks, schools, shopping centers, employment centers, and health facilities varies according to location. Since 1980 there has been an increase in the number of Mobile Homes locating in the City. This increase can be attributed to the following factors: (1) Existing Mobile Home Parks annexed since 1980; (2) 126 mobile home rental spaces have been created since 1980 in licensed ' MHP's. 6-15 z • • m rn .' • • N CRY OF HUNTSVILLE,TEXAS COMPAMNSIVE PLAN MAP 6-3 Date: September 30,,1983 LOCATION OF SOME Source: Huntsville Plonning Department MOBILE HOME PARKS (3) All single-wide mobile homes and the basic double-wide model can be purchased for under $50,000. (4) Availability of 30 year FHA financing for permanently sited structures constructed to Department of Housing and Urban Development's Manufactured Housing Standards. Nursing Homes Huntsville has three nursing homes: Fair Park Nursing Center, Green Acres Convalescent Center and Ella Smither Geratric Center which have a total capacity of 416 beds (for their locations refer to Map 6-4). All three facilities admit private paying as well as Medicaid patients. Neither Fair Park Nursing Home nor Green Acres Convalescent Center offer skilled nursing care except on a case by case basis with approval by the State Health Department. Both of these facilities have licensed Vocational Nurses working 24 hours a day and have access to all public utilities and ' services provided by the City. They do not have any specific amenities nearby but both facilities provide recreational and entertainment activities with the cooperation of local organizations. The Ella Smither Geriatric Center does provide skilled nursing care and is housed in the renovated Ella Smither Building which will have access to all City utilities and public services. Town Creek Park is within walking distance as well as the downtown market area. 6-17 rn ' i uo i N CRY OF NUNTSVLI11AXAS COMPFCHEN/N{PLm MAP 6-4 LOCATION OF NURSING HOMES Date: January, 1985 Source: Huntsville Planning Department Half-Way House The City has one half-way house within its City limits. The half-way house is a private/non-profit corporation called the Next Step, Inc., ® created early in 1982. The half-way house provides an environment in which prison parolees may be "eased" back into the free world. All City public services are available to the facility. It is within walking distance of a esmall grocery store and several churches. Clientele of the half-way house are Texas Department of Corrections parolees. Their placement in and release from the half-way house is determined by the Texas Parole Board. There are no plans for expansion of the existing site, but there are plans 1 to relocate the facility to private property near the new Ellis II Unit. Miscellaneous Rental Units 1 Miscellaneous rental units would be inclusive of all rental housing types not previously discussed exclusive of shared owner occupied housing 1 by unrelated individuals. There is no documentation on the 1980 Census on this type of shared housing. Based on 1980 Census of housing data and the above definition, 39% of Huntsville's rental housing units are within the 1 misellaneous rental unit category. There are five housing types under this category: single family detached, single family attached, duplex, triplex, and quadruplex. Three general conclusions can be drawn relating to miscellaneous rental housing in Huntsville: (1) The second largest portion of rental housing is provided by the single family detached housing type. 6-19 (2) Of the existing single family attached, duplex, triplex and ' quadruplex types of housing in Huntsville, only approximately 12% are t owner occupied. The owner occupied consist primarily of the single family attached housing types, such as townhouses. , (3) Since these units are located within the city limits, most of the ' units have access to public services, such as fire and police protection and garbage collection. ' Private Housing ' Private housing is owner occupied housing. By definition, this also ' includes group housing owned and operated by a non-profit organization; although, at the time of this writing, there is no known group housing which meets the definition in Huntsville. Therefore, the following ' discussion will pertain to owner occupied single family housing only. All types of housing are represented under owner occupied single family housing. The two major types are single family detached and mobile homes. Single family detached housing comprises 75% and mobile homes 20% t of owner occupied housing. In addition, 69% of all single family detached houses and 71% of all mobile homes within the city limits of Huntsville are ' owner occupied. Reasons whythe single family detached t ' 9 y type of housing is the most popular form of owner occupied housing are: ' (1) provision of land ownership in a variety of sizes; ' (2) privacy; (3) tradition. ' (4) financial benefits (appreciation, income tax advantage, etc.) 6-20 e 1 Reasons why the mobile home type of housing is the second most popular form of owner occupied housing are: (1) provision of land ownership in a variety of sizes; (2) privacy ' (3) cost (4) financial benefits (but to a lesser extent). Admittedly, a major portion of the mobile homes in the City are in mobile home parks, which do not provide land ownership or privacy. However, the goal of most of the owners of mobile homes in parks is to purchase land as soon as possible and relocate. The other types of housing which may be utilized as single family owner occupied are single family attached, duplex, triplex and quadruplex. Each of these types of housing have common walls between units and may be owned through condominium ownership. Since 1980, there has been an increase in the building of condominiums. It is likely that these structures will consist of a mixture of rental and owner-occupied units. 1 Developers interviewed felt this type of real property ownership would be successful in Huntsville because it: 1 (1) provides an alternative for affordable individual home ownership; (2) provides an alternative housing source for Sam Houston State University students by giving their parents and/or relatives an opportunity to invest in a condominium during the duration of the ® student's tenure at school and then selling or renting the unit ® afterward; and (3) provides tax sheltered investments. 6-21 __� Private housing is fairly well distributed over the entire City. As a ' result it is difficult to pinpoint the specific factors influencing location of the housing in regard to public facilities and service such as ' public utilities, parks, schools and shopping centers. These factors are, however, all readily available within the City as are such services as fire ' and police protection and garbage (sanitation) pickup. Substandard Housing Substandard Housing is a condition that pervades all cities and all types of housing. Huntsville is no exception. Between 4% and 6% of the total occupied housing stock in Huntsville can be classified as substandard according to the 1980 Census of Housing. This statement is based on the following data pertaining to occupied housing units: 1 (1) 287 have no bathroom or just a half bathroom; (2) 87 lack complete kitchen facilities; and , (3) 27 lack hot water. In addition, approximately 9% of the vacant housing units can be classified as substandard. This was determined based on the fact that 60 ' of the vacant housing units had "no bathroom or only a half bathroom". ' Therefore, it may be concluded that approximately 5% to 6% of the total housing stock in Huntsville is substandard. Percentage ranges are given ' because there is no way to ascertain the amount of overlap in the deficiencies. ' 6-22 ' Based on Table 6-2, those neighborhoods with the highest substandard 1 housing units are: Code No. 017, Code No. 005, and Code No. 019. The other neighborhoods are equal to or less than the overall City substandard housing percentage of 6%. Map 6-5 shows the locations of the neighborhoods as well as their comparative substandard housing concentrations. Two of the neighborhoods designated above, Code No. 005 and Code No. 019, have high concentrations of low income minority populations. As a result, these areas are likely to retain a high percentage of substandard structures unless aid through federal programs is available to the City and strict ' code enforcement is exercised in dealing with vacant, dilapidated housing. HOUSING MARKET ANALYSIS The Housing Market Analysis will be based on statistical information found in the Huntsville Planning Information Document (HPID), the 1980 1 Census Data (U.S. Bureau of the Census), and information from the Texas Real Estate Research Center. There were two major problems with data accuracy involving the 1980 Census and the Huntsville Planning Information Document. First, both sources are using statistical information that is four years old. Second, neither data source was able to definitively separate the SHSU student population from the indigenous population when discussing demographics. Therefore, the information contained in both documents is not as accurate or as current as staff would like it to be. 6-23 Table 6-2 NEIGHBORHOOD SUBSTANDARD HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS OCCUPIED HOUSING Number with Number which Number No or Lack a Code No. Only aHalfoBath Complete Kitchen HotcWaterk SRangend%a;d 002 6 6 0 2%-3% 004 0 13 0 5%-3% 005 46 18 18 16%-20% 008 8 11 0 4%-5% rn a 011 6 4 0 2%-2% 012 8 0 0 3%-2% 014 0 5 0 017 156 5 0 54%-40% 018 18 0 0 6%-4% 019 39 25 9 10-18% City Total 287 87 27 r---� _.-----.---------.-._ _ � j NUNIS VI{{f 1 1 1 • 019 i \ r 1 1 0f7 CITY OF NUNTS Vf.LE,TEXAS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 1 MAP 6-5 SUBSTANDARD NEIGHBORHOODS RANKED MOST TO LEAST SUBSTANDARD 1 3 1 4 Date: April, 1980 5 Source: 1980 Census Data Neighborhood Statistics 1 6 Program t E-O5 The objective of the Housing Market Analysis was to project existing trends in housing to the year 2000 and estimate the impact of these trends ' on housing and the community. It contained a discussion of demographic characteristics, housing affordability, historical and current housing , trends and an estimate of future housing needs. ' Demographic Characteristics e Age Groups The three age groups most likely to have an impact on housing built over the next twenty years are those persons in the following age groups (cohorts), 18 to 29, 35 to 45, and 65 years of age or over. The 18 to 29 year old age group impacts housing in Huntsville to a great extent because ' the University student population is a large segment of this group. Over half of the University population lives off campus but resides in ' Huntsville. Therefore, there is a large demand for rental units. The number of persons per rental unit is usually at the maximum allowable by ' law to reduce occupant cost. As a result, off campus student housing can be characterized as rental in tenure; with structural design spanning multi-family to single family detached in design. Multi-family housing is e usually the high density variety with an emphasis on amenities, such as swimming pools, tennis courts, party rooms, and high technology kitchen conveniences. If single family detached, the housing will, typically, barely meet present building codes and be small in size with low rents. 1 Those 18 to 29 year olds that are not in college will tend to take on the housing characteristics of the 35 to 54 year old age group. 6-26 The 35 to 54 year old age group are projected to triple by the year 2000 which will account for the majority of the growth in population. Housing for the 35 to 54 year olds can be either rental or owner occupied in tenure and be of multi-family or single family detached design. Since this age group tends to be more settled in nature, the deciding factors on the type of housing are income, family size, lifestyle and personal preference. The types of housing and amenities to be built should reflect the trends in family characteristics at the time of construction. The 65 and over age group impacts housing in Huntsville due to their special needs. Housing for the 65 and over population group may vary from rental to owner occupied and structurally from single family detached to multi-family dwellings. Elderly persons in good health at the time of retirement will most likely live independently, whether they own their own home or rent. Those that are physically or mentally incapable of living by themselves either live with relatives or in nursing homes and retirement centers. There are three existing nursing homes in Huntsville. If all three nursing homes are still in operation in the year 2000, they should be able to accommodate all the elderly in need of the facilities. Housing for the financially incapable or those on fixed incomes is also a major problem since 2% of the total population and 21% of the 65 and 1 over population are below poverty level. If these percentages remain stable through the year 2000, the City will need a minimum of 282 publicly assisted housing units just for the elderly. 6-27 A variety of methods are available for providing housing for the ' elderly such as home equity conversions, shared housing, accessory apartments and Federally assisted housing. Home equity conversions allow an elderly home owner who has paid off the mortgage on his house to convert ' the equity of the house into cash to be paid in lump sum or monthly installments for a specified period of time. This enables the homeowner to ' do the necessary maintenance on the home and create an income supplement over a period of time. Shared housing involves the matching of elderly ' homeowners with elderly tenants. Each person in the house has a separate bedroom. This provides shelter for renters with fixed incomes and supplemental income for the homeowner along with the added benefit of ' companionship. Shared housing is usually organized by private non-profit agencies. Accessory apartments are separate, complete housekeeping units t that are substantially contained within the structure of a single-family ' unit, but can be isolated from it. The local government can make shared housing and accessory apartments available by accommodation through the ' regulatory building process. Publicly assisted housing is often Section 202 housing which is funded through a federal program and is utilized for ' elderly and handicapped. Presently 41 units of Section 202 housing are ' proposed for construction in Huntsville. Household Characteristics Family size in Huntsville is approximately 2.38 persons per dwelling , unit. There are more married couples without children than with children. ' A growing faction of single parent families as well as single person 6-28 ® households is being realized in Huntsville. Households of unrelated individuals appear to be popular but this seems to be an impact of the university student population rather than a change in household ® characteristics. ® Income ® Of all the factors involved in determining the types of housing to be built, income appears to be the most significant. For example, a household in Huntsville earning the median annual income (in 1979, $11,171.00) to qualify for a 95% home mortgage loan, no additional long term debt (a debt fpayment schedule greater than 10 months) can exist. If the example household could qualify for a loan, the maximum affordable monthly mortgage payment would be $227.90 per month. A monthly mortgage payment of approximately $227 per month allows for the purchase of a home priced at approximately $19,000. If a "stick built" house was not available which met their needs, the mobile home market or rental housing market would be ® their only viable alternatives. If the example household turned toward the rental market for shelter, they could afford a rent of $279.28 per month. There was a large deficiency of existing housing units with the monthly rent or mortgage payment range less than $239.00 as of 1980. As a result, 23% of the total households in Huntsville as of 1980 appeared to tpay more than 30% of their gross monthly income for a rental unit and may not have been able to purchase a house. There is a slight deficiency in the number of housing units in the monthly rent or mortgage payment range of $500.00/month or more but this deficiency is absorbed by the surplus of housing in the $240 to $438 monthly rent or mortgage payment range. 6-29 Therefore, the possibility of the example household with its $11,171.00 annual income finding a standard quality "stick built" or rental unit ' within their price limitations was slim in 1980. The majority of the-new construction since 1979 has been of rental ' tenure. It has not alleviated the deficiency in the monthly rent , or mortgage payment ranges less than $239.00, but it has created a sufficient number of vacant units costing more than $239.00 a month which will still necessitate the same 23% of the total households to expend more ' than 30% of their gross monthly income for rent. As a result, the possibilities of the example household finding a standard quality "stick built" or rental unit within their price limitations is still slim or none. The lower the household annual income below the median, the harder it was to qualify for loans or afford rents. Therefore, a large percentage of , those households earning below the median income who already own a house ' with small or no mortgage payments will not relocate regardless of the condition of the house. If limited income prevents standard home maintenance, deterioration may result in another structural contribution to the substandard housing problem. , A significant segment of those households with incomes below the 1 median income are 125% or more of poverty level. Approximately 977 households were found to be in need of some form of assisted housing but only 250 assisting housing units were provided through the local housing authorities. This left 727 households in need of some sort of assistance. Of the 977 households, 570 of them have individuals in the household qualifying for inclusion in the labor force. 6-30 , 1 Employment Opportunities The economy of Huntsville is, for all intents and purposes, the same eas the economy of Walker County. Therefore, the unemployment rates for Walker County are a reflection of Huntsville's unemployment rate. Walker County's unemployment rate has remained close to 3% since 1980 and ranks #3 ' for the lowest unemployment rate in the Houston-Galveston Area Council region. According to the Texas Employment Commission's (TEC) Huntsville representative in December 1983, employment opportunities are needed for unskilled labor and more recently for skilled labor for both sexes. More likely, this latter group consists of those laid off by oil related industries. ' The TEC also recommended that a Job Training Program would be of real benefit for first time job applicants and for those individuals in transition between jobs which utilize different skills. Solving the lack of employment opportunities for skilled and unskilled labor would be helping to implement a program to provide affordability of housing to those below the poverty level. Housing Affordability Rising housing cost is apparently the biggest and certainly the most publicized factor contributing to the affordability of housing. Local figures indicate that Huntsville is no exception to this trend. Though it is difficult to obtain accurate current and historic information on the sales prices of local housing, various other sources do suggest trends. For instance, the residential building permit information maintained by the 6-31 City reveals that the average value of a new single family residential structure has increased from $27,653 in 1973 to $59,560 in 1982. This dramatic increase is heightened by the fact that these figures are still not actual sales prices, nor do they include land costs. When compared to regional and national trends the local housing costs are somewhat less than the national average. Estimated average value of existing housing in Huntsville has climbed from $7,900 in 1960 to $13,000 in 1970, and to $46,309 in 1980. Though the estimated value of existing ' housing may be somewhat low due to the owner's underestimation of value, these trends are consistent with those for the cost of new housing. It does little good to discuss soaring prices without examining the factors behind this phenomenon. Two distinct types of factors involved are: (1) basic housing components, such as land,labor, material and financing , have grown more costly due to inflation; and (2) consumer preference. With regard to the basic housing components, the greatest increases have generally been with associated costs such as land, taxes, financing, insurance, utilities, maintenance and repair rather than with labor and material. Consumer preference in single family home buying seems to be a , quarter acre lot or more with a three bedroom 2-1/2 bath home of one or two stories. This seems to be true even with the decrease in persons per , household. Couples are buying for investment and use extra rooms for guest bedrooms or hobby rooms. There are very few in Huntsville, however, that can afford this type of house. 1 6-32 Historic and Current Housing Trends Historically, the single family detached house has been the most popular form of housing constructed in Huntsville. After 1960 the impact of this type of housing on the market significantly decreased, however. Although multi-family housing has always been available in Huntsville, its impact on the Huntsville Housing market remained relatively stable through the 1970 census. From 1970 to 1980 the number of multi-family units doubled due to an increase in the off campus student population and a migration of persons to the Huntsville labor force. This growth trend in multi-family housing units has continued since 1980L 1 Reasons for this growth trend are: (1) Impact of SHSU Master Plan. (2) Expansion of TDC Prison Units and Personnel. (3) Interest in apartments from tax shelter syndicators. (4) Growth of single person and single parent households. (5) More households being locked into rentals because of high purchase 1 costs. ' The trends in renter versus owner occupied tenure are hard to predict because of the many variables involved. Thus, tenure status seems to be directly related to economics as well as availability of housing in specific income ranges and length of stay in town. The new multi-family ' housing is not entirely rental in tenure. There is an increasing interest 1 in condominium ownership. This is consistent with the City's Land Use Plan which projected residential development inside the city limits to consist 1 6-33 largely of medium density to high density multi-family building types such as townhomes and apartments under rental or condominium ownership. Factors ' contributing to this trend are the high cost of providing water, sewer and street facilities, high land values, building construction costs, financing problems and the lack of easily developed land. The manufactured home, as a viable alternative to single family detached housing, has just entered its prime. The prices of manufactured housing present a viable alternative to home ownership for those earning less than $20,000 annually. It is safe to assume that the manufactured home will remain a popular form of housing in Huntsville as long as high , interest rates, high construction costs and high land costs continue for single family detached housing development. ' Future Housing Needs ' Having discussed existing housing and current trends in housing, it is ' appropriate to turn to the provision of future housing. In order to undertake such a task, some limitations must be understood. First, the projection is geographically limited to the City limits of Huntsville as it ' existed after the annexations of January 31, 1981. Additionally, all numbers are approximations since any projection has a percentage of error 1 involved. The actual types of housing to be built between now and the year 2000 will depend on the many factors previously discussed such as income 1 levels, land prices, financing levels and demographics. All of these factors are subject to change over the next 16 years. Finally, the analysis is based on the assumption that the existing occupied housing ' stock will remain in service through the year 2000. 6-34 1 1 Figure 6-2: FUTURE HOUSING NEEDS projects the overall number of 1 additional housing units needed to the year 2000. According to this 1 projection an additional 1,885 units must be built to house the expected -future population. Significantly, as a result of the recent spurt in 1 apartment development, most of the housing units needed for 1990 have already been provided. It should be understood, of course, that this 1 should be considered the minimum number ncessary to house the population. 1 Increases in various growth factors may create an even greater demand. Once the projected future needs are known, questions arise as to the 1 specific type of housing which will be provided and whether or not the City can accommodate the additional structures. It is impossible to accurately 1 project the residential structural types which will be built over the next 1 16 years. At best the existing residential mix, in percentages, based on the 1980 Census may be applied to total future housing needs and an 1 estimate obtained of the amount of housing of any structural type which may be provided. The amount of land area needed to accommodate such housing is 1 based upon the current density standards of the City (see Table 6-1, 1 Subdivision Design Standards). Table 6-3: FUTURE HOUSING UNITS BY STRUCTURE CATEGORY provides a 1 summary of the estimated housing needs by housing type based on 1980 1 conditions. According to this table, approximately 1,200 single family residential structures must be built in the next 16 years to provide 1 adequate housing for the expected population. Slightly over 1,000 additional apartment units are estimated to be needed for future occupancy. 1 Since January of 1983 over 1,000 apartment units have been permitted for 1 construction. If apartment construction continues a surplus of apartment 1 6-35 1 Figure 6-2 ' FUTURE HOUSING NEEDS ' 1980 Assumption: Population adequately housed in 1980 ' Population needing housing 15,213 Number of occupied housing units 6,558 ' 1990 Population needing housing: Off Campus Students 7,472 ' Indigenous Population +12,256 Persons per household 1980 19,728 =.2.38 ' Housing units needed 8,289 Existing Housing Units 6 558 ' 3r Residential Permits 5/80-12/80 - 59 Residential Permits 1981 -160 Residential Permits 1982 -437 ' Residential Permits 1983 -738 Residential Permits 1984 -258 t New Construction Needed by 1990 79 e 2000 Population needing housing: Off Campus Students 8,037 Indigenous Population 15,989 24,026 Persons per household =2.38 Housing Units Needed 10,095 ' Existing Housing United 1990 -8,289 New Construction Needed by 2000 1,806 TOTAL ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL HOUSING , UNITS NEEDED BY YEAR 2000 1,885 6-36 Table 6-3 PROJECTED HOUSING UNITS NEEDED FOR THE YEAR 2000 ' BY STRUCTURAL CATEGORY Maximum Housing Type Density Additional Urban Residenttiaia ---� l D.U./Acre D.U.

(2) 124 Townhomes permitted between January, 1982 and January, 1985. (3) 43 Duplexes or 86 Units permitted between January, 1982 and ' January, 1985. Note: On page 3-36 of the Land Use Section of the Comprehensive Plan, 1 it is stated that there would be 775 acres of additional land needed for residential land use by the year 2000 with no need for annexation if vacant land within city limits is developed. 6-37 1 units is likely. This may pose problems in the provision of other forms of ' housing in the future if rental prices become a factor in competing for ' residents. If current conditions continue, an additional 300 mobile homes may be ' expected to be located in Huntsville. It is likely, however, that mobile ' home residency is likely to continue to expand. If this occurs, the increased use of mobile homes as permanent residences may be at the expense ' of the standard "stickbuilt" family dwelling. ' There is more than enough acreage to accommodate residential development to the year 2000 using 1980 census housing type percentages. Of course, if single family detached housing were restricted to Estate ' tracts, there would not be enough acreage if residential development were confined to the 775 acres previously predicted for residential land use in ' the year 2000. If single family detached housing were on quarter acre tracts, there would be ample acreage if only 1223 units are built. As a result of the economic shifts of the past decade, the housing ' market is in a state of flux. Alternatives to the typical single family ' home are rapidly gaining acceptance in Huntsville. Condominium and townhouse ownership is providing housing opportunity to a previously ' ignored segment of the population. It seems likely that the eventual outcome will be one in which a greater variety of housing types are ' available to the population. ' 6-38 PROBLEMS IN HOUSING A Citizens Advisory Committee appointed by the Mayor of Huntsville met during the spring of 1982 to discuss the problems of existing housing. ® Their conclusions, divided out between long-term and short-term problems are provided in Tables 6-4 and 6-5. Table 6-4 LONG-TERM HOUSING PROBLEMS (1) Lack of collaboration between City and County concerning code enforcement of any kind. (2) Lack of housing for elderly and handicapped on fixed incomes who cannot afford standard housing in light of the elimination of substandard housing. (3) The potential of substandard housing developing as a result of ' haphazard enforcement of ordinances, design criteria, and codes due to political pressure and/or too few staff to adequately oversee the planning and building stages. Table 6-5 ' SHORT-TERM HOUSING PROBLEMS ® (1) Lack of or poor code enforcement and/or too few of the necessary staff members to enforce codes on deteriorating rental units. (2) Lack of or poor quality of public improvements (water, sewer, streets, lighting, etc.) to substandard housing areas. (3) Lack of inspections of single family homes or condominiums to evaluate if they meet City codes upon reselling unless finance agencies demand it or the homeowners request it. 6-39 1 VII CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT Introduction The Central Business District (CBD) is the center of the administra- tive and commercial activities of both the City and the County. ' Presently, these activities expand along two axes; an east-west axis, , or 11th Street, and a north-south axis, Sam Houston Avenue. The original Public Square, site of the County Courthouse, remains the ' principal focal point of the community. The area of greatest density expands out from the Public Square primarily within a two block area on both sides of Sam Houston Avenue and two blocks to the north and ' five blocks to the south of 11th Street. This is the central core of the CBD. ' Administrative activities in the CBD include the Post Office, the City ' Hall, Walker County Courthouse, Huntsville Public Library, Fire , Station No. 1, the Municipal Justice Center and the State Parole Board. Commercial activities include convenience shops, offices, banking establishments, restaurants, barber and beauty shops, dry goods and grocery stores along with service stations, agriculturally ' oriented businesses, automobile repair shops, used car lots, furniture ' stores, appliance stores, building supplies, warehouses and truck, bus and railroad terminals. ' 7-1 1 ' The Central Business District Committee, a group of citizens appointed by the City Council to provide public input into the planning process, recommended establishing the boundaries of the CBD according to physical barriers. The boundaries of the CBD were established, there- fore, as the HISD property to the north, the TDC property to the east, the SHSU campus to the south, and Avenue N to the west. Avenue N was designated as a boundary line due to the belief that the residential neighborhoods adjacent to that street are stable enough to withstand commercial intrusion for the next twenty years (the planning period of this study). Existing Conditions Development in the CBD has followed the usual pattern of municipal- ities whose core areas were developed around a public square. Typically, structures in the core area are small (often twenty-five feet wide) with common walls between adjacent structures. Many structures date to before the turn of the century; only limited modernization of these store fronts has occurred in .recent years. Expanding out from this core area, is a diverse group of buildings; mostly commercial in nature that comprise the bulk of the CBD. MAP 7-1: EXISTING LAND USE graphicly presents the characteristics of development in the Central Business District. As can be readily seen from this map, commercial development is predominate; especially ® 7-2 \ N ISBN , . "EmEsm OWN CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT PLAN LA14D USE CODE MAP 7-1 EXISTING LAND USE CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS COMMERCIAL \\ PARK/OPEN SPACE NOVEMBER 1983 RESIDENTIAL � = VACANT SEMII-PUBLIC PARKING LOT ��\ Q adjacent to the main thoroughfares. Towards the northeast and the southwest sections of the CBD, residential land uses may still be ' found. Much of this residential land use, however, is in apartment dwellings. Very limited off-street parking facilities are to be found in the CBD except in connection with the newer structures such as the two banking establishments and the three strip shopping centers; two of which are on Sam Houston Avenue and one on University Avenue. Traffic within and through the area is heavy throughout the day and considerable confusion and congestion is apparent during the business hours due mainly to parking maneuvers, the necessity of having through traffic routed over the principal streets and the concentrated nature of the CBD's building arrangement. Parking practices and policies need to be better related to parking supply and demand and future off-street parking facilities will need to be provided if continued development within the CBD is desired. The central core of downtown Huntsville is, by nature, a pedestrian center. People congregate in this area as they walk from one shop to another and move from one building to another. The method used to guide and transport this foot traffic is the sidewalk system. The existing sidewalk system varies in condition from very good to poor to non-existent. Further, the continuity of the sidewalk system is broken at the intersections with pedestrian/vehicular conflicts. A more efficient linking of the numerous uses and activities in the CBD 7-4 1 would make walking a more efficient and pleasant experience. Additionally, enhancement of the pedestrian system may be gained through the introduction of street furniture, landscaping and other design features. - Automobile circulation is an important aspect to the CBD. Access to and movement within the downtown contribute to its overall character and workability. As a major traffic generator, the CBD is a point of destination for a great deal of city traffic. Circulation is impeded S by congestion arising from present practices of on-street parking, inadequate traffic control, lack of traffic channelization at inter- sections and the intermixing of vehicular traffic with pedestrian traffic. The CBD is based on a rigid grid system. This allows primary access from a variety of streets. A number of north-south and east-west streets that are basically residential in design provide the principal access to the core area. Instead of these streets being the peripheral feeders of automobile traffic to the area, they actually dump all of the traffic directly into the very center of the CBD. Additionally, these streets carry through traffic across the central e core to the various sections of town. Characteristics such as traffic volumes, accidents and turning move- ments contribute to the flow of traffic in the CBD. These charac- teristics provide further insight into the assessment of the downtown ' 7-5 1 1 circulation system. As a traffic generator, the CBD has through 1 traffic as well as internal vehicular movement. Further, traffic flow 1patterns, especially two-way streets, result in an excessive number of vehicular turning and moving conflicts at intersections. This condi- 1 tion is also complicated by pedestrian movement through the intersec- tions. A reduction of turning movement conflicts will improve traffic 1 flow and safety. 1 Problems and Assets 1 A survey was conducted by the members of the Central Business District 1 Committee to determine what problems existed in the CBD. Merchants 1 operating in the area were given a list of questions concerning their operations and problems they felt existed in the CBD. After 1 considering the responses of the merchants, the CBD Committee was able to define a list of problems of the CBD. TABLE 7-1: CBD PROBLEMS 1 contains this list of problem areas. The Committee went one step 1 further, however, identifying a number of assets existing in the CBD; these assets are listed in TABLE 7-2: POTENTIAL CBD ASSETS. 1 1 i 1 t 7-6 1 I.

TABLE 7-2 POTENTIAL CBD ASSETS Traffic Circulation ' The existing streets in the CBD were laid out and built when traffic - volumes were very low. Through the years they have served the area quite well; however traffic has increased to a point where many of these streets are no longer able to handle the demand placed on them. ' The result has been an increase in congestion, delay and traffic accidents. As the City continues to grow, these problems may be ' expected to increase. Many of these problems can be eliminated or reduced by major street ' widening and construction programs. Improvements of this type, how- ever, require extensive capital expenditures and, in many cases, the cost would be prohibitive. Additionally, it is doubtful whether or not sufficient right of way exists in Huntsville's CBD to allow for ' widening of the streets. Instead, the most feasible alternative is to get the most efficient use out of the existing streets. This can be done by using various traffic management techniques, ' such as increasing street and intersection capacity, parking improve- ' ments and modernizing signs, traffic signals and pavement markings. 1 These are relatively low-cost measures that can improve traffic flow, reduce delay and congestion and improve safety. ' 1 7-9 Street Capacity 1 Street capacity is a measure of a street's ability to accommodate a stream of moving vehicles. Factors that tend to limit the capacity of a street include lane width (less than 12 feet), lateral clearance (objects set close to street right-of-way), pavement conditions, alignment, grades, frequency of large truck traffic (one large truck equals two cars), traffic flow variations and traffic interruptions. Traffic interruptions are most prevalent at intersections. Intersec- tion delays are a principal cause of congestion and reduced travel time on two-way streets. Two highly successful methods of increasing street capacity through reductions in traffic interruptions are limit- ing left-hand or cross-traffic turns and development of a one-way street system. The overall objective of both limiting left hand turns and one-way streets is to redirect traffic and traffic maneuver to streets or intersections better able to handle the particular maneuver. Limiting of left-hand turns tends to redirect drivers to other streets or less congested intersections on the same street. Possible sites 1 for prohibition of left-hand turns are shown on Map 7-2: CBD CIRCULATION, PROPOSED NO-LEFT TURN INTERSECTIONS. Another type of traffic interruption in the CBD is on-street loading and unloading of delivery trucks. This is most prevalent and most 7- 10 LL cJ — L-�E _ e — I j r-- i •• _J __ i i j . +'i 1— --- r i am ue —T 1.rr�� F---'-F--_ � ��1-_ - •�_ 1 I r- .•..

Repeated observation has found that deliveries often occur at periods of peak traffic flow such as 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Unfortunately, Huntsville has not taken advantage of the use of alleys at the rear of some commercial buildings for loading and unloading purposes. As a matter of fact alleys as such do not exist in downtown Huntsville. There are some driveways functioning as alleys, it is true, but these are privately owned and serve primarily as access to off-street parking areas. Two alternatives are available to the City in addressing the problem of on-street loading and unloading of trucks. The first alternative a is to regulate loading and unloading of trucks on the street. This ' alternative could range from outright prohibition of on-street loading/unloading to designation of specific times and locations for such activities. The second alternative involves establishing a system of alleyways through the blocks surrounding the Courthouse square. This would require close cooperation between the City and the individual property owners to be feasible. It is unlikely, however, that all commercial establishments would be able to take advantage of an alleyway system if it were provided due to lack of rear access. 7-12 1 1 Another method of increasing street capacity is through a system of one-way streets. A one-way street system may increase the capacity of the streets from 20 to 50 percent over their capacity as two-way streets as a result of reducing intersection delays and providing additional lanes for turning maneuvers. Further, such a system can t materially reduce the number of conflict points between vehicles and between vehicles and pedestrians. There are 32 vehicular conflict ' points at an intersection of two two-way streets. There are only 5 ' conflict points at the intersection of two one-way streets. pa Additionally, one-way street systems generally reduce overall travel ' time from between 10 to 50 percent. This is due to the reduction of delays created by turning vehicles at intersections. Traffic signals can also be better timed for progressive traffic flow. Accidents may ' be expected to decrease from 10 to 40 percent, despite a slight increase in traffic volume. Finally, improved traffic movement and increased safety generally produce broad economic benefits.both to adjacent land owners and the general public. Studies made in various parts of the U. S. have generally tended to disprove the concern by affected business owners that one-way streets adversely affect trade. Moreover, where one-way systems have once been implemented, many , businessmen formerly opposed to the plan have become staunch supporters. ' The most likely streets to form an eventual one-way street system are show on MAP 7-3: CBD CIRCULATION, ONE WAY STREET SYSTEM. Immediate implementation of the entire system may not be practical, however. 1 7- 13 1 m 0 ! _ m 0 ® AV P ' E.

Actual phasing and implementation can best be determined ' according to need based on the following guidelines: 1. Develop one-way streets in pairs, preferrably of equal length. ' This will help provide for balanced flow in both directions. 2. Develop one-way streets in usable lengths. Short sections of , one-way streets, usually a block or two long, should be avoided ' since they tend to create confusion and disrupt traffic flow. 3. Carefully consider the terminal points. One-way streets should not be ended at major cross-streets or intersections. Instead, e they should extend on as far as possible. Street patterns in which two streets join in a Y-pattern readily lend themselves to one-way designation while streets in a classic grid-iron patterns are likely to end at a four-way intersection. 4. Consider the impact of future expansion of the system. When looking at a prospective one-way street, be sure to consider the e entire length of the street and its effect on intersecting streets. ' 7-15 Parking t One of the primary reasons for congestion in the downtown area of a city is inadequate or inefficient parking facilities. This problem has continually been identified, directly or indirectly, by study participants, merchants and property owners, city officials and survey respondents as being central to the question of downtown. The recent removal of parking meters and the establishment of a system of time- controlled parking has abated the problem to some degree but has not solved it. To properly analyze the problem of parking in the CBD, a full-scale parking facilities study should be conducted. Such a study was conducted for the CBD in Huntsville in 1979 by Lockwood, Andrews and Newnam, Inc. for their Traffic Enqineerinq Plan. Among the parking characteristics studied was the existing curb usage, 1 parking space usage and duration and current parking practices of the public. The study resulted in the following findings: (1) The present (1979) on-street parking supply in the CBD is ade- quate to serve current on-street parking needs. (2) Occupancy of on-street parking spaces is low. Regulated spaces are occupied 55 percent of the time,and unregulated spaces are occupied 43 percent of the time. An occupancy rate of about 80 ' percent is more desirable. (3) About 68 percent of the parkers park for 30 minutes or less. 7-16 (4) Parking turnover is very low. Present turnover for regulated ' spaces averages 4.8 vehicles per space per day. A turnover rate of about 8 vehicles per space per day is desirable. e (5) At several locations, vehicles were parked on City property ' between the curb line and property line. Many of these locations were without curb and gutter or were unused driveways. ' (6) In several locations, regulated parking spaces and unrestricted , parking spaces are adjacent to or interspersed with each other in the same block. ' Based upon the above findings, LAN made six recommendations to the ' City on improving downtown parking. Two of the suggestions concerned parking meter timing and charges and are, therefore, no longer , applicable. The remaining recommendations were: , (1) Curb and gutter should be installed along abandoned driveways and , other locations where vehicles presently park between the edge of pavement and property line. (2) Regulated parking spaces and unrestricted parking spaces should be separated. This can be accomplished by making the spaces along any one block face uniform, either all regulated or all 1 unregulated. (3) At the present time, only regulated parking spaces are marked with lines on the pavement. Unrestricted curb-parking spaces ' 1 7-17 1 within the CBD should also be marked. Pavement markings and stall dimensions should conform to the standards set out in the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. (4) Parking stalls should be enlarged to make them easier to get into and out of. Parallel stalls can be made longer and angle stalls made wider. The actual size will depend on the available space in each block. Although this may result in the loss of a few parking spaces, the adequate supply of parking spaces in the CBD area will easily absorb this minor loss. In addition to LAN's recommendations, the following suggestions are also offered for improving the availability and convenience of parking 1 in the CBD: (1) adequate parking within a reasonable walking distance (approximately 200 feet) for customers, clients and employees should be provided; (2) employees should be assigned the most distant parking spaces to insure maximum customer convenience; (3) provide direct visibility between parking spaces and parker destinations; (4) provide directional signs to indicate to the motorist where parking is available; 7-18 1 (5) improve and reorganize 'parking areas to the rear of buildings for ' greater efficiency and utilization; ' (6) insure the comfort and safety of persons utilizing parking areas ' by providing landscaped, lighted pedestrian accessways. ' To determine the amount of existing parking available to the public in the CBD, an inventory of both public and private parking facilities ' was conducted in January 1984. The first count found that 2,905 ' spaces exist, 506 of which are on-street or in the public parking lots provided by the City. The specific data related to each block is ' shown in TABLE 7-3: CBD PARKING INVENTORY. The location of the blocks are shown in MAP 7-4: CBD PARKING INVENTORY. ' It is in the downtown area, referred to as "The Square" that parking ' problems are most acute. According to the CBD Parking Inventory, the following parking exists in the eight blocks that constitute the Square: ' on-street parking (public) - 271 off-street parking (public) - 26 ' off-street parking (private) - 644 While on-street parking comprises only 29 percent of the parking ' available around The Square, it is significant in that it is by and large the only customer parking. Most of the remaining 670 spaces are ' used primarily by downtown employees. It can easily be foreseen that as traffic continues to grow on Sam Houston Avenue that either a ' 7-19 center turn lane will be needed or an additional traffic lane. The ® only space available to provide for such expansion is the space devoted to on-street parking. Ultimately, on-street parking on Sam Houston Avenue will have to be prohibited. The same is true, although ® to a lesser extent, of 11th Street between Sam Houston Avenue and Avenue J. If or when parking is prohibited on these two streets, 48 Parking spaces will be lost on Sam Houston Avenue and 22 on 11th Street. In order to provide for the continued growth and development of downtown, it is apparent that, at a minimum, 70 additional off- street parking spaces must be provided in the future. ' A long range parking program, based upon providing both long-term and short-term parking, should be developed by the City in cooperation with the downtown property owners and merchants. Such a program would differentiate between the location of long-term satellite parking areas and short-term convenience parking. Satellite parking areas ' . should be located around the periphery of the developed area but within convenient walking distance while the short-term convenience parking should be located adjacent to the intended service areas. ' Long-term satellite parking should be designated for use by downtown employees or persons visiting downtown for the day. The lots should be restricted on a contract or lease basis, privately owned or leased by businesses, or publicly owned and operated for the general public. Short-term parking will most likely combine off and on-street parking. The location and amount of convenient short-term parking spaces should -7-20 1 1 be correlated with shopping, customer service, banking, offices and other customer and client related establishments. Provision of such short-term parking should be considered an important element in the ' redevelopment process of-downtown. Advocacy by the City for long-term solutions to the downtown parking problems will prove invaluable. ' Adherence to the off-street parking requirements of the building code is mandatory. Instead of reductions in parking requirements for new construction or major remodeling efforts downtown, alternative methods ' of providing parking spaces should be offered such as participation in multiple owner parking lots and garages, municipal/private co- financing of parking lots and payment-in-lieu of parking to the City to create a fund for providing additional public parking. Further measures to provide off-street parking should also be ' encouraged. The under used interior portions of blocks could be adapted to parking, especially employee parking. Additionally, property owners who own several adjacent lots or lots throughout downtown could take a more area-wide approach to providing parking. Adjacent lots could be combined with parking spread among the total ' area. Lots separated from each other but within convenient walking distance (no more than 500 feet) could share parking facilities. And finally, the City should encourage the adaptation of all vacant, ' undeveloped downtown lots into off-street parking areas. e 7-21 ' i TABLE 7-3 1PUBLIC PARKING PRIVATE PARKING OVERALL LOCATION ON-STREET OFF-STREET TOTAL GENERAL USE ASSIGNED TOTAL TOTAL COURTHOUSE SQ. 19 19 15 4 19 38 BLOCK 1 26 26 46 15 61 87 BLOCK 2 16 16 105 105 121 BLOCK 3 32 11 43 57 21 78 121 BLOCK 4 26 26 29 49 78 104 BLOCK 5 49 49 45 13 58 107 BLOCK 6 45 45 13 113 126 171 BLOCK 7 34 34 26 27 53 87 BLOCK 8 24 24 46 35 81 105 BLOCK 9 14 14 15 30 25 39 BLOCK 10 21 21 21 BLOCK 11 39 39 39 BLOCK 12 20 33 5353 BLOCK 13 15 15 128 128 143 BLOCK 14 30 10 120 120 130 BLOCK 15 30 30 30 BLOCK 16 49 49 0 G9 BLOCK 17 22 22 115 115 137 BLOCK 18 47 47 47 BLOCK 19 8 8 49 49 57 BLOCK 20 8 8 202 57 2590 260 BLOCK 21 BLOCK 22 15 15 125 125 140 BLOCK 23 73 73 73 BLOCK 24 72 72 72 BLOCK 29 25 25 40 40 65 BLOCK 30 21 21 30 30 51 BLOCK 31 6 6 22 15 37 43 BLOCK 32 27 27 25 25 52 BLOCK 33 40 40 40 BLOCK 35 17 20 37 37 BLOCK 36 40 40 40 BLOCK 44 95 95 95 BLK 45 26 26 26 BLOCK 46 43 43 43 BLOCK 47 0 0 BLOCK 48 4 4 165 165 169 BLOCK 49 0 BLOCK 56 6 6 6 6 BLOCK 57 0 0 BLOCK 58TOTO 0 AL 495 1 506 792 607 2399 2905 C B D PARKING INVENTORY 7=22 ve 12 =� 4-T I I II Sam Houston Avenue Universit Avenue N I ' W (D (D N (D I N --- fD + ve J (Dm m m --i L + + { N Z 3411 i 20 / ♦ -- I MAP 7-4: CBD PARKING INVENTORY CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT PLAN City of Huntsville, Texas BLOCK NUMBER January 1984 Pedestrian Circulation A pedestrian circulation system is presented in Map 7-5. The plan presents a concept for the development of a walking system downtown. The plan is designed to improve the walking experience downtown as well as link existing and proposed commercial areas with the other activity centers in or adjacent to the CBD. The system, while relying heavily on the existing sidewalk system, is proposed to be the thread of continuity for downtown. The plan con- tains such features as the utilization of internal portions of the block for pedestrian activity and providing improved pedestrian circu- lation through construction and reconstruction of sidewalks. Urban Design The overall appearance of the CBD, in regards to its buildings, open areas and beautification, is of great importance to the economic and functional success of the district. Through the arrangement of well ' designed buildings with open spaces and landscape treatment, the provision of adequate, uncongested circulatory movement of vehicular traffic, and the construction of an ample amount of convenient automo- bile parking facilities, the customer appeal and business efficiency of the district can be materially supplemented.

Signalized Crosswal ks for the adaptation and redevelopment of the CBD to meet future commer- cial demands and to preserve this high value district. The basic principles of planning that are embodied in many of the new concepts for central business district redevelopment are: 1. A consolidation of business and professional buildings sur- rounded by extensive automobile off-street parking areas. 2. The proportion of land devoted to automobile parking far exceeds the area covered by commercial buildings. 3. Buildings are usually grouped well within the site and surrounded by automobile parking, the parking ratio often being three to five times more than a unit of retail or office floor space. ' 4. Traffic ingress and egress, interior movement and circulation are 1 given very careful consideration. 1 5. The arrangement of parking facilities is such that short walking distances are maintained between the parking areas and commercial buildings, usually a maximum of 300 feet. ' 6. Buildings are conveniently arranged with architectural control and design and pleasing appearance, accessible by pedestrian walkways which separates pedestrian and vehicular traffic move- ment. Attractive landscape plots are developed in the open spaces, along sides of streets, to provide a restful and pleasant tatmosphere where people can shop and conduct business. 7-26 1 1 1 For Huntsville's CBD to function adequately and be maintained as the center of attraction for commercial trade and general business in ' future years, some of these planning concepts must eventually be ' introduced in a practical and reasonable redevelopment program. It is not practical, nor would it be economically feasible, to completely ' redevelop this area to conform to all the concepts of planning now employed in the design of shopping centers. An attempt, however, has ' been made to incorporate those design principles that are applicable to Huntsville. This was done with the intent of preserving those characteristics and attributes of the present business area and utilizing as much of the present framework and facilities as would be appropriate in a more functional arrangement. A more functional arrangement of the CBD will incorporate the ' following general features: 1. Maximum utilization of present streets within the area for better circulation and relief of traffic congestion. , 2. Consolidation of off-street parking into larger, more advantag- eous facilities for ease of access to traffic facilities and within reasonable walking distance of retail and business ' destinations. ' 3. Recognition of the primary function of principal streets as , traffic-carrying arteries, with street parking as a secondary function. 7-27 ' 4. Recognition of short-term parking and provision of adequate facilities for each in proper places. 5. Overall effective traffic circulation within the CBD with provisions for local business traffic, and a better means of ingress and egress via connections with radial arteries in the proposed transportation system. 6. Separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, where possible, to provide for more efficient, safe and pleasant circulation of both types of movement. 7. A generally appealing environment, with pedestrian areas as free as possible from traffic hazards, retention of present open areas ® and general beautification with landscape treatment. 8. Consolidation of land uses and building areas in as large blocks as possible. 9. Development of overall arrangement which is feasible, economical and capable of achievement in stages, utilizing present facilities and general patterns of land usage, open space and streets. Of particular importance is to maintain the "Marketable Mix". That is, development should build on, amplify and expand upon the existing land uses, services and facilities already available in the downtown. 7-28 1 The mix should consist of government, financial institutions, entertainment, housing, offices and retail sales activities. Such a ' mix offers the greatest likelihood of successful redevelopment. Of vital importance to the success of this plan is the City's concept of its role in the evolution of downtown. Does the City see itself, along with the merchants and property owners as having an economic ' stake in the development of downtown? Or, does it see itself in a passive role as simply a guide to the developer through the ' governmental processes? In order for this plan to be successful, the ' City must act as the primary agent for change. It alone has control of all the elements necessary for change such as the power of condem- nation, the ability to provide access and road improvements and public parking. City government must provide the leadership to marshall its , resources to this plan. 1. Recommendations to Improve Traffic Flow ' It is recommended that the following traffic flow improvements be undertaken to increase the traffic flow as well as protect the overall ' safety of the motorist. ' 1.10 Sam Houston Avenue ' 1.11 Acquire the right-of-way to connect Sam Houston Avenue from 7th Street to Thomason Street. This will provide 1 Sam Houston with the most direct possible access to FM 247 and FM 2821 and allow traffic to continue on Sam ' Houston rather than transferring to either Avenue M or ' 7-29 University Avenue. Sam Houston Avenue should be reconstructed from 11th Street to University Avenue according to the C1 (Collector) Street Standards. See 1 MAP 7-3 for general location. 1.12 Reduce the confusion, congestion and potential danger of the intersection of 17th Street and Sam Houston Avenue. The short range solution to this problem is the installation of individual turn movement indicators on all four sides of the intersection and pedestrian signals. The long range solution is to work with SHSU to acquire sufficient additional right-of-way to properly align 17th Street. This should be undertaken in concert with the University's plan for redevelopment of that part of the campus. See Diagram 7-1. 1.13 Prohibit parking on the east side of Sam Houston Avenue south of 13th Street adjacent to Huntsville National Bank (see Diagram 7-1) to provide room for establishment of a left turn lane. Designation of the left turn lane should follow the standard adopted by the Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation (see Diagram 7-2). 1 On-street parking at this site is unnecessary due to the off-street parking available at the bank. Further, this on-street parking often interferes with traffic making 1 right hand turns from Sam Houston Avenue onto 13th Street. 7-30 1.20 University Avenue 1.21 Create a 3-way center turn lane at the intersection of ' University Avenue and 13th Street. To accomplish this, ' - parking should be prohibited on University south of 13th Street. For details see Diagram 7-1. ' 1.22 Redesignate the parking on the west side of University ' north of its intersection with 13th Street as parallel instead of angle for the area approximately 100 feet ' north from the intersection. For details see Diagram 7-1. 1.23 Provide designated (striped) parallel parking along ' University Avenue between 15th Street and 17th Street. Presently no striping exists which results in mixed parking often leading to conflicts between traffic moving ' along the street and a vehicle attempting to back out. 1.30 10th Street , Request that the the newspaper boxes be removed from 10th ' Street where they create conflicts with traffic. l'hey are located adjacent to a no-parking area. 1.40 13th Street ' 1.41 Prohibit parking along the south side of 13th Street from ' 100 feet west of Avenue M to Sam Houston Avenue. This will require additional prohibition of parking only from ' Avenue M West.

Additionally, parked cars near the intersection force vehicles traveling east towards Avenue M into the opposing lane of traffic. This has caused ques to develop, further aggravating the situation. t 1.42 Create a center turn lane from approximately 150 feet ' west of Sam Houston Avenue to approximately 150 feet east of University Avenue. This will benefit not only those motorists desiring to turn from 13th Street to either ' University Avenue or Sam Houston Avenue but also those motorists seeking access to adjacent commercial establishments. To accomplish this, prohibition of parking on the both , sides of 13th Street between Sam Houston Avenue and , University Avenue may be necessary. The bank adjacent to this location, however, has provided ample parking as has ' the adjacent office building. Observations of the on- ' street parking has shown a low occupancy rate; often spaces are used by persons with banking business who do , not attempt to park in the off-street facilities. For further details see Diagram 7-1. 1.43 If Avenue M remains a two-way street, a signal light ' should be installed at its intersection with 13th Street. The increasing use of 13th Street for traffic moving 7-33 u - I I I I I I I Y r o t 3 T Lam' I I_ Diagram 7-2 Typical Lane Control MarF:ings Source: Texas 'danual of Uniform Traffic �ontrol Devices 7-34 1 between Avenue 0 and Avenue M or Sam Houston Avenue is , creating problems with cross traffic. This will allow more cross traffic movement while not adversely affecting ' traffic flow on Avenue M. As traffic increases on Avenue , M, it will be necessary to undertake an analysis of each intersection on the street to determine possible future ' actions by the City. 1.50 It is recommended that parking be prohibited along the south side of 16th Street from approximately 150 feet west of Avenue , M to University Avenue and that curbing be constructed from Sam Houston Avenue westward to reduce head-in on-street parking at the restaurant at that corner (see also Recommendation 3.20). ' Due to the lack of east-west arteries in the City this street has developed into a major thoroughfare, on-street parking will increasingly become a major traffic problem with the area on 16th Street between Sam Houston Avenue and Avenue M as the , center of congestion. The intersection of 16th Street and ' Avenue M should continue to be monitored and if traffic warrants it, a four way stop established. ' 2. Recommended Actions to Provide Adequate Parking ' It is recommended that the City undertake the following actions , relating to providing adequate parking in the CBD: 7-35 2.10 Regulated parking spaces and unrestricted parking spaces should 1 be separated. This can be accomplished by making the spaces along any one block face uniform, either all regulated or all unregulated. 2.20 At the present time, only regulated parking spaces are marked with lines on the pavement. Unrestricted curb-parking spaces within the CBD should also be marked. This would be especially ' useful in controlling parking along such streets as University Avenue north of 16th Street. 2.30 Encourage the improvement and reorganization of parking areas in the CBD to the rear of buildings, where feasible, for greater efficiency and utilization. 2.40 Provide directional signs to indicate to the motorist where parking in the CBD is available. 2.50 Insure the comfort and safety of persons utilizing parking areas by providing landscaped, lighted pedestrian accessways. This may also encourage more night time activities in the CBD. 2.60 Adherence to the off-street parking requirements of the building code should be mandatory. Instead of reductions in parking requirements for new construction or major remodeling ' efforts downtown, alternative methods of providing parking spaces should be offered such as participation in multiple owner parking lots and garages, municipal/private co-financing 7-36 1 of parking lots and payment-in-lieu of parking to the City to create a fund for providing additional public parking. 2.70 County employees should be encouraged to utilize County- ' provided off-street parking. ' 3. Recommendations Concerning Driveways and Curb Lines 3.10 At the time of reconstruction of a street, existing driveways should be reviewed individually and, wherever feasible, reconstructed to the City's current size and placement criteria ' as contained in the Building Code. 3.20 Curb and gutter should be installed along abandoned driveways and other breaks in the curb line which confuse motorists and lend themselves to hazardous parking situations. An example is , the north side of 16th Street at Sam Houston Avenue. 4. General Recommendations ' 4.10 It is recommended that the pedestrian circulation system be improved and expanded according to MAP 7-5 PEDESTRIAN ' CIRCULATION SYSTEM. It must be recognized that a customer must first become a pedestrian and that it is impossible to create ' sufficient parking in front of every business for maximum convenience of the shopper. Longer walking distances for the pedestrian shopper are inevitable. Therefore, it is recommended that the City, through its Capital Improvements 7-37 Program, institute a long term program of construction, 1 reconstruction and rehabilitation of the sidewalk and crosswalk system in the CBD. 4.20 It is recommended that the City, through its Building Code, require construction of sidewalks at the time of development of a lot if such facilities are shown on the adopted Pedestrian Circulation System Map. The City should participate in this endeavor through development and adoption of a sidewalk extension participation policy. Existing Commercial establishments should be encouraged to participate also in the provision of sidewalks. 4.30 It is recommended that the City initiate a program to place directional signs in the CBD, especially where advance notice of no left turns is necessary. Signs should direct motorists to the major traffic generators such as the Courthouse, SHSU, and Sam Houston Park, as well as to public parking areas. Signage should also be used to divert through vehicles around the downtown area and, where turning movements are restricted, to alternate streets. 4.40 It is recommended that the landscaping plan for the Downtown Square proposed in "The City of Huntsville Downtown Study" should be extended throughout the CBD. 7-38 1 5. Recommended for Further Study ' 5.10 It is recommended that a task force composed of representatives ' of the City, Gulf States Utilities, Huntsville Telecable and Southwestern Bell Telephone be created to develop a plan for the eventual removal of all overhead utility lines from Sam Houston Avenue, 11th Street and around the Court House Square. Alternatives to the present system include underground , installation and service from the rear of the lots. These two streets serve as the major "doors" to the City and should ' present a pleasing vista to visitors as well as residents. 5.20 It is recommended that the City undertake a study to determine ' the feasibility of signalized "no left turns" during rush hour ' traffic at the intersection of 11th Street and University Avenue. 5.30 It is recommended that a joint City, County and Postal Service Committee be appointed to develop a plan for alleviating the ' traffic congestion around the Post Office. This is the most critical traffic problem in the CBD. ' 5.40 It is recommended that a task force be established to develop a ' plan for reducing the impact of on-street loading and unloading of delivery trucks in the CBD. This task force should consist , of City personnel, concerned business persons in the CBD and representatives of the trucking companies.

He noted this will have a large impact on our water systems. Advised the Council of the plans to construct a reservoir on Bedias Creek, which he termed to be a "premium watershed."

He displayed a map of the area for the Council's benefit. He noted this reservoir would serve as a surface water supply for Madisonville, Bedias and Iola and that it would encompass some 13,000 acres, 181,000 acre feet and would yield 95.9 mgd. Councilmember Monday noted the Council's interest in water quality. Councilmember King requested that Mr. Randle keep the City Manager, Gene Pipes, informed as to where the City should be on this as the project develops. Mayor flash thanked Mr. Randle for this presentation and recognized Mr. Bob Hardy, President of the Trinity River Authority, present in the Chambers. Mr. Nash noted the City's interest in future water for the community and advised the City has been aware of the Bedias Creek reservoir and has discussed it with the TRA. Mr. Randle asked if the Council would consider passing a Resolution this evening in support of the Bedias s Creek Reservoir. Mayor a ayo Nash noted the Council only knows generalities on the project at this point and would not be prepared to pass a Resolution until it has more specifics. However, I he asked the staff to prepare an appropriate resolution for the Council's consideration. i CITY MANAGER'S REPORT 'Audit Report from Briedenthal & Reynolds RECORDS SERIES TITLE: Ordinances, Orders, Resol SCHEDULE NO. : 1000-05 CONTENTS OF FILE: Resolution 83-2 Supports State Highway Funding RESOLUTION NO. 83-2 CITY OF HUNTSVILLE RESOLUTION: State Highway Funding The 72,000-mile Texas highway system,once recognized as the best in the nation,is deteriorating.According to studies of the Federal Highway Administra- tion,Texas has 17,200 deficient bridges and 7,740 miles of highway rated in poor condition.Motorists in all parts of the state are suffering a continuing loss of mobility. Major problems have been observed on Farm to Market roads, rural primary highways,Interstate routes,and urban freeways. Current funding sources available to the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation are inadequate to maintain the existing highway system and to improve the system to keep up with the growth of the state.It is estimated that the state's population will increase 50%by the year 2000.This anticipated growth will place substantially higher demands on the state's trans- portation facilities and services. We urge the 68th Texas Legislature to act expeditiously to provide addi- tional funding for highway construction and maintenance.We recommend that the level of state funding for highways be at least equivalent to defined state highway user fees and taxes.We further recommend that the state highway user fees be increased if necessary to meet the highway funding needs documented in the revised 20-Year Plan of the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation. / Adopted By (org##tion) ) Attested by: C Cwt William V.

Huntsville's current transportation system was examined, identifying existing strengths, weaknesses and future needs. The basic transportation modes affecting the area (air, bus, rail and automobile) were analyzed to determine their current and future levels of efficiency. An examination and evaluation was made of the City's overall street and highway network, identifying the present and potential problem areas, major traffic generators, the geometric nature of the network and existing signalization schemes. In addition, existing freight and passenger transit services were identified and examined. Thoroughfares The thoroughfare system of a city is the principal means of movement of people and goods. The streets and highways that comprise this system are the carriers in this network. Their capacity is determined by size, condition, routing and land usage to be served. A thoroughfare system consumes large quantities of land and requires great amounts of the 4-1 community-s income to construct and maintain. The system must, therefore, be understood as basically established to serve one purpose - - movement of people and goods between all parts of the community. For the purpose of this study, the thoroughfare system in Huntsville has been classified according to the function terminolo and to commonly applied yY• The classifications are as follows: Expressways - a divided multi-lane arterial street designed for rapid unimpeded movement of large volumes of traffic with full control of access and grade separations at intersections. Expressways are not intended to provide direct access to adjoining land. Arterials - streets that serve major traffic movements. They are primarily traffic carriers between various sections of the City and form a network of through streets. Service to abutting properties and access to these properties are secondary functions. Collector Streets - a street located within a neighborhood or Other integrated use area which collects and distributes traffic from local streets and connects with arterial streets or community facilities. 4-p Local Streets - provide access to abutting property and circulation for traffic within residential, commercial and industrial areas and are designed for low-speed travel and configured to discourage through traffic. It should be noted that real-world actualities do not always observe functionally efficient, textbook descriptions such as those above. Many streets in Huntsville function as more than one of the above street categories. For the purposes of this study, analysis of the existing and future street system of Huntsville will concentrate only upon the major thoroughfares of the city; that is, expressways, arterials and collector streets. The location of future residential streets will depend upon the future design of subdivisions by private developers. By following standards established in the Design Criteria Manual, future residential streets can be fitted into the major street system of the City. The proposed thoroughfare system contained in the future street system section of this study is the framework around and within which the future development of Huntsville will be contained. Existing Street System The existing thoroughfare system of Huntsville is shown in Map 4-1: EXISTING THOROUGHFARE SYSTEM. The primary traffic carriers of the city are the National and State highways that serve the community. Interstate 45, which ties Houston to Dallas, is located in the western 4-3 FM 1811 lIN 1 A I A f IN YF' aN p �a4 CITY OF HUNTSVILLE,TEXAS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 1582 Map 4-1 EXISTING THROUGHFARE SYSTEM ICUSSIFIEDDY FUNCYIDNI ®EXPRESSWAYS ARTERIALS -COLLECTORS part of the city; State Highway 19 (East Loop) is located at the extreme east side of the city. U. S. Highway 75 passes through the center of the city providing its primary north-south traffic corridor while State Highway 30 (11th Street) runs due east-west joining U. S. Highway 190 and State Highway 19 to form the city's major east-west traffic corridor. Additionally, the city is served by several State farm-to-market roads. FM 2821 serves as the city's north loop. Connecting the downtown with FM 2821 is FM 247 (Avenue M) running north-south from Highway 30. Finally, the southwestern portion of the city is served by FM 1374 (Montgomery Road) while FM 3411 (old Phelps Road) serves southeast Huntsville. The original plat of the City of Huntsville was based on a grid street pattern. As development continued, this pattern was extended where possible in a somewhat modified form to fit the demands of local topography. Although most of these local streets serve limited areas, a few function as collector streets. Such is the case with Normal Park Drive, Avenue 0, Avenue M (from 11th Street south), University Avenue, Avenue F, Lake Road and Sycamore Avenue running north-south within the city. East-west local collector streets are Eastham Drive, 10th Street, 12th Street through 17th Streets between Avenue N and Avenue J, and 22nd Street. MAP 4-1 also provides a designation for City owned streets classifying them according to the standards adopted for streets in the Design Criteria Manual. 4-5 Traffic Characteristics The average daily traffic volumes for Huntsville's major streets are illustrated in MAP 4-2: TRAFFIC VOLUME (1979) which contains the latest information on traffic counts available from the Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation. Traffic volume data, used to identify trends for purposes of facility evaluation and improvement priority establishment, is the key traffic characteristic in determining the level of street usage efficiency. Volume is used as a "quantity" measure of flow and is the number of vehicles that pass a point in a given period of time. For the purposes of this study, the volume of traffic is expressed in the average total number of vehicles per day (24 hour count). In terms of traffic volume, Table IV-1 provides, in descending order, a list of the most heavily traveled streets in Huntsville.

A comparison of the average daily traffic counts on the most heavily traveled streets in Huntsville in Table IV-1 with the practical traffic capacities shown in Table IV-2 leads to the following conclusions. 1. S. H. 30 (11th Street) is at or near capacity at the present time. As traffic use continues to grow, speed on the street will decrease, traffic "jams" will become more noticeable and frequency of accidents will increase. Pavement width is at maximum for the existing ROW with little prospect of acquiring additional riyht-of-way. It is likely that the only means of alleviating future traffic problems will be to redirect as much of the traffic as possible to other streets. 2. U. S. 75 S (Sam Houston Avenue) is at or near capacity from S. H. 30 to 22nd Street. The same conditions exists for this street as for S. H. 30, therefore, the same conclusions are appropriate. 4-8 3. Sycamore Avenue is nearing its capacity. Sycamore Avenue, however, has one mitigating factor, it is an extra-wide street which, if all on-street parking is removed, can allow it to carry traffic loads up to the lower limits of an arterial street. 4. Avenue J is functioning as a collector street although originally built to serve local residential functions only. Avenue J and Lake Road are acting as one of the major entrances to SHSU. It is likely that this situation will remain throughout the present planning period. Traffic is likely to continue to grow along with the University. 5. Lake Road is another street that is nearing its capacity limits according to its functional classification. However, this street, like Sycamore, is built in excess of the standard width for collector streets. Therefore, it is possible that this Street will be able to handle traffic loads near to the minimum levels of an arterial street. The mitigating factor for this street will be the hilly terrain over which it runs. 6. Avenue U is another collector street nearing its capacity. Unfortunately, this street was built to serve residential purposes only and is, therefore, too narrow to allow much flexibility. It is also interrupted at its intersection with 19th Street by an offset. Removal of all on-street parking and re-desiyn of the 19th Street intersection will allow this street to continue to function as a minor collector street for the near future. If traffic continues to grow, it is likely 4-9 complete reconstruction and widening of the street will be necessary. Traffic Control To obtain maximum efficiency and safety in any street system, modern traffic control devices must be employed. Standard controls are traffic signals, traffic signs and parking regulations. Signalization Traffic signals are valuable devices for facilitating the safe and efficient control of vehicular and pedestrian traffic and interchange. In 1977, signals along Eleventh Street at Avenue 0, Avenue M, Sam Houston Avenue and University Avenue were interconnected to provide progressive traffic movement along Eleventh Street. These are the only interconnected signals in the city at this time. Additional traffic signals are located along Sam Houston Avenue (U.S. 75 S) at 13th Street, 16th Street, 17th Street, 20th Street, Avenue J - Lake Road, Avenue I, F. M. 1374 and Sycamore Avenue. All are presently pre-timed but not interconnected with other signals to provide progressive traffic flow. Other signalized intersections with noninterconnected signals include Avenue I and 20th Street, 11th Street and U. S. 75 N, 11th Street and Avenue I and 11th Street and I-4b. The City of Huntsville, by letter dated Uecember 16, 1980, requested the assistance of the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation in developing plans for synchronizing the traffic signals on 11th Street 4-10 and Sam Houston Avenue. As a result of this request, a field evaluation of the existing signals was performed. It is recommended that the City update the existing signals to standards required by the Manual Un Uniform Traffic Control Devices (VIUTCD) anu coordinate the signals for progressive movement of traffic. The following is an evaluation of each intersection: (1) US 75 N (Avenue Q) and 11th Street (SH30) - This signal is a traffic actuated signal. The loop on the north approach of US 75N is out of service. It is recommended that the City install a new loop on the north approach and place the signal back in traffic responsive operation. (2) Eleventh Street from Avenue U to University Avenue - These four signals are interconnected for coordinated movement of traffic. No physical changes to the existing signals are required or recommended at this time. (3) Sam Houston (US 75) and 13th Street - The signal equipment and installation at this intersection are basically obsolete. A totally new installation should be provided at this intersection. It is recommended that 12-inch heads for Sam Houston traffic and 8-inch heads for the side street approaches horizontally mounted on span wire be provided. This installation will require three new steel strain poles since the southeast quadrant has an existing steel pole. A three dial, fixed time secondary controller is also 4-11 suggested. (4) Sam Houston (US 7b) and 16th Street - Although the signal heads at this intersection are acceptable, improvements are necessary to bring the installation into compliance with the MUTCU. The existing installation does not meet the requirements that at least one signal indication must be at least 40 feet from the stop line of that approach. Also, the installation does not provide the minimum of two signal indications for the side street approaches. Therefore, it is recommended that a new box type, span wire signal be installed along with horizontally mounted 12-inch heads for Sam Houston Avenue traffic and 8-inch heads for the side street approaches. A new three dial, fixed-time secondary controller is recommended since the existing controller has served its useful life and is obsolete. It is also recommended that 4 new steel strain poles be placed at this intersection; it is unlikely the existing poles could handle the weight of the new installation. (5) Sam Houston (US 75) and 17th Street - The offset of 17th Street complicates the handling of cross-street traffic in a safe, efficient manner. Also, the configuration of the existing signal installation does not lend itself to providing the most desirable signal layout. Therefore, a new signal installation at this intersection is recommended. All 12-inch heads should be installed and mounted vertically to enable positioning the heads in the most acceptable location. A protected left-turn for southbound traffic turning east to the University should be provided. Also 4-12 recommended is splitting 17th Street phasing (i.e., eastbound has green and then westbound has a green). A left-turn green arrow is suggested for both approaches on 17th Street to assure the motorist that the movement is protected. A pedestrian signal indication is included in the southern most crossing of the intersection. It appears that several students cross at this location. The new installation will require a three dial, secondary fixed-time controller. (6) Sam Houston (US 75) and 20th Street - No changes are recommended for this intersection. The existing signal controller is a three dial, fixed-time master controller with three time clocks which can be utilized to coordinate the signals at the 13th, 16th, and 17th Street intersections. It can also be utilized to coordinate these signals along with the four signals south at the Lake Road, Avenue I, FM 1374 and Sycamore Street intersections if the City elects to place all eight signals into one system. (7) Sam Houston (US 75) and Lake Road - This intersection was recently upgraded with a new master control box which will eventually be interconnected with Avenue I, FM 1374 and Sycamore Avenue. Left turn signals have been added to allow turning off of Lake Road and Avenue J. Signals on Sam Houston Avenue were left unchanged. Due to these recent changes, no further upgrading of the intersection is necessary. (8) Sam Houston (US 75) and Avenue I - It is recommended that the 4-13 12-inch signals removed from the 16th Street intersection be installed in lieu of the existing 8-inch heads at this intersection for traffic on Sam Houston Avenue. They should be mounted horizontally. The existing controller is an actuated Signal Computer Corporation's Model 2000 controller. There is concern whether or not this company still manufacturers controllers or replacement parts. Also, this type controller cannot be coordinated to a fixed-time controlled system. Replacing the controller with a two or three dial, secondary fixed-time controller is recommended. (9) Sam Houston (US 75) and FM 1374 - The existing controller should be replaced with a two or three dial, secondary fixed-time controller for the same reasons as outlined under Item 8. (10) Sam Houston (US 76) and Sycamore Street - It is recommended that the existing controller be replaced with a two or three dial, secondary fixed-time controller since the existing controller is an outdated obsolete model. It is also suggested that consideration be given to replacing the pole in the northeast quadrant with one of the steel poles from the 16th Street intersection. The existing pole was damaged during an accident at this intersection. (11) Coordination of Signals along Sam Houston .Avenue - Items 3 through 10 outlined improvements which can be made at eight intersections along Sam Houston Avenue in Huntsville. These improvements will improve traffic operations at these individual 4-14 intersections, but will do little to upgrade flow of traffic along Sam Houston Avenue. This can only be accomplished by .interconnecting the signals and coordinating the signals for progression of traffic. It is recommended that coordination of the signals be undertaken as soon as possible. Other Forms of Traffic Control In general, all the warning and regulatory signs in Huntsville are in good condition and conform with standard requirements. Some parking signs at various locations are missing from their post, in poor condition or mounted too low. Except for State maintained routes, there is limited use of pavement markings on City streets. High Accident Locations An analysis of the frequency of accidents and their location over the last five years (Table IV-3: FIVE YEAR ACCIDENT SUMMARY) has shown a general overall decrease in accidents and a spreading out of accident locations resulting in a fewer number of accidents at any one location. This is probably the result of the efforts on the part of the City in the last few years to provide improved traffic control. 4-15 TABLE IV-3 FIVE YEAR ACCIDENT SUMMARY ACCIDENTS 5 YR.

Their conclusions, divided out between long-term and short-term problems are provided in Tables IV-4 and IV-5. TABLE IV-4 Street System LONG TERM STREET SYSTEM PROBLEMS 1.

The future thoroughfare plan for the Huntsville area is shown on MAP 4-3: FUTURE THOROUGHFARE SYSTEM. This system was devised to serve the various patterns of growth projected in the land use study and to provide the most convenient and expeditious routes of travel throughout the Huntsville area. To further expedite the flow of traffic, specifically truck traffic, a routing system for through truck traffic has been developed to complement the future thoroughfare system. MAP 4-4: THROUGH TRUCK AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ROUTE displays the recommended system. Upon completion of the proposed west Belt, this route will be added to the system. PUBLIC TRANSIT At the present time Huntsville is without a public transit system. It is doubtful if the future population of Huntsville can support an effective transit system due to the low density of the Huntsville area and the estimated population size. It may be possible, however, that a limited system running between an area of a very hiyh concentration of population such as SHSU and an area of concentrated retail establishments such as the Central Business District could receive sufficient use to remain viable. 4-19 M)BEt TIS t J+ fil A I N rWY r t a w, N CITY OF HUNTSVILLE,TEXAS COMPREHSE8NSIVE PLAN Map 4-3 FUTURE THROUGHFARE SYSTEM (CLASSIFIED BY FUNCTION) o EXPRESSWAY ARTERIALS COLLECTORS N i HWy _ 75 1190 MAP 4-4 THROUGH TRUCK AND HAZARDOUS MATERIAL ROUTE N HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS 4-21 BUS The Continental Trailways Bus Company provides the Huntsville area with intercity and State bus transportation. Present service includes 17 daily stops. Both freight and passenger services are available, the former averaging approximately 50 passengers per day. Unfortunately, due to the limited facilities available in the city, many maneuvers of the busses to position themselves for loading and unloading of passengers occur on Sam Houston Avenue. As traffic volume on this street continues to increase, this situation will become more of a problem. AIR The municipal airport is located on the east side of I-45 in the northwest quadrant of the city. The facility handles some commercial and private air traffic but no major commercial flights presently enter the area. RAILROAD A spur line extending across the eastern portion of Walker County provides Huntsville with its only rail service. The major rail line is located approximately 9 miles east of the City with a terminal located at Phelps. In 1981, an estimated 25 carloads per week were sent out from Huntsville while approximately 15 carloads per week were unloaded in the City. Six days per week service is available with a Palestine destined train originating in Huntsville each Monday, Wednesday and 4-22 Friday, returning the next day. Current terminal facilities are in a declininy state. The terminal located on Avenue J between 14th and 15th Streets requires freight to be delivered almost downtown in cramped, outdated facilities. Trucks delivering or picking up freight are requested to travel often indirect routes on streets not designed to carry truck traffic, to arrive at the terminal. If use of the railroad is to continue to grow in Huntsville, it is unlikely that these facilities can continue to provide adequate service. A more viable situation would be the relocation of the freight facilities adjacent to State Highway 19 and Bearkat Boulevard. MOTOR FREIGHT I Central Freight Lines is the area's largest trucking firm, with additional freight services available from Red Arrow Freight Lines, U-Haul, Inc., Ryder Truck Rental One-way, Inc. and Missouri Pacific Transport. Morning and afternoon schedules to Houston and Dallas link the Huntsville area with national connections. Local warehouses are maintained by each of these freight lines. PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE TRANSPORT Walking and bicycling have continued to hold an important place in the y y movement of people in Huntsville. Due to the size of the city it is still possible to transverse the city either by walking or bicycling. Unfortunately, few facilities exist within the city to encourage either 4-23 form of movement. No designated bicycle lanes exist and sidewalks, except in the downtown area, are intermittent. Therefore, a system is recommended to coordinate these two forms of movement and to insure the safety as much as possible of those who use these methods. WATER TRANSPORT Huntsville does not have direct access to waterway transportation. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. It is recommended that the City formally adopt the future thoroughfare plan of the City of Huntsville as displayed in MAP 4-3: FUTURE THOROUGHFARE SYSTEM of the Comprehensive Plan. 2. It is recommended that the City formally adopt and implement by ordinance routes for through trucks and hazardous materials. The recommended routes are displayed on MAP 4-4: THROUGH TRUCKS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ROUTES. Funds should be appropriated at the time of ordinance passage for necessary signage. 3. It is recommended that the City prohibit blocking of traffic lanes by delivery trucks. This problem is especially acute along Sam Houston Avenue and 11th Street. It is suggested that the City require back door delivery where feasible; where not feasible, designated loading/unloading areas adjacent to the curb should be provided. It is also recommended that, where curbside load zones are provided, that they 4-24 be designated for specific time periods and uses and that the regulations be strictly enforced. 4. It is recommended that the City remove all unnecessary hindrances to traffic flow along its collector streets. Hindrances include inappropriate or unnecessary stop siyns, dips, and rough or bumpy driving surfaces and blocked sight triangles. 5. It is recommended that the City devise and adopt formal policies related to the following: (a) maintenance and ownership of streets in newly annexed areas; (b) street paving; (c) construction of sidewalks; (d) growth and control of vegetation in public rights-of-way; (e) maintenance of drainage channels. 6. The City in cooperation with the Downtown Merchants and the Chamber of Commerce should undertake a study to determine the economic feasibility of providing off-street parking facilities in the downtown area. 7. In cooperation with SHSU, the City should develop a traffic circulation and parking plan for the area adjacent to the University. 4-25 8. In cooperation with TDC, the City should develop a traffic circulation and parking plan for the area adjacent to the Walls Unit. 9. It is recommended that the City adopt more detailed standards for the design and placement of driveways, especially commercial driveways. It is also recommended that all private driveways built within public street rights-of-way and connected to paved streets be required to be surfaced with either asphalt or concrete. 10. It is recommended that the City continue to pursue the development of an economically feasible Airport Master Plan. 11. It is recommended that the City institute a program for reviewing the adequacy of rights-of-way for existing streets and, where inadequate, to obtain the additional necessary rights-of-way. 12. It is recommended that the City stay abreast of the developments in rapid rail and mass transit facilities for this region and insure Huntsville's participation whenever possible. 13. It is recommended that the City adopt and implement, through a Capital Improvements Program, the projects listed in the following: CAPITAL NEEDS INVENTORY. Included in this list is a prioritization of each project and a generalized timetable for completion. 4-26 be designated for specific time periods and uses and that the regulations be strictly enforced. 4.

Nash, Mayor ATT e haw, city secretary APP�OVED As; TO FO{2M: c un s, ornet Y PRELIMINARY DRAFT FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT Introduction The Central Business District (CBD) is the center of ,the administra- tive and commercial activities of both the City and the County. Presently, these activities expand along two axes; an east-west axis, or 11th Street, and a north-south axis, Sam Houston Avenue. The original Public Square, site of the County Courthouse, remains the principal focal point of the community. The area of greatest density expands out from the Public Square primarily within a two block area on both sides of Sam Houston Avenue and two blocks to the north and five blocks to the south of 11th Street. This is the central core of the CBD. Administrative activities in the CBD include the Post Office, the City Hall, Walker County Courthouse, Huntsville Public Library, Fire Station No. 1, the Municipal Justice Center and the State Parole Board. Commercial activities include convenience shops, offices, banking establishments, restaurants, barber and beauty shops, dry .5 goods and grocery stores along with service stations, agriculturally oriented businesses, automobile repair shops, Used car lots, furniture stores, appliance stores, building supplies, warehouses and truck, bus and railroad terminals. �c>'oi ted 9-t�-8�{ �eS. B�I-►1 The Central Business District Committee, a group of citizens appointed by the City Council to provide public input into the planning process, recommended establishing the boundaries of the CBD according to physical barriers. The boundaries of the CBD were established, there- fore, as the HISD property to the north, the TDC property to the east, the SHSU campus to the south, and Avenue N to the west. Avenue N was designated as a boundary line due to the belief that the residential neighborhoods adjacent to that street are stable enough to withstand commercial intrusion for the next twenty years (the planning period of this study). Existing Conditions Development in the CBD has fo-llowed the usual pattern of municipal- ities whose core areas were developed around a public square. Typically, structures in the core area are small (often twenty-five feet wide) with common walls between adjacent structures. Many structures date to before the turn of the century; only limited modernization of these store fronts has occurred in recent years. Expanding out from this core area, is a diverse group of buildings; mostly commercial in nature that comprise the bulk of the, CBD.

Towards the northeast and the southwest sections of the CBD, residential land uses may still be found. Much of this residential land use, however, is in apartment dwellings. Very limited off-street parking facilities are to be found in the CBD except in connection with the newer structures such as the two banking establishments and the three strip shopping centers; two of which are on Sam Houston Avenue and one on University Avenue. Traffic within and through the area is heavy throughout the day and considerable confusion and congestion is apparent during the business hours due mainly to parking maneuvers, the necessity of having through traffic routed over the principal streets and the concentrated nature of the CBD's building arrangement. Parking practices and policies need to be better related to parking supply and demand and future off-street parking facilities will need to be provided if continued development within the CBD is desired. The central core of downtown Huntsville is, by nature, a pedestrian center. People congregate in this area as they walk from one shop to another and move from one building to another. The method used to guide and transport this foot traffic is the sidewalk system. The i.l existing sidewalk system varies in condition from very good to poor to non-existent. Further, the continuity of the sidewalk system is broken at the intersections with pedestrian/vehicular conflicts. A more efficient linking of the numerous uses and activities in the CBD 4 would make walking a more efficient and pleasant experience. Additionally, enhancement of the pedestrian system may be gained f through the introduction of street furniture, landscaping and other design features. Automobile circulation is an important aspect to the CBD. Access to and movement within the downtown contribute to its overall character and workability. As a major traffic generator, the CBD is a point of destination for a great deal of city traffic. Circulation is impeded by congestion arising from present practices of on-street parking, inadequate traffic control, lack of traffic channelization at inter- sections and the intermixing of vehicular traffic with pedestrian g traffic. The CBD is based on a rigid grid system. This allows primary access r from a variety of streets. A number of north-south and east-west g streets that are basically residential in design provide the principal access to the core area. Instead of these streets being the peripheral feeders of automobile traffic to the area, they actually dump all of the traffic directly into the very center of the CBD. Additionally, these streets carry through traffic across the central core to the various sections of town. az e Characteristics such as traffic volumes, accidents and turning move- ments contribute to the flow of traffic in the CBD. These charac- teristics provide further insight into the assessment of the downtown zir 5 rT; circulation system. As a traffic generator, the CBD has through traffic as well as internal vehicular movement. Further, traffic flow patterns, especially two-way streets, result in an excessive number of vehicular turning and moving conflicts at intersections. This condi- tion is also complicated by pedestrian movement through the intersec- tions. A reduction of turning movement conflicts will improve traffic flow and safety. Problems and Assets A survey was conducted by the members of the Central Business District Committee to determine what problems existed in the CBD. Merchants operating in the area were given a list of questions concerning their operations and problems they felt "existed in the CBD. After considering the responses of the merchants, the CBD Committee was able to define a list of problems of the CBD. TABLE 7-1: CBD PROBLEMS contains this list of problem areas. The Committee went one step further, however, identifying a number of assets existing in the CBD; these assets are listed in TABLE 7-2: POTENTIAL CBD ASSETS. 6 1. GENERAL APPEARANCE e.

Through the years they have served the area quite well; however traffic has increased to a point where many of these streets are no longer able to handle the demand placed on them. The result has been an increase in congestion, delay and traffic accidents. As the City continues to grow, these problems may be expected to increase. Many of these problems can be eliminated or reduced by major street widening and construction programs. Improvements of this type, how- ever, require extensive capital expenditures and, in many cases, the cost would be prohibitive. A(Tditionally, it is doubtful whether or not sufficient right of way exists in Huntsville's CBD to allow for widening of the streets. Instead, the most feasible alternative is to get the most efficient use out of the existing streets. This can be done by using various traffic management techniques, such as increasing street and intersection capacity, parking improve- ments and modernizing signs, traffic signals and pavement markings. These are relatively low-cost measures that can improve traffic flow, reduce delay and congestion and improve safety. 9 Street Capacity Street capacity is a measure of a street's ability to accommodate a stream of moving vehicles. Factors that tend to limit the capacity of a street include lane width (less than 12 feet), lateral clearance (objects set close to street right-of-way), pavement conditions, alignment, grades, frequency of large truck traffic (one large truck equals two cars), traffic flow variations and traffic interruptions. Traffic interruptions are most prevalent at intersections. Intersec- tion delays are a principal cause of congestion and reduced travel time on two-way streets. Two highly successful methods of increasing street capacity through reductions in traffic interruptions are limit- ing left-hand or cross-traffic turns and development of a one-way street system. The overall objective of both limiting left hand turns and one-way streets is to redirect traffic and traffic maneuver to streets or intersections better able to handle the particular maneuver. Limiting of left-hand turns tends to redirect drivers to other streets or less congested intersections on the same street. Possible sites for prohibition of left-hand turns are shown on Map 7-2: CBD CIRCULATION, PROPOSED NO-LEFT TURN INTERSECTIONS. Another type of traffic interruption in the CBD is on-street loading and unloading of delivery trucks. This is most prevalent and most 10 17 1--- ,�......+ - =__ter-._•_ ..; �- ... „.

Repeated observation has found that deliveries often occur at periods of peak traffic flow such as 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Unfortunately, Huntsville has not taken advantage of the use of alleys at the rear of some commercial buildings for loading and unloading purposes. As a matter of fact alleys as such do not exist in downtown Huntsville. There are some driveways functioning as alleys, it is true, but these are privately owned and serve primarily as access to off-street parking areas. Two alternatives are available to the City in addressing the problem of on-street loading and unloading of trucks. The first alternative is to regulate loading and unloading of trucks on the street. This .alternative could range from outright prohibition of on-street loading/unloading to designation of specific times and locations for such activities. The second alternative involves establishing a system of alleyways through the blocks surrounding the Courthouse square. This would require close cooperation between the City and the individual property owners to be feasible. It is unlikely, however, that all commercial establishments would be able to take advantage of an alleyway system if it were provided due to lack of rear access. 12 Another method of increasing street capacity is through a system of one-way streets. A one-way street system may increase the capacity of the streets from 20 to 50 percent over their capacity as two-way streets as a result of reducing intersection delays and providing additional lanes for turning maneuvers. Further, such a system can materially reduce the number of conflict points between vehicles and between vehicles and pedestrians. There are 32 vehicular conflict points at an intersection of two two-way streets. There are only 5 conflict points at the intersection of two one-way streets. pa Additionally, one-way street systems generally reduce overall travel time from between 10 to 50 percent. This is due to the reduction of delays created by turning vehicles at intersections. Traffic signals can also be better timed for progressive traffic flow. Accidents may be expected to decrease from 10 to 40 percent, despite a slight increase in traffic volume. Finally, improved traffic movement and increased safety generally produce broad economic benefits.both to adjacent land owners and the general public. Studies made in various parts of the U. S. have generally tended to disprove the concern by affected business owners that one-way streets adversely affect trade. Moreover, where one-way systems have once been implemented, many businessmen formerly opposed to the plan have become staunch c� supporters. The most likely streets to form an eventual one-way street system are show on MAP 7-3: CBD CIRCULATION, ONE WAY STREET SYSTEM. Immediate implementation of the entire system may not be practical, however. 13 �� rl AVE P cn VE 0 J i II s o AVE N__--==-~ ••fie l�—�y ❑ o 0 m i e'9y ° � O a�CJ ❑ U o ❑ Mv0U5T LTJ 4I au a & AVEC -o o r_ 6 0 0 0 0 U.•. � o 7E;3 0 O ; s r ■ SO ❑a ❑ L7�I 3 0 o AVE Co .0IE a Mpg = p M1 O AVE M r� U a LLLJJJ AV / N n ti y N a v IAVC ❑AVE �4 � LSTIIL �� ❑ P q ..a..=s CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT PLAN MAP 7-3 CBD CIRCULATION, CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS ONE-WAY STREET ONE-WAY STREET SYSTEM NOVEMBER. 1983 PROPOSED STREETS =__= Implementation should instead be considered on a phased, step-by-step basis. Actual phasing and implementation can best be determined according to need based on the following guidelines: 1. Develop one-way streets in pairs, preferrably of equal length. This will help provide for balanced flow in both directions. 2. Develop one-way streets in usable lengths. Short sections of one-way streets, usually a block or two long, should be avoided since they tend to create confusion and disrupt traffic flow. 3. Carefully consider the terminal points. One-way streets should not be ended at major cross-streets or intersections. Instead, they should extend on as far as possible. Street patterns in which two streets join in a Y-pattern readily lend themselves to one-way designation while streets in a classic grid-iron patterns are likely to end at a four-way intersection. 4. Consider the impact of future expansion of the system. When looking at a prospective one-way street, be sure to consider the entire length of the street and its effect on intersecting streets. 15 Parking One of the primary reasons for congestion in the downtown area of a city is inadequate or inefficient parking facilities. This problem has continually been identified, directly or indirectly, by study participants, merchants and property owners, city officials and survey respondents as being central to the question of downtown. The recent removal of parking meters and the establishment of a system of time- controlled parking has abated the problem to some degree but has not solved it. To properly analyze the problem of parking in the CBD, a full-scale parking facilities study should be conducted. Such a study was conducted for the CBD in Huntsville in 1979 by Lockwood, Andrews and Newnam, Inc. for their Traffic Engineering Plan. Among the parking characteristics studied was the existing curb usage, parking space usage and duration and current parking practices of the public. The study resulted in the following findings: (1) The present (1979) on-street parking supply in the CBD is ade- quate to serve current on-street parking needs. (2) Occupancy of on-street parking spaces is low. Regulated spaces are occupied 55 percent of the time,and unregulated spaces are occupied 43 percent'of the time. An occupancy rate of about 80 percent is more desirable. (3) About 68 percent of the parkers park for 30 minutes or less. 16 (4) Parking turnover is very low. Present turnover for regulated spaces averages 4.8 vehicles per space per day. A turnover rate of about 8 vehicles per space per day is desirable. (5) At several locations, vehicles were parked on City property between the curb line and property line. Many of these locations were without curb and gutter or were unused driveways. (6) In several locations, regulated parking spaces and unrestricted parking spaces are adjacent to or interspersed with each other in the same block. Based upon the above findings, LAN made six recommendations to the City on improving downtown parking. Two of the suggestions concerned parking meter timing and charges and are, therefore, no longer applicable. The remaining recommendations were: (1) Curb and gutter should be installed along abandoned driveways and other locations where vehicles presently park between the edge of pavement and property line. (2) Regulated parking spaces and unrestricted parking spaces should be separated. This can be accomplished by making the spaces along any one block face uniform, either all regulated or all unregulated. (3) At the present time, only regulated parking spaces are marked with lines on the pavement. Unrestricted curb-parking spaces 17 within the CBD should also be marked. Pavement markings and stall dimensions should conform to the standards set out in the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. (4) Parking stalls should be enlarged to make them easier to get into and out of. Parallel stalls can be made longer and angle stalls made wider. The actual size will depend on the available space in each block. Although this may result in the loss of a few parking spaces, the adequate supply of parking spaces in the CBD area will easily absorb this minor loss. In addition to LAN's recommendations, the following suggestions are also offered for improving the availability and convenience of parking in the CBD: (1) adequate parking within a reasonable walking distance (approximately 200 feet) for customers, clients and employees should be provided; (2) employees should be assigned the most distant parking spaces to insure maximum customer convenience; (3) provide direct visibility between parking spaces and parker destinations; (4) provide directional signs to indicate.to the motorist where parking is available; 18 (5) improve and reorganize parking areas to the rear of buildings for greater efficiency and utilization; (6) insure the comfort and safety of persons utilizing parking areas by providing landscaped, lighted pedestrian accessways. To determine the amount of existing parking available to the public in the CBD, an inventory of both public and private parking facilities was conducted in January 1984. The first count found that 2,905 spaces exist, 506 of which are on-street or in the public parking lots provided by the City. The specific data related to each block is shown in TABLE 7-3: CBD PARKING INVENTORY. The location of the blocks are shown in MAP 7-4: CBD PARKING INVENTORY. It is in the downtown area, referred to,as "The Square" that parking problems are most acute. According to the CBD Parking Inventory, the following parking exists in the eight blocks that constitute the Square: on-street parking (public) - 271 off-street parking (public) - 26 off-street parking (private) - 644 While on-street parking comprises only 29 percent of the parking available around The Square, it is significant in that it is by and large the only customer parking. Most of the remaining 670 spaces are used primarily by downtown employees. It can easily be foreseen that as traffic continues to grow on Sam Houston Avenue that either a 19 center turn lane will be needed or an additional traffic lane. The only space available to provide for such expansion is the space devoted to on-street parking. Ultimately, on-street parking on Sam Houston Avenue will have to be prohibited. The same is true, although to a lesser extent, of 11th Street between Sam Houston Avenue and Avenue J. If or when parking is prohibited on these two streets, 48 parking spaces will be lost on Sam Houston Avenue and 22 on 11th Street. In order to provide for the continued growth and development of downtown, it is apparent that, at a minimum, 70 additional off- street parking spaces must be provided in the future. A long range parking program, based upon providing both long-term and short-term parking, should be developed by the City in cooperation with the downtown property owners and merchants. Such a program would differentiate between the location of long-term satellite parking areas and short-term convenience parking. Satellite parking areas should be located around the periphery of the developed area but within convenient walking distance while the short-term convenience parking should be located adjacent to the intended service areas. Long-term satellite parking should be designated for use by downtown employees or persons visiting downtown for the day. The lots should be restricted on a contract.•br lease basis, privately owned or leased by businesses, or publicly owned and operated for"the general public. Short-term parking will most likely combine off and on-street parking. The location and amount of convenient short-term parking spaces should 20 be correlated with shopping, customer service, banking, offices and other customer and client related establishments. Provision of such short-term parking should be considered an important element in the redevelopment process of downtown. Advocacy by the City for long-term solutions to the downtown parking problems will prove invaluable. Adherence to the off-street parking requirements of the building code is mandatory. Instead of reductions in parking requirements for new construction or major remodeling efforts downtown, alternative methods of providing parking spaces should be offered such as participation in multiple owner parking lots and garages, municipal/private co- financing of parking lots and payment-in-lieu of parking to the City to create a fund for providing additional public parking. Further measures to provide off-street parking should also be encouraged. The under used interior portions of blocks could be adapted to parking, especially employee parking. Additionally, property owners who own several adjacent lots or lots throughout downtown could take a more area-wide approach to providing parking. Adjacent lots could be combined with parking spread among the total area. Lots separated from each other but within convenient walking distance (no more than 500 feet) could share parking facilities.

The plan presents a concept for the development of a walking system downtown. The plan is designed to improve the walking experience downtown as well as link existing and proposed commercial areas with the other activity centers in or adjacent to the CBD. The system, while relying heavily on the existing sidewalk system, is proposed to be the thread of continuity for downtown. The plan con- tains such features as the utilization of internal portions of the block for pedestrian activity and providing improved pedestrian circu- lation through construction and reconstruction of sidewalks. Urban Design The overall appearance of the CBD, in regards to its buildings, open areas and beautification, is of great importance to the economic and functional success of the district. Through the arrangement of well designed buildings with open spaces and landscape treatment, the provision of adequate, uncongested circulatory movement of vehicular traffic, and the construction of an ample amount of convenient automo- bile parking facilities,•,the customer appeal and business efficiency of the district can be materially supplemented.. Many of the same planning principles that are employed in the design of modern suburban shopping centers are applicable to any future plans 24 El Sam Houston Avenue II � .' _ J _ _ u cr r, — .wu � ---.-� I S , 11L:. -i r-- + __ i� ..

It does not Proposed = represent all sidewalks that exist or to be constructed. Signalized for the adaptation and redevelopment of the CBD to meet future commer- cial demands and to preserve this high value district. The basic principles of planning that are embodied in many of the new concepts for central business district redevelopment are: 1. A consolidation of business and professional buildings sur- rounded by extensive automobile off-street parking areas. 2. The proportion of land devoted to automobile parking far exceeds the area covered by commercial buildings. 3. Buildings are usually grouped well within the site and surrounded by automobile parking, the parking ratio often being three to five times more than a unit of retail or office floor space. 4. Traffic ingress and egress, interior movement and circulation are given very careful consideration. 5. The arrangement of parking facilities is such that short walking distances are maintained between the parking areas and commercial buildings, usually a maximum of 300 feet. 6. Buildings are conveniently arranged with architectural control and design and pleasing appearance, accessible by pedestrian walkways which separates pedestrian and vehicular traffic move- ment. Attractive landscape plots are developed in the open spaces, along sides of streets, to provide a restful and pleasant atmosphere where people can shop andaconduct business. 26 For Huntsville's CBD to function adequately and be maintained as the center of attraction for commercial trade and general business in future years, some of these planning concepts must eventually be introduced in a practical and reasonable redevelopment program. It is not practical, nor would it be economically feasible, to completely redevelop this area to conform to all the concepts of planning now employed in the design of shopping centers. An attempt, however, has been made to incorporate those design principles that are applicable to Huntsville. This was done with the intent of preserving those characteristics and attributes of the present business area and utilizing as much of the present framework and facilities as would be appropriate in a more functional arrangement. A more functional arrangement of the CBD will incorporate the following general features: 1. Maximum utilization of present streets within the area for better circulation and relief of traffic congestion. 2. Consolidation of off-street parking into larger, more advantag- eous facilities for ease of access to traffic facilities and within reasonable walking distance of retail and business destinations. `A 3. Recognition of the primary function of principal streets as traffic-carrying arteries, with street parking as a secondary function. 27 4. Recognition of short-term parking and provision of adequate facilities for each in proper places. 5. Overall effective traffic circulation within the CBD with provisions for local business traffic, and a better means of ingress and egress via connections with radial arteries in the proposed transportation system. 6. Separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, where possible, to provide for more efficient, safe and pleasant circulation of both types of movement. 7. A generally appealing environment, with pedestrian areas as free as possible from traffic hazards, retention of present open areas and general beautification_with landscape treatment. 8. Consolidation of land uses and building areas in as large blocks as possible. 9. Development of overall arrangement which is feasible, economical and capable of achievement in stages, utilizing present facilities and general patterns of land usage, open space and streets. Of particular importance is to maintain the "Marketable Mix". That is, development should build on, amplify and expand upon the existing land uses, services and facilities already available in the downtown. 28 The mix should consist of government, financial institutions, entertainment, housing, offices and retail sales activities. Such a mix offers the greatest likelihood of successful redevelopment. Of vital importance to the success of this plan is the City's concept of its role in the evolution of downtown. Does the City see itself, along with the merchants and property owners as having an economic stake in the development of downtown? Or, does it see itself in a passive role as simply a guide to the developer through the governmental processes? In order for this plan to be successful, the City must act as the primary agent for change. It alone has control of all the elements necessary for change such as the power of condem- nation, the ability to provide access and road improvements and public parking. City government must provide the leadership to marshall its resources to this plan. 1. Recommmendations to Improve Traffic Flow It is recommended that the following traffic flow improvements be undertaken to increase the traffic flow as well as protect the overall safety of the motorist. 1.10 Sam Houston Avenue 1.11 Acquire the right-of-way to connect Sam Houston Avenue from 7th Street to Thomason Street. This will provide Sam Houston with the most direct possible access to FM 247 and FM 2821 and allow traffic to continue on Sam Houston rather than transferring to either Avenue M or 29 University Avenue. Sam Houston Avenue should be reconstructed from 11th Street to University Avenue according to the C1 (Collector) Street Standards. See MAP 7-3 for general location. 1.12 Reduce the confusion, congestion and potential danger of the intersection of 17th Street and Sam Houston Avenue. The short range solution to this problem is the installation of individual turn movement indicators on all four sides of the intersection and pedestrian signals. The long range solution is to work with SHSU to acquire sufficient additional right-of-way to properly align 17th Street. This should be undertaken in concert with the University's plan for redevelopment of that part of the campus. See Diagram 7-1. 1.13 Prohibit parking on the east side of Sam Houston Avenue south of 13th Street adjacent to Huntsville National Bank (see Diagram 7-1) to provide room for establishment of a left turn lane. Designation of the left turn lane should follow the standard adopted by the Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation (see Diagram 7-2). On-street parking at this site is unnecessary`,due to the off-street parking available at the bank. Further, this on-street parking often interferes with traffic making right hand turns from Sam Houston Avenue onto 13th Street. 30 1.20 University Avenue 1.21 Create a 3-way center turn lane at the intersection of University Avenue and 13th Street. To accomplish this, parking should be prohibited on University south of 13th Street. For details see Diagram 7-1. 1.22 Redesignate the parking on the west side of University north of its intersection with 13th Street as parallel instead of angle for the area approximately 100 feet north from the intersection. For details see Diagram 7-1. 1.23 Provide designated (striped) parallel parking along University Avenue between 15th Street and 17th Street. Presently no str-fping exists which results in mixed parking often leading to conflicts between traffic moving along the street and a vehicle attempting to back out. 1.30 10th Street Request that the the newspaper boxes be removed from 10th Street where they create conflicts with traffic. They are located adjacent to a no-parking area. 1.40 13th Street 1.41 Prohibit parking along the south side of 13th Street from 100 feet west of Avenue M to Sam Houston Avenue. This will require additional prohibition of parking only from Avenue M West. The sight distance at this intersection 31 SAM HOUSTON AVENUE II II L L lLl x s LEFT HAND TURN LANE HNB 1 WALKER COUNTY 1 I COURTHOUSE 11 a UNIVERSITY AVE HNB T ..

Additionally, parked cars near the intersection force vehicles traveling east towards Avenue M into the opposing lane of traffic. This has caused ques to develop, further aggravating the situation. 1.42 Create a center turn lane from approximately 150 feet west of Sam Houston Avenue to approximately 150 feet east of University Avenue. This will benefit not only those motorists desiring to turn from 13th Street to either University Avenue or Sam Houston Avenue but also those motorists seeking access to adjacent commercial establishments. To accomplish this, prohibition of parking on the both sides of 13th Street between Sam Houston Avenue and University Avenue may be necessary. The bank adjacent to this location, however, has provided ample parking as has the adjacent office building. Observations of the on- street parking has shown a low occupancy rate; often spaces are used by persons with banking business who do not attempt to park in the off-street facilities. For further details see Diagram 7-1. 1.43 If Avenue M remains a two-way street, a signal light should be installed at its intersection with 13th Street. The increasing use of 13th Street for traffic moving 33 o o Diagram 7-2 Typical Lane Control Markings Source: Texas Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices between Avenue 0 and Avenue M or Sam Houston Avenue is creating problems with cross traffic. This will allow more cross traffic movement while not adversely affecting traffic flow on Avenue M. As traffic increases on Avenue M, it will be necessary to undertake an analysis of each intersection on the street to determine possible future actions by the City. 1.50 It is recommended that parking be prohibited along the south side of 16th Street from approximately 150 feet west of Avenue M to University Avenue and that curbing be constructed from Sam Houston Avenue westward to reduce head-in on-street parking at the restaurant at that corner (see also Recommendation 3.20). Due to the lack of east-west arteries in the City this street has developed into a major thoroughfare, on-street parking will increasingly become a major traffic problem with the area on 16th Street between Sam Houston Avenue and Avenue M as the center of congestion. The intersection of 16th Street and Avenue M should continue to be monitored and if traffic warrants it, a four way stop established. 2. Recommended Actions to Provide Adequate Parking It is recommended that the City undertake the following actions relating to providing adequate parking in the CBD: 35 2.10 Regulated parking spaces and unrestricted parking spaces should be separated. This can be accomplished by making the spaces along any one block face uniform, either all regulated or all unregulated. 2.20 At the present time, only regulated parking spaces are marked with lines on the pavement. Unrestricted curb-parking spaces within the CBD should also be marked. This would be especially useful in controlling parking along such streets as University Avenue north of 16th Street. 2.30 Encourage the improvement and reorganization of parking areas in the CBD to the rear of buildings, where feasible, for greater efficiency and utilization. 2.40 Provide directional signs to indicate to the motorist where parking in the CBD is available. 2.50 Insure the comfort and safety of persons utilizing parking areas by providing landscaped, lighted pedestrian accessways. This may also encourage more night time activities in the CBD. 2.60 Adherence to the off-street parking requirements of the building code should be mandatory. Instead of red:lctions in parking requirements for new construction or major :remodeling efforts downtown, alternative methods of providing parking spaces should be offered such as participation in multiple owner parking lots and garages, municipal/private co-financing 36 of parking lots and payment-in-lieu of parking to the City to create a fund for providing additional public parking. 2.70 County employees should be encouraged to utilize County- provided off-street parking. 3. Recommendations Concerning Driveways and Curb Lines 3.10 At the time of reconstruction of a street, existing driveways should be reviewed individually and, wherever feasible, reconstructed to the City's current size and placement criteria as contained in the Building Code. 3.20 Curb and gutter should be installed along abandoned driveways and other breaks in the curb line which confuse motorists and lend themselves to hazardous parking situations. An example is the north side of 16th Street at Sam Houston Avenue. 4. General Recommendations 4.10 It is recommended that the pedestrian circulation system be improved and expanded according to MAP 7-5 PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION SYSTEM. It must be recognized that a customer must first become a pedestrian and that it is impossible to create sufficient parking in front of every business for maximum convenience of the shopper. Longer walking distances for the pedestrian shopper are inevitable. Therefore, it is recommended that the City, through its Capital Improvements 37 Program, institute a long term program of construction, reconstruction and rehabilitation of the sidewalk and crosswalk system in the CBD. 4.20 It is recommended that the City, through its Building Code, require construction of sidewalks at the time of development of a lot if such facilities are shown on the adopted Pedestrian Circulation System Map. The City should participate in this endeavor through development and adoption of a sidewalk extension participation policy. Existing Commercial establishments should be encouraged to participate also in the provision of sidewalks. 4.30 It is recommended that the City initiate a program to place directional signs in the CBD, especially where advance notice of no left turns is necessary. Signs should direct motorists to the major traffic generators such as the Courthouse, SHSU, and Sam Houston Park, as well as to public parking areas. Signage should also be used to divert through vehicles around the downtown area and, where turning movements are restricted, to alternate streets. 4.40 It is recommended that the landscaping plan for the Downtown Square proposed in "The City of Huntsville Downtown Study" should be extended throughout the CBD. 38 5. Recommended for Further Study 5.10 It is recommended that a task force composed of representatives of the City, Gulf States Utilities, Huntsville Telecable and Southwestern Bell Telephone be created to develop a plan for the eventual removal of all overhead utility lines from Sam Houston Avenue, 11th Street and around the Court House Square. Alternatives to the present system include underground installation and service from the rear of the lots. These two streets serve as the major "doors" to the City and should present a pleasing vista to visitors as well as residents. 5.20 It is recommended that the City undertake a study to determine the feasibility of signalized "no left turns" during rush hour traffic at the intersection of 11th Street and University Avenue. 5.30 It is recommended that a joint City, County and Postal Service Committee be appointed to develop a plan for alleviating the traffic congestion around the Post Office. This is the most critical traffic problem in the CBD. 5.40 It is recommended that a task force be established to develop a plan for reducing the impact of on-street loading and unloading of delivery trucks in the CBD. This task force should consist of City personnel, concerned business persons in the CBD and representatives of the trucking companies. 39 SIJ .

Mr. Poteete noted the stakes represent the 70 foot right-of-way--the outer limits of the right-of-way, but the street will actually be constructed within that, about 41 feet wide, which is the same width as the section now existing from llth Street to 9th Street, the curb and gutter section, but it will be a little wider as it goes on north. Mr. Poteet said this is the type of question that the city plans to answer before any work is begun and that a meeting of the residents will be held at the Emancipation Park building.

Incorporated in this fund request is matching local funds in engineering design work, right-of-way acqui- sition and inspection services, and a number of other criteria that will contribute, as well as administrative work to the administration of this project. He said in addition, uniquely, the city has local private support to make it economically viable. In addition to that, he said, private interests are joining with the city to help build that portion of the 12 inch rrain that will cut across the top of Boettcher's Mill on the ridge and go out tc the loop and tie north and south into our outer loop system and pressure up all of the eater services on that side of town and also create fire protection services for everything in Boettcher's Mill for the first time in history. He noted that private interest is Gibbs Brothers and Company who has made a $60,000 pledge on the ,nater system and a $30,000 pledge plus all of the rights of way necessary to get sewer service up the hill to Boettcher's Mill to their individual holdings. He said if the city had to buy those rights-cf-way, the city would be out of funds, out of that $500,000 range immediately. He noted the private funding participation makes this project even more attractive to the project review committee. He noted in federal fund projects, the dedications of the rights-of-way will be termed an "in-kind" match, because if it is not given, it must be purchased. In this case, he said the value of these rights-of-way is approximately $50,000. He said we therefore have an in-kind contribution of some 550,000, plus a cash match of $60,000 and an additional $30,000 for a total of 5140,000, which is a major community effort on the part of those interests. Mr. Howard will outline the character of the neighborhood and the needs that are perfectly obvious, and touching on the topics of a limited tax base and the other circumstancial situation that leads us to apply for a federal HUD grant in the first place, Mr. Pipes said. Also, it is intended that Mr. Howard point to the success of the HUD New Addition project just completed as federal funds well spent. RESOLUTION NO. 85-14J A RESOLUTION ENDORSING THE SUBMISSION OF AN APPLICATION FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER THE U. S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT/STATE OF TEXAS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT FUND (REGIONAL ALLOCATION) FOR BOETTCHER'S MILL FOR SEWER/WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENTS WITH AN IN-KIND MATCH OF$102,230 FROM THE CITY OF HUNTSVILLE IN MATERIALS, LABOR FOR THE DESIGN AND INSPECTION OF SEWER IMPROVEMENTS AND FOR MATER- IALS AND LABOR FOR THE GENERAL ADMINISTRATION OF THE GRANT. (Grant request: $500,000) Gene Pipes noted this resolution is being revised from $82,230 as the city's in-kind match to $102,230 because of the need to increase the city's in-kind costs due to the nature of this area which has extremely ill-defined property and is an extremely difficult engineering project with a tremendous amount of design criteria work before we can get started. He noted this will be a labor intensive project for the City, however, the in-kind match is a legitimate match to make for this project. He said with the additional in-kind match for the right- of-way, the total is now 5102,230. Councilmember Green made the motion to adopt Resolution No 85-14 and Councilmember Bell seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously.— MAYOR` nanimous) .MAYOR'S REPORT City's 150th Birthday Part RECORDS SERIES TITLE: Ordinances,Orders,Resolutions SCHEDULE NO.: 1000-05 CONTENTS OF FILE: Resolution 85-15 Policies-Pre-Deprivation.Hearing 07-16-85 RESOLUTION NO. 85-15 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS, AMENDING CHAPTER 10, SECTIONS 8, 9 AND 10, OF THE PERSONNEL POLICIES OF THE CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS, TO AMEND THE RULES FOR PRE-DEPRIVATION HEARINGS; AND MAKING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATED THERETO.

The City of Huntsville had a population of 23,946 according to the 1980 Federal census. See U. S. Bureau of Census, 1980 CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING, advance reports, PHC 80-V-45 Texas, Table 2. The population break- down by race was 16,860 (70%) white, 5,323 (22%) black, and 1,753 (7%) other. Id. Of that population, about 6,000 are disenfranchised inmates at the state prison. The City of Huntsville is located wholly within and is the county seat of Walker County. All registration of voters is conducted by the County by state law. The City of Huntsville is a homerule city as that term is defined by the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas. By charter, the City functions under a Council- Manager form of government. The governing body of the City is composed of a mayor (elected at large) and eight council- members (four elected at-large and four elected from single member districts). The mayor and councilmembers are elected for two year terms. Assistant Attorney General Page 2 August 12, 1986 The City of Huntsville has made several prior submissions for preclearance of voting changes under Section 5.

THE CITY CHARTER (AS ADOPTED PENDING PRECLEARANCE) 1 EXHIBIT A. SUMMARY OF APRIL 1986 CHARTER AMENDMENTS SUMMARY OF APRIL 1986 CHARTER AMENDMENTS The City Charter of the City of Huntsville requires that, every five years, the Mayor of the City (with approval of Council) shall appoint at least three persons to a Charter Review Committee. Huntsville City Charter § 14.25(b) (1982). The Committee is required to report to Council its recommendation for amendments to voters which might be necessitated by changing federal or state laws, or just changes in the community. Pursuant this mandate, Mayor William V. Nash appointed three persons to a Charter Review Committee in 1985. This Committee met, reviewed the City Charter, conducted public hearings, and reported to the City Council of the City of Huntsville on November 12, 1985. The agendas, minutes and report of the Committee are attached as Exhibit B. Under state law and the Charter, the City Council has final responsibility for proposed charter amendments submitted to voters. See Tex.Rev.Civ.Stat. article 1170. After receiving the report of the Charter Review Committee, the City Council of the City of Huntsville determined the specific amendments to be presented to the voters as well as the ballot language used for the proposals. A copy of the minutes and action of the City Council is attached hereto as Exhibit C. Prior to the election, notice of the proposed Charter amendments was published in the news media. See Exhibit D. City Council did not expend any funds to campaign for or against any of the amendments. In fact, the City is not aware of any formal campaigning for or against any of the amendments. At the election, the voters adopted all eight Charter amendments proposed. A copy of the election returns prepared by the City, and the action of the City canvassing the election, are attached. See Exhibit D. The amendments can be broken down into two broad categories - housekeeping changes and substantive changes. The order on the ballot was determined by the numerical order of the charter provision which the proposed amendment would affect. A detailed summary of each proposed charter change and the reason for such change is contained in the Charter Committee's Report. The eight Charter amendments adopted by the voters were: 2 Amendment 1: Require that the Mayor and each Councilmember be a "registered" voter of the State of Texas. This is a substantive amendment which requires candidates to register to vote. Amendment 2: Require that the Mayor and each Councilmember file a written notice of a conflict of interest if they abstain from voting on an issue. This is a housekeeping amendment because state law requires filing such written notices. Amendment 3: Require that the Mayor and Council fill vacancies in the office of councilmember by special election. This is a substantive change from the appointment system previously used by City Council. Amendment 4: Establish the date of run-off elections as a Saturday within thirty days of the original election. This is a housekeeping change because under state law Council had already abandoned the date established in the prior charter for run-off elections. Amendment 5: Delete all references ro poll tax receipt in Charter provisions related to voter qualifications. This is a housekeeping amendment because no poll tax receipts are used by the City or State. Amendment 6: Require publication of notice of intent to sell City bonds at least fourteen days prior to the sale. This is a substantive change which reduces the City's prior thirty day notice requirement to the same as that required by state law. Amendment 7: Delete certain Charter sections relating to transitional government. This is a housekeeping amendment. Amendment 8: Delete a Charter provision relating to judicial notice.

Anticipated presentation to the voters as Charter Amendments is April, 1986. Prepared by Ruth De Shaw City Secretary 03-05-85 J Charter Amendment Procedure Section 14.25 of the City Charter provides that every five years the Mayor, with Council approval, shall appoint at least three persons to a Charter Review Committee. The Committee shall report to City Council amendments, if any, to the City Charter that it recommends for submission to the City at a municipal election. Texas Revised Civil Statutes article 1170 provides that City Council may on its own motion submit amendments to the existing Charter. "The ordinance providing for the submission of such amendment or amendments shall require the submission thereof at an election to be held not less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days after the passage of said ordinance. If the next regular municipal election is to be held during said period, the submission of said amendment or amendments shall be at such election. Otherwise, a special election shall be called for the purpose. Notice of the election for the submission of said amendment or amendments shall be given by publication thereof, in some newspaper of general circulation published in said city, on the same day in each of two (2) successive weeks; the date of the first publication to be not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the date set for said election. The form of such notice shall be as prescribed by the governing body or as may be otherwise prescribed by law, and shall include a substantial copy of the proposed amendment or amendments. Every amendment submitted must contain only one subject, and in preparing the ballot for such amendment, it shall be done in such manner that the voter may vote (FOR) "Yes" or (AGAINST) "No" on any amendment or amendments without voting (FOR) "Yes" or (AGAINST) "No" on all of said amendments. Each such proposed amendment, if approved by the majority of the qualified voters voting at said election, shall become a part of the charter of said city. No amendment shall be considered adopted until an official order has been entered upon the records of said city by the governing body thereof declaring the same adopted."

There are several-differences between these "old" charters and those adopted since 1938 -- most notably provisions dealing with administrative structure and relations between the council and manager. The older charters tend to require council approval for all administrative appointments, and provisions so stipulating often remained in the charter despite adoption of the council-manager plan. In more recently adopted charters, on the other.hand, there is a tendency to specify the manager's duties. A 1961 study of Texas charters explains that: .the older charters limit the manager's powers by simply being silent on various subjects which are covered more fully in later charters. Such limitations in the powers of the city manager might be expected in the older charters, since they were written at times when the council-manager plan was 'proving' itself to city councils.l But while recently-adopted charters tend to grant broader appointment and removal powers to the managers and restrict the council's administrative involvements, few cities have seen fit to amend existing charters for these purposes. Only two percent of surveyed cities have revised their charters since 1970 to change the procedure for appointment of department heads and/or administrative posts. Only seven percent have revised their charters to expand or reduce powers of the city manager. I Texas Council-Manager Charters (University of Texas, 1961), p. 62. 10 }wyu�ulnnafill►u11JRJ(II-"11IIjlillflllllMi111 IIIIHIf �1;' 53 i ' Overall, 50 percent of surveyed cities have appointed a charter re- vision committee since 1970. Fifty-six percent have carried out changes in their charters since that time, indicating that some charter alterations have been made without the necessity of convening a revision committee. As-suggested in Chapter IV, the most prominent issue for charter re- vision committees has been the procedure for election of councilmembers. Twenty-one percent of surveyed cities report having made changes in council election procedures since 1970. As shown in Table XXII, the most common transition has been from at large systems to either single-member districts (six percent), at large by place (six percent), or a combination of at large and single-member districts (five percent). Those changing to some form of single-member districting represent a comparatively recent trend in that all such plans have been adopted within the past two decades in Texas. At least two other changes can be noted in council election procedures: In Mesquite, a charter amendment clarified nominating procedures, and in Lewisville the vote necessary for election to the council was changed from a plurality to a majority, with a special election required if the candidates for each place on the ballot do not receive a majority. Aside from council election procedures, the next most prevalent charter revision issue has been council size, with eight percent of surveyed cities reporting such changes. All of these revisions have involved an increase in council size. Three of these expansions have been from five members to seven members (the optimal size according to the Model Charter), while two have been from six to seven members. li TABLE XXII CHARTER REVISIONS SINCE 1970 Revision Number Council election procedures: 21 From at large to at large by place 6 From at large to single-member districts 6 From at large to combination system 5 From at large by place to at large with residency requirements 1 From at large by place to single-member district 1 Other p Mayor's term of office 5 Council member's term of office 4 Mayor election procedures 5 Procedure for appointment of department heads and/or administrative posts p Council size B Initiative, referendum and/or recall 6 Powers of city manager, such as budget authority, board participation, control of departments, etc. 7 Civil service or merit system policies Z The procedure for electing mayors has also drawn the attention. of re- vision committees, with five percent of cities reporting such changes in their charters since 1970. All of these involved a change from appointment by the council to direct election of the mayor. Five-percent of cities report changes in the mayor's term of office, with four percent having made revisions in the council's term. Most often this change has been from two years to three years, for both mayor and council member terms. 12 55 r Charter amendments may be broken down into three general categories: 1) substantive changes, e.g., from at large to single-member district systems; 2) procedural changes, e.g., the number required for a quorum in council meetings; and 3) general housekeeping changes, including language clarification and elimination of obsolete or redundant statutes. The impetus for charter revision movements come from a variety of sources. Citizen interest can become sufficiently intense to prod the council into action. Also, the accumulated ambiguities resulting from previous charter amendments continuously laid on the original charter may prompt city officials into efforts at a general review and update of the charter. Many charters stipulate that a charter review commission be appointed every two years by the city council. Even when the original stimulus for charter revision focuses on a par- ticular issue or provision, a comprehensive review of the entire charter is usually the first task of the revision committee. It should be kept in mind, moreover, that while charter committees can be an effective means to air contro- versial issues, there is no guarantee they will get a positive response from all members of the committee. Single-member districts, for example, was a major issue in the Garland charter committee hearings in 1976, and received considerable media coverage due in part to its advocacy by the League of Women Voters. It was not, how- ever, recommended in the committee's final report, resulting in submission of a minority report to the council. The final revision committee report included onlv one soecific recommendation -- orovidino salaries for the mayor and council members. It also recommended such housekeeping changes as replacing the outdated term "poll tax" with "voter registration." This latter alteration, 13 it advised, would not call for an amendment proposal to the voters, but could be footnoted in the next printing of the charter.2 The city council eventually accepted amendments recommended in both the minority and majority reports. They were placed on the ballot and won approval from the voters. Like the Garland committee, a 1976 charter revision panel in Duncanville began with a section by section review of the charter, with the committee either approving the section or raising specific questions concerning the necessity for change. One question repeatedly raised in this process was whether or not changes should be made to bring the charter into conformity with state law, since the passage of a law by the state legislature often has the effect of superceding city charter provisions. It was eventually decided that such amendments were not necessary, unless "substantial" changes were made in the state law "entirely inconsistent" with existing charter provisions. Where state law merely adds to or expands on existing provisions, charter amend- ments are not usually deemed necessary. 3 The Texas Municipal Annexation Act, for example, places some limitations on areas that can be annexed, and also has a requirement for a public hearing prior to annexation; but these provisions had the effect of adding to rather than countermanding existing annexation provisions in the Duncanville charter. A charter committee in Mesquite, however, did recommend an amendment to update its annexation provisions to reflect state law.4 Often charter revisions are made to clarify existing passages simply by the addition or modification of a sentence, as was the case in a 1976 charter 2 Information provided by Garland city attorney. 3 Information provided by Duncanville city attorney. 4 Information provided by Mesquite city attorney. 14 'liq}HI(I �II1111111111110111111111111111111lI�Tr_ill Rim ill ill III "' ' 57 revision election in Abilene. Three sentences were added as a result of the election, two clarifying the qualifications of the mayor and council members, and the other the data for council elections.5 Sometimes these attempts to clarify ambiguities or to update charter wording are voted on at the same time as other, more controversial issues_ Such was the case in a 1977 charter amendment election in Jacksonville. The ballot contained a total of seven amendments, four of which dealt with such matters as deleting the word councilmen and substituting council- members, along with changing election dates and council quorum requirements. These were placed alongside the more controversial issues, one relating to open council meetings and another involving a lengthy amendment dealing with council member qualifications, term of office and election procedures. All of the amendments were subsequently adopted by ovenahelming margins.6 Charter amendments recommended by the revision committee are normally reported to the city council only in their complete form as they will appear when inserted in the charter. A 1978 charter committee in Hurst advanced the somewhat unusual step of condensing charter changes itself in the committee's report to the council. In the final report, the recommended amendments were presented in formal style for inclusion in the charter, as well as the manner in which they would be presented to the voters. As the report noted, how the amendments are worded on the ballot "may well determine whether an issue passes or fails."7 7 6 Information provided by Abilene city attorney. Information provided by Jacksonville city attorney. Information provided by Hurst city attorney. 1� 58 In traditional form, one Hurst amendment read: Taxes shall be paid before February 1, and all such taxes not paid prior to such date shall be deemed delinquent and shall be subject to such penalty and interest as the City Council may provide by ordinance.$ The version recommended for the ballot read simply: _ Shall Sec. 5.39 of the Hurst Charter be amendedto provide for the same tax delinquency date, February 1, as is used by other governmental subdivisions. Controversial charter issues often involve some form of compromise. A recent charter revision issue in San Angelo dealt with the office of police chief, with public opinion approximately evenly divided as to whether the office should be appointive or elective. The revision committee reached substantial agreement on the merits of an appointed chief to "help in the improvement of professionalism in the department." The other side, however, was given con- sideration in a provision requiring the police chief to receive a vote of confidence from citizens every two years. So while the proposed amendment requires the police chief be appointed by the city commission, his name must appear on the ballot during regular city elections at 2-year intervals and the voters are asked whether or not he shall continue in office. If not, he is removed from office by the council at its next regular meeting.10 Charter issues likely to generate interest in the future correspond closely to those which have been approved as amendments since 1970. As shown in Table XXIII, 41 percent of surveyed cities indicate that the single-member district issue is likely to be a major one in years to come. Council size is the next most prominent, with 14 percent reporting interest in this area. 8 Ibid. 90 Ibid. Information provided by San Angelo city attorney. Ih TABLE XXIII 59 FUTURE REVISION ISSUES Issue Term of office Number 7 Single-member districts 41 Direct election of mayor 1.2 Procedure for appoinment of department heads and/or other administrative posts 2 Initiative, referendum and/or recall 4 Powers of city manager, such as budget authority, board participation, control of departments etc. 3 Size of council 14 Overlapping terms 4 Vote required for election to council 2 Civil service or merit system policies 3 Another issue which may produce considerable interest is the direct election of mayors, with 12 percent of cities citing this as a major concern. It appears, moreover, that Texas city officials are generally reluctant to make wholesale changes in their charters. Like the U. S. Constitution, it is one thing to point out its shortcomings, and quite another to generate the support necessary to approve amendments. A rather constant theme of charter hearings is that committees must be highly selective in recommending amendments. The assumption seems to be that if a large number of amendments are presented at any one time, voters will not be able to act upon them in- formatively, and indeed may become suspicious of city officials' intent in substantially altering the city's government. 17 6.0 It appears also that despite the ambiguities of many charters -- as with appointive/removal powers and the council's administrative involve- ment -- city officials have been able to deal with such problems in a reasonably effective and consistent manner. An important point raised through- out this study is the essentially flexible, situational character of Texas city government. Indeed, cities often later regret charter provisions stated in terms so precise as to prevent the flexible interpretations necessary to be adapted to the times. This is also a rather constant admonition repeated at several points in the Model Charter. The general willingness of Texas city officials to work within charter constraints and limitations, therefore, rather than rewriting provisions to deal with largely situational issues, may in the long run be the most effective approach to local government. lE City ®f Huntsville LEGAL DEPARTMENT 1212 AVENUE M CITY HALL—HUNTSVILLE.TEXAS 77340—(409)295-6471 July 10, 1985 Ms. Linda Schulz 3649 Violet Lane Huntsville, TX 77340 Mr. Mike Canon 237 Pine Valley Drive Huntsville, TX 77340 Dr. Richard Cording 220 Elmwood Huntsville, TX 77340 Dear Committee Members, This is a reminder that the Charter Review Committee will meet at 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 17, 1985, in my office at City Hall.

A member present who abstains for any other reason shall be recorded as having cast a negative vote. ALTERNATE TWO: Each member of the Council in attendance at the Council meeting shall vote upon eve issue upon which a vote is called unless the member declares a conflict of interest and files an affidavit stating the nature and extent of the interest., A member present who fails or refuses to vote without filing the affidav it describing the conflict of interest shall be recorded as having cast a negative vote. Reasons for proposed changes: The City's original charter required that all ordinances be considered at two separate regular meetings unless passed by unanimous vote of the councilmen present upon the first reading. The charter was later amended to dispense with the requirement that ordinances be considered at two separate meetings if not unanimously passed. Therefore the language proposed to be deleted is now surplasage.

SECTION 3.PROHIBITED ACTS.(a)Except as provided by Section 5 of this Act,a local public official commits an offense if he knowingly: (1)participates in a vote or decision on a matter involving a business entity in which the local public official has a substantial interest if it is reasonably foreseeable that an action on the matter would confer an eco- nomic benefit to the business entity involved; (2)acts as surety for a business entity that has a contract,work,or business with the governmental entity;or (3)acts as surety on any official bond required of an officer of the governmental entity.

In reviewing the Charter, I find § 7.04 Filing, Examination and Certification of Petitions, more closely concerns this matter than 7.03, Form of Petitions. That section provides that "the City Secretary shall determine whether the same (petition) is properly signed by the requisite number of qualified voters." I believe this section gives the city Secretary adequate discretion to determine the validity of the signatures on petitions submitted to her office. SECTION 7.03. FORM OF PETITIONS. Initiative petition papers shall contain the full text of the proposed legislation in the form of an ordinance, including a descriptive caption. Referendum petition papers shall contain a sufficient description of the ordinance sought to be referred to identify it, or if the ordinance has been passed by the Council, the full text of the ordinance sought to be referred shall be-included in such papers. For a petition signature to be valid, a petition must contain, in addition to the signature, the rinted name of the signer, the signer's voter registration number, the signer's residence address, the si ng er's ward or precinct number, and the date of signing.

Reasons for change: The 1985 Texas Legislature in H.B. 1216 adopted uniform rules for petitions. See attached.

VACANCIES IN OFFICE OF COUNCILMEMBER. Vacancies in the office of Councilmember arising from any cause shall be filled by a majority vote of the remaining members of the Council for the unexpired term. However, if two or more vacancies exist at the same time, a special election shall be called in the manner provided for City general elections to elect successors to fill such vacancies for the unexpired terms, unless such vacancies shall exist within ninety days of the next City general election, in which event such vacancy shall be filled by appointment as in other cases. Any person elected or appointed to fill a vacancy in the office of Councilmember shall qualifications herein required for the office. possess all of the (2) STATE LAWS/ELECTIONS TO FILL VACANCIES Election Code § 41.001, Uniform Election Dates. (a) Except as otherwise provided by this subchapter, each general or special election shall be held on one of the following dates: (1) the third Saturday in January, (2) the first Saturday in April, (3) the second Saturday in August, (4) the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. (b) Subsection (a) does not apply to: . . . (9) an emergency election to fill a vacancy in officer ordered under Section 201.053. Sec. 201.053. (a) If the governor determines than an emergency warrants hold a special election to fill a vacancy before the first authorized uniform election date, the election may be held on an earlier nonuniform date; (b) an authority of a political subdivision desiring to order a special election as an emergency election under this section must ask the governor for permission to do so. If the governor determines that an emergency exists, he shall grant permission. 31 (3) PROPOSED AMENDMENT. 4.19. Vacancies in the office of councilmember. Vacancies in the office of Councilmember arising from any cause shall be filled for the remainder of the unexpired term at the next regular election following not less than sixty (60) days upon the occurrence of the vacancy. Where more than one vacancy shall exist at the same time, or where a vacancy occurs in a ward, then a special election shall be called in the manner provided for City general elections to elect successors to fill such unexpired terms; provided, however, that if such vacancy occurs within six (6) months of a regular election, then no special election shall be called. Any person elected to fill a vacancy in the office of Councilmember shall possess all of the qualifications herein required for the office. 32 PERSONAL INTEREST: PRESENT PROVISION: SECTION 14.10. PERSONAL INTEREST IN CITY CONTRACTS. No member of the Council or other officer or employee of the City shall be directly or indirectly interested in any work, business, or contract, the expense, price or compensation of which is paid from the City Treasury, or by an assessment levied by ordinance or resolution of the Council, nor be the surety on the official bond of any officer of the City, nor for any person having a contract, work, or business with said City for the performance of which security may be required, except on behalf of the city as an officer or employee. Any willful violation of this Section shall constitute malfeasance in office and any officer or employee guilty thereof shall be subject to removal from his office or position. Any violation of this Section with the knowledge, expressed or implied, of the person or corporation contracting with the City shall render the contract involved voidable by the Council. SECTION 14.11. NEPOTISM. No person related within the second degree by affinity or within the third degree by consanquinity to the Mayor, any member of the Council or City Manager, shall be appointed to any office, position, clerkship or other service of the City. This prohibition shall not apply however to any person who shall have been employed by the City for two years prior to and at the time of the election of the Mayor or Councilmember so related to him, or the employment of the City Manager so related to him. REASON FOR CHANGE: $ 14.10 of the City Charter was copied from Texas Revised Civil Statutes art. 988 (Acts 1875), the original conflicts of interest statute for general law cities. Effective January 1, 1984, article 988 was repealed and replaced by article 988b (see attachment to § 4.9). 988b applies to general and homerule cities. Although the new law requires fuller disclosure of conflicts of interests, it permits conflicts of interest that were not allowed under the 1875 version of the law. For example, a City may now purchase gasoline from a councilmember if he owns the only gas station in town. I make no recommendation regarding this provision. 33 C +�J - Vacancies in Office of Councilmember Texas Revised Civil Statute article 989. Vacancy or vacancies In the event of a vacancy or vacancies from any cause in the office of mayor or alderman, such vacancy or vacancies may be filled as follows: _ (a) If no more than one vacancy on the city council exists, a majority of the remaining members of the city council may fill such vacancy by appointment, such appointee to serve until the next regular city election; provided, however, in filling such vacancy, the mayor, if any, shall have a vote only in the event of a tie. (b) In lieu of filling one vacancy on the city council by appointment as provided for in paragraph (a) above, a special election may be called to fill such vacancy. (c) If two or more vacancies on the city council exist at the same time, a special election shall be called to fill such vacancies. (d) Any special election to fill a vacancy or vacancies shall be ordered, held, and conducted in accordance with the general laws of the State of Texas. (e) In the event of a vacancy in any other office in the city, the mayor or acting mayor shall fill such vacancy by appointment, to be confirmed by the city council. Art. XI, Sec. 11, Constitution. Term of office exceeding two years in home rule and general law cities; vacancies A Home Rule City may provide by charter or charter amendment, and a city, town or village operating under the general laws may provide by majority vote of the qualified voters voting at an election called for that purpose, for a longer term of office than two (2) years for its officers, either elective or appointive, or both, but not to exceed four (4) years; provided, however, that tenure under Civil Service shall not be affected hereby. Provided, however, if any of such officers, elective or appointive, shall announce their candidacy, or shall in fact become a candidate, in any general, special or primary election, for any office of profit or trust under the laws of this State or the United States other than the office then held, at any time when the unexpired term of the office then held shall exceed one (1) year, such announcement or such candidacy shall constitute an automatic resignation of the office then held, and the vacancy thereby created shall be filled pursuant to law in the same manner as other vacancies for such office are filled. 34 A municipality so providing a term exceeding two (2) years but not exceeding four (4) years for any of its non-civil service officers must elect all of the members of its governing body by majority vote of the qualified voters in such municipality, and any vacancy or vacancies occurring on such governing body shall not be filled by appointment but must be filled by majority vote of the qualified voters at a special election called for such purpose within one hundred and twenty (120) days after such vacancy or vacancies occur. Art. XVI, Sec. 17, Constitution. Officers to serve until successors qualified. All officers within this State shall continue to perform the duties of their offices until their successors shall be duly qualified. Art. XVI, Sec. 27, Constitution. Vacancies filled for unexpired term In all elections to fill vacancies of office in this State, it shall be to fill the unexpired term only. 35 AGENDA CITY CHARTER REVIEW C"ITTEE 4:30 P.M CONFERENCE OROOM, CITY HALL ER l' 1985 HALL 4:30 P.M.

Posted:3'oop.m. August 'L3 1985 Signed: Scott Bounds, City Attorney 37 Current Charter: Section 4.01 Number, selection and term of office. The Council shall be composed of a Mayor and eight Councilmembers. SECTION 4.02. QUALIFICATIONS. At the time of his election to office and during his tenure of office, each member of the Council shall be a citizen and a qualified voter of the State of Texas and the City of Huntsville and, if he be a Councilmember from a specific Ward, a resident of such Ward. No member of Council shall have resided in the City for less than 12 months next preceding the election and no member shal l be less than 21 years old. No member of the council shall be indebted to the City or be delinquent in the payment to the City of any tax or assessment. No member of the Council shall hold any other office or employment under the City government while he is a member of the Council, nor shall he hold any paid employment under the City government within two years thereafter. A member of the Council ceasing to possess any of the foregoing qualifications shall immediately forfeit his office. SECTION 4.17. LIMITATION OF NUMBER OF TERMS OF COUNCILMEMBER. No person shall be elected to more than four consecutive regular two year terms as a Councilmember. SECTION 5.06. PRIVILEGE OF VOTE AND VETO. The Mayor, as a member of the Council, shall vote upon all matters considered by the Council . . . SECTION 5.11. LIMITATION ON NUMBER OF TERMS OF MAYOR. No person shall be elected to more than four consecutive regular two year terms as Mayor. 38 PROBLEMS/CONSIDERATIONS: 1. S.B. 1120 (Article 987) approved by the Texas Legislature on June 11, 1985, requires that a mayor or councilmember be a "registered voter" rather than the "qualified elector" or "qualified voter". 2. The Charter language is a little ambiguous as to whether a person may be a councilmember and mayor more than four consecutive regular two year terms. ALTERNATIVES• 1. Substitute registered for qualified in § 4.01. 2. Delete "as a member of the Council" from § 5.06; or delete §S$ 4.17 and 5.11 and insert provision: No person shall be elected to Council for more than eight consecutive years. 39 CURRENT CHARTER: SECTION 6.02. RUN-OFF ELECTIONS. In the event any candidate for Mayor or Councilmember fails to receive a majority of all votes cast for his particular office at any regular or special election, the Mayor or, if he fails to do so, the Council shall on the first day following the completion of the official count of ballots cast at the first election, order a second election to be held on the third Tuesday following the date of such order, at which election the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes cast for such particular office in the first election, at which no one was elected to such office by receiving a majority of all votes cast for all candidates for such particular office, shall again be voted for, and the one receiving the highest number of votes cast shall be elected to such office. The City Secretary shall give notice of such run-off election by causing said notice to be published at least ten days prior to the date of such election in the official newspaper of the City. PROBLEMS/CONSIDERATIONS: ly held on 1 Saturday lin April.ar The City would al elections aalsre orlike te to conduct the runoff elections on Saturday. 2. At least one councilmember has requested that consideration be given to awarding the position to the person with the most votes (plurality) to avoid runoffs. 40 CURRENT CHARTER: SECTION 4.18. COMPENSATION OF COUNCILMEMBERS. Each Councilmember shall receive a salary of Ten Dollars for each regular meeting which he attends: SECTION 5.10. COMPENSATION OF MAYOR. The Mayor shall receive a monthly salary of $50.00. PROBLE-SIOERATIONS: FROM HOMERULE CHARTERS IN TEXAS CITIES. Table I shows the breakdown on council salaries. s, As with mayor token payments on a per meeting or monthly basis are the most common, although the total payments are generally lower for council members than for mayors. The charters in 54 percent of reporting cities either specify nosalaries at all or expenses only for council members. Generally t is little correlation between council salaries and population, although those which provide no council salaries tend to be in the less p pulahted groups. BLE CITY SIZE BYACOUNCIL SALARIES To, None 5-10 1115-50 City Size in Group or exp. meet. meet. month month5-10 25-10 1-120 300 up only year per year 5-10,000 39 20 5 1 4 4 4 10-30,0001 33 18 3 3 2 2 30-80,0002 2 15 5 3 3 0 3 1 0 80,000-over 13 5 2 2 Total100 qg 13 I 0 1 2 9 7 10 g 5 41 Compensation is another area in which mayors are treated much the same as other council members. As shown in Table II, 70 percent of surveyed cities report their mayors receive the same compensation as other council members. In those cases where the mayor's salary is different from other council members, the mayor is usually paid only slightly more. TABLE II SALARIES OF MAYORS Salary Number Same as for other council members 70 $8-20 per meeting 2 $25-50 per meeting 2 $15-25 per month 4 $50-100 per month 10 $150-500 per month 4 $1-600 per year 5 $720 up 3 Total 100 Table II shows that among cities where the mayor's compensation is different from other council members, the most common payment schedule is a monthly stipend ranging from $15 to $500. The largest amount by far paid to any Texas mayor is the $71,425 annual salary specified in Houston, which has a mayor-council form of government with a "strong" mayor system. With the exception of Houston, however, the other nine mayor-council cities reporting in this survey pay their mayors little more than in council- manager governed cities. This general pattern of token compensation is in keeping with the following admonition in the Model Charter: The potential danger of conflict between the mayor and the manager cannot be ignored. Mayors, however chosen, and sometimes individual councilmen have on occasion become improperly involved in detailed managerial matters. Cities are warned against adopting arrangements which encourage this. Among practices to be avoided are provision of a substantial salary for a part-time mayor, giving the mayor power to appoint any operating personnel and providing the mayor with personal staff other than stenographic. 42 In Texas, the tendency to provide token compensation for mayors appears to be the product of at least three factors: 1) The movement to council-manager forms of government, whereby the mayor's administrative role is reduced to symbolic importance. 2) A tradition of "weak" mayor governments, even among mayor-council cities. 3) The belief that monetary gain should not be a motivating influence for elected public servants at the local level. 43 AGENDA CITY CHARTER REVIEW C"ITTEE 7:00 P.M.

No member of the council shall be indebted to the City or be delinquent in the payment to the City of any tax or assessment. No member of the Council shall hold any other office or employment under the City government while he is a member of the Council, nor shall he hold any paid employment under the City government within two years thereafter. A member of the Council ceasing to possess any of the foregoing qualifications shall immediately forfeit his office. REASON FOR CHANGE: Require voter registration for candidate. SECTION 4.09.

A merRbererson who absta4Rs €er aRy ether reason fails or refuses to vote without filing the affidavit describing the conflict of interest shall be recorded as having cast a negative vote. REASONS FOR PROPOSED CHANGE: The City's original charter required that all ordinances be considered at two separate regular meetings unless passed by unanimous vote of the councilmen present upon the first reading. The charter was later amended to dispense with the requirement that ordinances be considered at two separate meetings if not unanimously passed. Therefore the language proposed to be deleted is now surplasage. SECTION 4.18. COMPENSATION OF MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBER5. The Mayor and each Councilmember shall reee4ve a sa4ary of Ten Be44ars for eaeh regu4ar a+eet4Rg wk4ek he attends serve without pay or compensation; provided, however, that they shall be entitled to all necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their official duties.

The Mayor. as a raea+ber e€ the GedRe44; shall vote upon all matters considered by the Council, except in those instances where such privilege of vote is specifically denied him by this Charter. The Mayor shall have the power to veto any ordinance or resolution enacted or adopted by the Council, except those ordinances or resolutions which are not subject to the initiative or referendum process under the provisions of this Charter. To be effective, such veto must be accomplished by a veto message setting forth in writing the Mayor's reason for such veto, which such veto and veto message must be filed with the City Secretary within such three day period. The City Secretary shall deliver the Mayor's veto and veto message to the Council at its next regular meeting. SECTION 6.02. RUN-OFF ELECTIONS.

The City Secretary shall give notice of such run-off election by causing said notice to be published at least ten days prior to the date of such election in the official newspaper of the City. REASONS FOR CHANGE: All regular municipal elections are presently held on the first Saturday in April. The City would also like to conduct the runoff elections on Saturday. 48 SECTION 7.03. FORM OF PETITIONS. Initiative petition papers shall contain the full text of the proposed legislation in the form of an ordinance, including a descriptive caption.

REASONS FOR CHANGE: The 1985 Texas Legislature in H.B. 1216 adopted uniform rules for petitions. Purpose of the proposed changes is to eliminate references to now extinct poll tax and copy form suggested by Legislature. 45 SECTION 11.16. SALE OF BONDS.

Qualifications of Mayor and Council (§ 4.02) II. Abstentions (§ 4.09) III. Compensation (§§ 4.18, 5.10) IV. Vacancies (§ 4.19) V. Mayor (§ 5.06) VI. Runoff Elections (§ 6.02) VII.

Recall/Removal. 5v I. The Charter Review Commission recommends the following change to the Huntsville City Charter:* SECTION 4.02. QUALIFICATIONS. At the time of k4s election to office and during k4s their tenure of office, the Mayor and each member of the Council shall be a citizen and a gdal4€4ed registered voter of the State of Texas and the City of Huntsville and, if he be a Councilmember from a specific Ward, a resident of such Ward. No member of Council shall have resided in the City for less than 12 months next preceding the election and no member shall be less than 21 years old. No member of the council shall be indebted to the City or be delinquent in the payment to the City of any tax or assessment. No member of the Council shall hold any other office or employment under the City government while he is a member of the Council; Rep shall he held any paid erRpleyment under the G4ty government w4th4R twe years thereafter. A member of the Council ceasing to possess any of the foregoing qualifications shall immediately forfeit his office. REASON FOR CHANGE: S.B. 1120 (Article 987) approved by the Texas Legislature this session requires that a mayor or Councilmember of a general lav, city be a "registered voter". The Commission recommends this change for consistency with state law and ease of administration of elections. II. The Commission recommends the following change to the City Charter: SECTION 4.09. ABSTENTIONS. Unless a The Mayor and each member of the Council in attendance at the Council meeting states e4ther that he 4s absta4R4Rg l3eeaese Me has a Netent4a4 eeR€l4et of 4Rterest; or he des4res to waive the requ4reR+ent far reeeRs4derat4eR of an erd4RaRee Re passed eRan4mees4y; then he shall vote open on every issue upon wb4ek that a vote is called unless thatep rson declares a conflict of interest and files an affidavit stating the nature and extent of the interest. A Raember person who ahsta4Rs €er any ether reaseR fails or refuses to vote without filing the affidavit describing the conflict of interest shall be recorded as having cast a negative vote. REASONS FOR PROPOSED CHANGE: The City's original charter required that all ordinances be considered at two separate regular meetings unless passed by unanimous vote of the councilmen present upon the first reading. The charter was later amended to dispense with the requirement that ordinances be considered at two separate meetings if not unanimously passed. Therefore the language "or he desires to waive the requirement for reconsideration of an ordinance not passed unanimously" is surplasage. The Commission recommends the djitional provisions regarding filing of affidavits for consist r(cy with the recent State law requiring such affidavits. rJ ! *Additions in text indicated by underline; deletions by str4keeuts. III. The Commission recommends the following change to the City Charter: J SECTION 4.18. COMPENSATION OF MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS. The Mayor and each Councilmember shall reee4ve a sa4ary of Ten Be43ars for eaeM requ4ar x+ee€4Rg wk#ek he attends serve without pay or compensation; provided, however, that they shall be entitled to all necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their official duties. SEGTI8N 5:I9: 6BMRENSATIBN BF MAYOR: REPEALED. The Mayer shawl weee4ve a FReRth4y sa4ary of $S9--99-- REASONS SB--9B:REASONS FOR CHANGE: The Commission believes that monetary gain has not been, and should not be, a motivating influence for elected public servants at the local level. In fact, several Council- members now serve the City of Huntsville without compensation. Moreover, a recent study by the Institute of Urban Studies for the University of Texas at Arlington showed that over half the cities between 10-30,000 paid no compensation to Councilmembers; more than seventy-five percent are paid the same or less that Huntsville's Councilmembers. The Commission believes the token sums paid to the Mayor and Councilmembers could best be spent elsewhere. IV. The Commission recommends the following change to the City Charter: SECTION 4.19. VACANCIES IN THE OFFICE OF COUNCILMEMBER. Vacancies in the office of Councilmember arising from any cause shall be filled by a FRajer4ty vete of the rem+a4n4Rg rRember5 of the GeeRe44 for the remainder of the unexpired term at an election not less than sixty 60 days after the occurrence of the vacancy. Newever; 4€ two or FRere vaeaRe4es exist at the saffl t4FRe;A special election shall be called in the manner provided for City general elections to elect successors to fill such unexpired terms. ; un4ess seeh vaeaRe4es sha44 ex45t w4th4R R4nety days of the next G4ty geRera4 e4eet4on- 4R wh4eh event 5HEh vaeaRey sha44 be €444ed by appe4Rtment as 4R ether eases: Any person elected er appe4Rted to fill a vacancy in the office of Councilmember shall possess all of the qualifications herein required for the office. REASON FOR CHANGE: Replace appointment system. V. The Commission recommends the following changes to the City Charter: SECTION 5.06. PRIVILEGE OF VOTE AND VETO. The Mayor; as a RFerRber of the GouRe44; shall vote upon all matters considered by the Council, except in those instances where such privilege of vote is specifically denied him by this Charter. The Mayor shall have the power to veto any ordinance or resolution enacted or adopted by the Council, except those ordinances or resolutions which are not subject to the initiative or referendum process under the provisions of this Charter. To be effective, such 5n veto must be accomplished by a veto message setting forth in writing the Mayor's reason for such veto, which such veto and veto message must be filed with the City Secretary within such three day period. The City Secretary shall deliver the Mayor's veto and veto message to the Council at its next regular meeting. REASON FOR CHANGE: The positions of mayor and councilmember are district positions under the Charter. This reference to mayor as "member of council" may cause confusion regarding the applicability of Sections 4.17 and 5.11 of the Charter. VI. The Commission recommends the following changes to the City Charter: SECTION 6.02. RUN-OFF ELECTIONS. In the event any candidate for Mayor or Councilmember fails to receive a majority of all votes cast for his particular office at any regular or special election, the Mayor or, if he fails to do so, the Council shall on the first day following the completion of the official count of ballots cast at the first election, order a second election to be held on the th4rd Tuesday a Saturday within thirty 30 days following the date of such order, at which election the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes cast for such particular office in the first election, at which no one was elected to such office by receiving a majority of all votes cast for all candidates for such particular office, shall again be voted for, and the one receiving the highest number of votes cast shall be elected to such office. The City Secretary shall give notice of such run-off election by causing said notice to be published at least ten days prior to the date of such election in the official newspaper of the City. REASONS FOR CHANGE: All regular municipal elections are presently held on the first Saturday in April. The City should also conduct the runoff elections on Saturday. VII. The Commission recommends the following change to the City Charter: SECTION 7.03. FORM OF PETITIONS. Initiative petition papers shall contain the full text of the proposed legislation in the form of an ordinance, including a descriptive caption. Referendum petition papers shall contain a sufficient description of the ordinance sought to be referred to identify it, or if the ordinance has been passed by the Council, the full text of the ordinance sought to be referred shall be included in such papers. For a petition signature to be valid, a petition must contain, in addition to the signature, the printed name of the signer, the signer's voter registration number, the signer's residence address, the signer's ward or precinct number, and the date of signing. The s4gnatures to the 4R4t4at4ve or referendum petit4ens Reed net be a44 appended to ene paper; but eaeh 54QRer sha44 s4gn hos name 4R 4nk er 4Rde4464e peRe44; together w4tb a Retat4en shew4Rg hos res4denee address and the ward er pree4net number and ser4a4 number that appear on has pe44 tax reee4pt er exempt4eR eert4€4eate or seek ether deeumeRt as xRay be preser4bed by the Laws of the State of Texas to 4dent4€y gea44#4ed veters ender any future 4eg4s4at4on- No 59 signature shall be counted where there is a reason to believe it is not the actual signature of the purported signer or that it is a duplication either of name or of handwriting used in any other signature on the petition.; and Re signature sha44 be eousted dn4ess the res4denee address of the signer 45 shown; Or uR4ess 4t 4s s49ned exaet4y as the name of the rater appears en the a€€4e4a4 espy Of the eurrent pe44 44st or an Off4e4a4 eepy of the eurrent 44s€ of exempt "eters or sueh ether doeument as may be preser46ed by the Eaws of the State of Texas; to 4dent4€y Qua44€4ed "eters ender any future 4eg4s4at4eR; OF un4ess the pree4net number and ser4a4 number that appear OR the s4gRer's pe44 tax reee4pt er exempt4en eert4€4eate OF sueh ether deeumeRt as may be preser4bed by the haws of the State of texasto ident4€y qua44€4ed "eters under any future 4eg4s4at4en are on any petition paper Rated as a6e"e requ4red.

REASONS FOR CHANGE: The 1985 Texas Legislature in H.B. 1216 adopted uniform rules for petitions. Purpose of the proposed changes to eliminate references to now extinct poll tax and copy form suggested by Legislature. VIII. The Commission recommends the following changes to the City Charter: SECTION 11.16. SALE OF BONDS. All bonds issued by the City shall be sold at public sale upon sealed bids after at least th4rtY fourteen days notice thereof has been published at least once in a publication carrying municipal bond notices and devoted primarily to financial news, and at least th4rtY fourteen days notice thereof has been published at least once in the official newspaper of the City. Such sealed bids must be opened at a meeting of the Council. REASON FOR CHANGE: The maximum time required by State law for publication is fourteen days. The City Charter inconsistency with state law can pose problems. t the Council, vely by IX The ordinance,sdelete thesion m following mends a no substantive provvilsionsfrom�the City Charter pursuant Section 14.21: SECTION 14.01.

X. The Commission recommends the following change to the City Charter: SECTION 14.10. PERSONAL INTEREST IN CITY GGNTRAGTS- EMPLOYMENT. No member of the Council or other officer or employee of the City shall be directly or indirectly interested in any work, business, or contract, the expense, price or compensation of which is paid from the City Treasury, or by an assessment levied by ordinance or resolution of the Council, nor be the surety on the official bond of any officer of the City, nor for any person having a contract, work, or business with said City for the performance of which security may be required, except on behalf of the City an an officer or employee. No member of the Council shall hold any paid employment under the City government within two years after holding office. Any willful violation of this Section shall constitute malfeasance in office and any officer or employee guilty thereof shall be subject to removal from his office or position. Any violation of this Section with the knowledge, expressed or implied, of the person or corporation contracting with the City shall render the contract voidable by the Council. REASON FOR CHANGE: This subsection is taken from Section 4.02 because it is not a "qualification" of office. XI. The Commission recommends the following change to the City Charter: SECTION 14.22. JH9I6IA6 N8TI6E. REPEALED. Thos Charter sha44 be deeFRed a pu644e aet; and sha44 have the €eree and effeet of the geRera4 4aw; Riay be read 4n ev4denee w4theut p4ead4Rg or pree€; and jud4E4a4 Ret4ee sha44 be taken thereof 4m a44 courts and p4aees w4theut further pree€.- REASON FOR CHANGE: Texas Rules of Evidence provide for judicial notice of municipal documents. 61 XII. The Commission recommends that the City Council, administratively by ordinance, replace the gender terms "he," "his," and "him" in the next printing of the City Charter. XIII. The Commission studied the recall/removal portions of the City Charter. Although the Commission does not recommend any changes, the Commission would make the following report: State law provides a procedure for removing mayors and council- members of certain types of cities from office. The procedure (attached as appendix A) applies only to "general law." The Commission does not believe that Council should attempt to structure a similar procedure for Huntsville. Instead, such inquiry should be directed to modifying the recall procedure of the existing City Charter. The Commission did not reach a consensus over easing the existing petition requirements for recall. Appendix B, attached, provides additional information of the City's recall procedure and the similar provisions of other cities across the state. 62 APPENDIX A: STATE LAW-REMOVAL OF OFFICERS Art. 5972. "Incompetency" (a) By "incompetency" as used herein is meant gross ignorance of official duties, or gross carelessness in the discharge of them; or an officer may be found to be incompetent when, by reason of some serious physical or mental defect, not existing at the time of his election, he has become unfit or unable to discharge promptly and properly the duties of his office. (b) In the case of a justice of the peace who is not a licensed attorney, "incompetency" also includes the failure to successfully complete within one year from the date he is first elected, or if he is in office on the effective date of this Act, one year from the effective date of this Act, a forty-hour course in the performance of his duties and a twenty-hour course each year thereafter; said course to be completed in any accredited state-supported school of higher education. Art. 5973. "Official misconduct" By "official misconduct" as used herein with reference to county officers, is meant any unlawful behavior in relation to the duties of his office, wilful in its character, of any officer intrusted in any manner with the administration of justice, or the execution of the law; and includes any wilful or corrupt failure, refusal or neglect of an officer to perform any duty enjoined on him by law. Art. 5974. Articles apply to cities The two preceding articles shall apply also to mayors and aldermen. Art. 5991. Mayor and aldermen The mayor and aldermen of any incorporated town or city may be removed from office for official misconduct, wilful violation of any ordinance of such town or city, habitual drunkenness, incompetency, or for such other cause as may be prescribed by the ordinances of such town or city. Art. 5992. Alderman When written sworn complaint charging any alderman with any act or omission which may be cause for his removal shall be presented to the mayor, he shall file the same and cause the alderman so charged to be served with a copy of such complaint, and shall set a day for the trial of the case, and notify the alderman so charged and the other aldermen of such town or city to appear on such day. The mayor and aldermen of such town or city, except the aldermen against whom complaint is made, shall constitute a court to try and determine the case. 63 Art. 5993. Against mayor When any such complaint is made against the mayor of any incorporated town or city it shall be presented to an alderman of such town or city who shall file the same, and cause such mayor be be served with a copy thereof, and shall set a day for a trial of the case, and notify the mayor and other aldermen to appear on such day. A majority of the aldermen shall constitute a court to try and determine the complaint against the mayor, and they shall select one of their number to preside during such trial. Art. 5994. Procedure The rules governing other proceedings and trials in the courts of justices of the peace shall govern.

If the defendant be found not guilty, judgment shall be entered accordingly. Any municipal officer so removed shall not be eligible to re-election to the same office for two years from the date of such removal. Art. 5995. Not to apply to all cities The provision of this title as to municipal officers shall not apply to any town or city except such as are incorporated under the general laws of this State. 6� APPENDIX B: REMOVAL/RECALL OF COUNCILMEMBERS HUNTSVILLE CITY CHARTER: SECTION 7.08. POWER OF RECALL. The people of the City reserve the power to recall any elected officer of the City of Huntsville and may exercise such power by filing with the City Secretary a petition, signed by qualified voters of the City equal in number to at least thirty percent of the qualified voters of the City demanding the removal of such elected officers. The petition shall be signed and verified in the manner required for an initiative petition. SECTION 7.09. RECALL ELECTIONS. The provisions regulating examination, certification, and amendment of initiative petitions shall apply to recall petitions. If the petition is certified by the.City Secretary to be sufficient, the Council shall within ten days thereafter order an election to be held within thirty-five days thereafter to determine whether such officer shall be recalled. SECTION 7.10. RESULTS OF RECALL ELECTION. If the majority of the legal votes cast at a recall election be for the recall of the officer named on the ballot, the Council shall immediately declare his office vacant, and a special election for the filing of such vacancy shall be called and held forthwith in accordance with provisions of this Charter on elections. An officer thus removed shall not be eligible to hold office again in the City of Huntsville within a period of two years from the date of his recall. SECTION 7.11. LIMITATION ON RECALL. No recall petition shall be filed against an officer within six months after he takes office, and no officer shall be subjected to more than one recall election during a term of office. COMMENTS: Recall is a means by which voters may remove their elected representatives before their term of office has expired. While recall procedures are similar to those for initiative and referendum, they are usually more detailed and stricter in their terminology. Broadly speaking, there are three types of recall, with some variation among cities: 1) The simplest form is over the question to recall or not to recall an official only. 2) A slate of candidates is placed on the ballot in opposition to the office-holder whose recall is being sought. The voters cast their ballots as in any election, with the person receiving the largest number of votes taking office. 3) Similar to number two, with the additional necessity to vote on the matter of recall itself. A majority of voters must approve of the recall; then the votes are counted for candidates and the incumbent. � 6J PETITION REQUIREMENTS FOR RECALL - TEXAS CITIES REQUIREMENT NUMBER 10-20% of qualified voters 16 More than 20% of qualified voters 17* Huntsville 10-20% of votes cast at last regular city election 8 More than 20% of votes cast at last regular city election 46 No provision 13 Total 100 There are several alternatives involving percentage and numerical requirements on petitions. In Weslaco, a recall petition requires the signatures of 50 percent of qualified voters, further stipulating that 20 percent of them must certify that they voted in the last election. In Garland, the requirements are different for the mayor than for other council members, with at least 800 signatures required for a council member's recall petition and at least 2,000 for the mayor's. Eighty-one percent of the charters require a majority vote of those voting to recall an official. This represents near unanimity among cities with recall procedures specified in their charters, although three cities require a 2/3 vote. There is somewhat less unanimity as to provisions limiting the frequency with which recall elections may be called. Fifty- seven percent of charters require such a limitation, usually no more than every six months, while the remainder have no such provision. VOTERS IN HUNTSVILLE 30% OF YEAR REGISTERED REGISTERED VOTED 1982 6,330 1,899 1,760 1983 7,852 2,356 1,957 1984 6,675 2,002 1,594 1985 9,643 2,893 1,636 The expense of elections is a consideration in structuring alternatives that may effect the frequency of such elections. The 1984 and 1985 regular municipal elections cost $3,500 and $3,000, respectively. Recall elections that affect only one ward would be approximately $875 each. 6 t:� EXHIBIT C. CITY COUNCIL 1.

Mrs. Ruth Klimko noted things have generally improved in her neighborhood with the fraternity house,but she now has a problem with a group of students who live in the neighborhood and sometimes use their hone as a meeting place. She noted these student neighbors have two doberman pincher dogs,sometimes called their attack dogs, that entered their fenced yard and killed their two Samese cats that usually sleep in the garage and run. within the confines of their back yard. She noted these students belong to a group called the Society for Social Independence. Mrs. Klinko Said they had no problems with their animals before these guys moved next door. She said this is not something that she will accept and this is not something that should be going on in the neighborhood where one has to worry about their own animals sleeping in their awn garage at night and other people's dogs coming in and chewing they.up. FORMAL MEET114G CONVENED Mayor Honday then called the formal meeting to order. Reverend Cecil McKee,Chaplain,Seventh Day' Adventist Church,gave the invocation.

At the time of hit election to office and during his their tenure of office,the Mayor and each member of the Council shall be a citizen and a gaalified Kp ssta�red voter of the State O Texas and the City of Huntsville and,if he be a Counc,lmember rf om a specific Ward,a resident of such Warp. No member of Council Shall have resided in the City for less than 12 month'next preceding the election and no member shall be less than 21 years old. No member of the council shalt be the to the City or be delinquent in the payment to the City of any tax or assess- mens. No member of the Council shall hold any other office or employment under the City government while he is a member of the Council'mar shalt he head any paid e.e;.y t under fhe grey ing quaenf .' within fwe years fhereafEer, A member of the Council ceasing to possess any of the foregoing quali- fications shall immedia Lely forfeit his office.* REASON FOR CHANGE: S. B. 1120(Article 987)approved by the Texas Legislature this session requires that a mayor or councilmember of a general law city be a"registered voter." The Commission recommends this change for consistency with state law and ease of administration of elections.

REASONS FOR PROPOSED CHANGE: The City's original charter required that all ordinances be considered at two separate regular meetings unless passed by unanimous vote of the councilmen present upon the first reading. The charter was later amended to dispense with the requirement that ordinances be considered at two separate meetings if not unanimously passed. Therefore the language"or he be to wa iva the requirement for reconsideration of an ordinance not passed unanimously"is surplasage. The Lommiss ion recommends the additional provisions regarding filing of affidavits for consistency With the recent State law requiring such affidavits.

GBMPEN5Ai4ON OF MAYOR. REPEALED. The Mayer ahaii reee4re a■eethiy e0.,y of$59,99. REASON FOR CHANGE:The Commission believes that monetary gain has not Dee,,and should not be,a motivating influence public servants at the local level. In fact,several council members now serve the City of Huntsville without cgmpen5ation. Moreover,a recent study by the Institute of Urban Studies for the University o Texas at Arlington showed that over half the cities between 10-30,000 paid no compensation to count;lmelbers; e than seventy-five percent are paid the smile or less than Hunts,ille's Counci lmenbers. The Commission Deliev the token sums paid to the MayorandCouncilmembers could best be spent elsewhere. Discussion--Councilmember Hodges noted our neighboring cities (Madisonville and Conroe)pay in the neighborhood o��per nweti ng to its councilmembers,antl lien,h he was not advocating that,he felt the charter should not be changed from the S10.00 per meeting because the Count iimembers do incur a derta to amount of expenses look- ing at problems and projects around town when they use their personal vehicle. He noted the mayor incurs much J more expense than that because of a deeper involvement. He said he preferred a per meeting amount rather than l_ to reimburse each one for expenses. Mayor Monday indicated her hesitancy about the statement added which allows i the payment of all expenses Vncu red in the performance of their official duties because if she submitted all of expenses,it would be a ery rixrge amount. Sne felt this is a loophole that could be abused. Councilmw.mber Dowling noted he would find the sub.isSi on of expenses ea on month a little awkward a well. Councilmember Green noted the problem with the way It is is that if one i n the state payroll Ii-e..SNSU or EDC), not allowed to receive this$10.00 per meeting because ofstatelaw,and this makes it not an even one is felt it is unreasonable that some Councilmembers can be reimbursed at tnat rate and others cannot,Dosed on where they work. He felt it should be all or none. Mayor Monday noted idealistically,the$10.0G and b50.00 for the Ilayor, was put in there so that it would not prohibit anyone from being able to serve. She said if they didn't have money enough to cane down to City Hail, they could afford a taxicab to get to City Hall on Tuesday night. She s noted this i what Steve Davis has Said in the past antl sce he in not here,she felt that she could relay this statement onhis behalf. She noted this would make Se ingon theCity Council open to everyone. Or.Cording said it w S the feeling of the c n that if 510.00 would keep someone from serving, then they should not Serve . Mayor Monday noted the reoaare sane who may have a problem with that. Councilmember Hodges made the recommendation that we leave the charter like it is (510.00 per meeting and "...D per month for the Mayor). Council member Green we his a cepta,ce of the Charter Review C_,ttee's recommendation as did Councilmembers Green,Barrett and Dowling. Councilmembers 6NI-ton and Howard agreed with Cou lmember Hodges that it should stay like i Mayor Henday w s then placed i the position of having her v ofe(which w s thought to be in favor of leavi no it if ke i is)make this a tie vo[e. Rather than c e her favor o eitM1er side,she r ended that since there w split o this i m that it be held. til Councilmember Davis is present Councilmember Hodgesaidhe didn't anttos ci lmembersera suit of not getting their ten bucks ea Doth,start submitting expense accounts for driving n to the city....o Tuesday night. Councilmember Howard said he 'tl be very un comfortable withthefact that maybe he'd present San- thing that w o far out of line with what Somebody elsesubmitted and this would require so much understanding from each of a the councilmembers to feel comfortable with what one does and the paperwork and the miles,etc. Mayor Monday asked then that this one be held over until Steve Davis is present. All were in agreement. Section 4.19.

Rny Derson elected er aBBeieteA to J fill a vacancy in the office of Councilmember shill possess alt of the qualifications herein required for the 11 office. REASON FOR CHANGE: Replace appointment system. Discuss -Dr. Cording noted the election...... be veld in less than 60 tlays,and this is because it would take thatnmuch time to get the paperwork none and get ciao ranee from the Justice Department,etc.,but it c n he held any lime tater than 60 days and there w outer limit set o when the election is heltl and this is left to the reasoning of the Council and the c ns was of the next general city election. Mr.Scott Bounds.Citv Attorney,an ted if the city needs tc ha vena election,n uniform election date(1st Saturday in Aprii, , 3rd Sato rday in January,2nd Saturday in August,or the 1st i esday a r[ne first Monday in November),that i would require preclearance with the Justice Department,whichprocesseq.ires sane 60 tlays waiting time. He notedsince this would be a change in,noting procedure,it would have to be precleared. Councilmember Hodges notes ne prefers leaving this like it I.because of the expense rnvol vad.sane 53,000 plus for each election; 1 unlessit i within 60-90 days of the next election,where the voters could then decide. Councilmember Barrett felt this new provision leaves the election date open for the Council to set and it does not demand that it be within so any days but just not less than 60 days. Ne aid the appointment system was alright,but it headed tol be ref ine0mand applicants should have had to fill out a supplication for,listing their qualifications. Council- ember Bell noted he f"s the election method preferredno r the app.in Leen[method because it beats down the idea of doings behind closed doors.conspiracies,a and open,the process. He said m understandings c if the appointment methotl i used. Councilmember XM1artm noted he agrees with Councilmember Bell antl zaitlathecc option i till there to postpone that election until a regular election o ing discretion as to the time element i volved. Mayor Monday noted she preferred the election procedureca well and said it i important that all line people be s ing and she would not favor allowing a he to a ist for a long periodsof Sime. The Council then we ent to direct the City Attorneyvtoadraft this provision for the charter amendment election. Section 5.06.

Dr.Cording noted his committee didn't feel this was strange at all. It was notedthe veto power has never been used in the past. Mayor Monday noted the veto paver is merely a holding technique and it simply hold the quo over until the next meeting whereit again vo..d upon.

RUN-OFF ELECTIONS In the event any candidate for Mayor or Councilmember fails to receive a majority of all votes cast for his particular office at any regular or special election,the Mayor or, if he fails to do so,the Council shall on th n first day follwing the canpletion of the official count of ballots cast a[the first election,order a Second L, election to be heie on Ewe" ra InesAay a Saturday with-r.thirty oote nous following the date of such order,at which:!:It lection the two[antl;da Les r eivi ng the"ghes:number f s for Such particular office in[ne first elec Lipo,a whit'no on wa5eeletteI to such office by r ving a majorityvpf all vo Les Cxst for all o and idates for such particular office, shall ago,'be voted for,[arid the o e recei ing the highest number of vote cast Shall be elected to Such office. The City Secretary snallegive notice of Such run-off election by causing said notice to be published at least ten days prior t0 the date of such election in the official now, paper uof the City. ' REASON FOR CHANGE: All regular municipal elections are presently held on the first Saturday in April. The City should also conduct the run-off elections on Saturday. Councilmember Dowling suggested not designating the day of the wee/but merely referring to a date allowed by state law in the event the legislature again changes the day of the reek. It w s felt.however.that if this happened,the charter could be amended again. The City A' direct tlat ep this item also for charter a andmant. Section 7.03.

The Council had no Questions regarding this change and they ordered it for preparation fo ch ter amendment. Section 14.22. JY9iG;h NBTTGE. REPEALED. ��P---tt1 REASON FOR CHANGE: Texas Rules of Evidence provide for judicial notice o.`municipal documents,therefore,this item is no longer needed. The Council concurred and authorized the City Attorney to prepare this change for i charter amendment. Dr. Cording noted the commission recommends that the City Council,administratively by ordinance,replace the gender. terms"he,""his,"and"him"in the next printing of the City Charter. Also,the commission noted it did study the recall/removal portions of the Charter, but does not recommend changes. Dr. Cording said the comnissi on does not believe the Council should attempt to structure a procedure for removing mayors and council- members,but rather,such inquiry should be directed to modifying the recall procedure of the existing City Charter. He said the coomission did not reach a consensus over a ing the existing petition requirements for recall, but did present the Council with a Cg DY of similar recall prgvis,O's Sons Df ILher Cities across the State for their consideration. Councilmember Hodges conmentled the Charter Review Commission for the fine job it has done. He noted he is pleased that our charter provides for this review session every five years. Dr. Cording expressed his sinter appreciation to Scott Bounds,City Attorney,for his helpfulness and assistance in serving with them as they conducted their study. Mayor Monday thanked or Cording and his commission members,Mike Canon and Linda Schulz for their diligent effort. She noted it is very important that the charter remain responsive and reflec- tive of the will of the people. She noted a consensus of o inion has been obtained on all items set for chap e with the exception Df one item which w be brought back [D the o n<t on NOVenber 19, 55 for consideration. CONSIDER EXEMPTION FROM TAXES Consider a request for a disability exemption from the ad valorem levy Mr. Pipes,City Manage,,noted Mr.J. B. Flovd has requested the Council's consideration of this exemption. He saitl based on the exemptions now claimed from the School District and the County,there i a potential dis- ability exemption limit value gf S22G.96D within the City. The lost levy,he said,if claimetl,would amount to 51,237 if the exemption was granted at$10,000. Mr. Pipes said the staff has surveyed ten cornparable cities concerning their exemption status and find none granting a disability exemption.

He said there are same judgements made bout monetary situations of people who are disabietl Dr i r 65 years of age that may not hold valid in all cases. He said if we start making exemptions,where do w oraw the line. Councilmember Barrett note' there are people over 65 that perhaps don't need exemptions,but a person who is handicappedpand can't work needs it more. Councilmember GOwli ng noted we have other ways of dealing with[his thing n a public service basis,not through tax exemptions.

He sail the Tourism ivisipn has done a good Ion over the years and ite is dot no the Loin's the Council expects of it. Mayor MDntlay indicated she would vote n favor of the motion to table because she feels the most appropriate place for this contract s with�the Cnamber of Commerce.but In.also feels there are reoccurring aoDbis, puestions,etc.of this co ncil and she feels that once both groups sit down at the table and discuss�t, there will not be major problemsu that cannot be easily r solved. She felt the understanding and comms n icati on woo Id be very valuable for them all to o_o forte from tneesame footing. Council Green felt the Cnamber might welcome input from the Council as to he.the money might be used. He felt the not enough time is spent at budge-,time reviewing in detail how this money is used. Chamber of Commerce Executive Officer,Mr.Roy Williams,noted he welcomes the opportunity for this work session and said they always welcome ouhcil in Du t. He noted fn the past the Chamber has asked[hat a manner Of council serve on the Tourist Council antl although Councilmember Dowling did for a time,he did not contri- bute much at that time genua ne to how the funds shoo Id be spent. He said the Council chose not to have council members Serve on this<until when the last contract was drawn which was contrary to what they at the Chamber wanted. He noted he wants it made clear it was the City Council that decided not t0 have a council representa- tive on the Tourist Council,not the Chamber of Commerce because they solciled it. Councilmember Dowling noted the Council decided that because it put a member of then nc II in a strange pozi tion when the contract to a up so that[here w s almost a conflict of interest on the o auhard being a member of the group that is tryingm to ( get the money.a Mayor Monday noted there is a motion on the floor to table and she asked for any other discussion. a vote on the motion to table,Councilmembers Green,9.11,Dowlin.Howard,Barrett and Ma or Moeda voted n favor and Counci members Notlge d Wharton voietl opposed.

CONSIDER BIDS C 'd bid f s for City Hall and the M oxl Justice Center Gene Pipes,City Managerted this iter•,is brought back flast week,wban there w e re some questions about the ability of a out of town vendor being able to provide mer,ency se vice during ahurricane. He noted there is- requirement that if the 10w bid der(out of town ventlor)I not awarded the bid that he be given optic of the Council's intention to award the bid otherwise. He said the state purchasing law requires that if we tlon't chose to awartl the bid to the law bidder that we find the low bitltler irresponsible. Me said,however,a result of our meetings at the TML Meeting in San Antonio,w now understand there is<o siderable jeopardy about the avai labili iy of our currently bu tlgetetl general revenue sharing fund s. He notedna l though these funds ($45,260)war set aside in the last fiscal year budget,we feel there a sufficient threat at the present time that general r enue shaing will be affected by the balanced budgets amendments presently Pending in s thatitiseappropriate to reject all bids at this time and wait until the water settles in Washingtp . H2 noted it i now the staff's recommendation to reject all bids at this time and to reconsider this Item at n mid-Leon budget adjus tine ret time. Councilmember Barrett moved to reyct bids and Councilmember Howard se onded ch motion. Discuss io Councilmember Dow ing noted this was budgeted ast year,we'v spent some 6,00Gc to 8.00 t engin ring work nal ready on this,antl now we're going to set this bis aside. Mr Pipes clarified that Decaus of the uncertainty about revenue sharing and the threat that[his year's allocations mar¢;cn¢r be Id by 7.per quarter or the elimination of the fourth quarter a11,chent entirely; it is re< andad we holtl off until mid-year to re-valuate our budgeted expenditures from revenue sharing funds. Councilmember Dowling said the e Shari ng¢should not influence ou operations. Mr. Pipes said there are several capital purchases set - to reven a sharing antl one i volvesrthe on-going street program. He saidesi a the council allocated a nsiderabl... .nt of money in street repairs.543.500 in emergency generators,weighed against the need for street repair,msnoula revenue sharing be suddenly discontinued,creates a different perspective. He said we have a number of capi Lal projects which merit the highest cons i tle ration. Mr.Pipes Said if the city loses ane quarter f ea enue sharing,the S102,000 in revenue sharhnng.l,ftsin unallocated resery will be needed there and we'd lose our contingency fund. He said if revenue s Im lish. stopped totally inorderto balance the federal budget, then the City has a finite amount of money t0 acisepAere the street program in which we have already placed al of of stock. He said we may have to make a conprom in order to get the streets fi.ad. He said same 580;000 to 5100,1100 in revenue sharing is currently bWgetetl for the street program(super fund). This year's revenue sharing allotment should be 5343.000(projected,. Mayor y noted if we take off 5104,000 from thizvyear's allocation,you a that the balance is alre�tly budgeted in for this year. She said w ort of guessing what the fetleralagore rnment is going to do and 79 have a hard time believing they will rescind all of the revenue sharing already budgeted in for all the cities in the United States. She said since we don't know,it is felt appropriate at this time to simply"hold" until we find out what it is going to be. Councilmember Green noted then we arc not scratching this whole project. Mayor Monday noted not at all,we just placing it on hold until mid-year. Councilmember Dowling expressed his concern pushing this back again. Councilmember Wharton zald the Emergency 911 number still works even though \ � there is no power in the event of a storm. mor Monday then called for a vote on the motion Al were 1 favor and it Passed unanimously. CONSIDER GSU RATE REQUEST OPTIONS Consider GSU Rate Rede t Options Mayor Monday noted one of the alternatives(since the Council has suspended the rates for 90 days and it wil hold a public hearing some time within the next 75 days) is whether or rot to intervene into GSU's rural rate cas . She Said Lhe reason for doing this is because the rates would be set acrgss th¢district(both residential i cities and rural areas would be the same)and so by intervening in the rural rate case would mean we're asking to be heartl as Dart of that hearing on the state level and actually voicing at that time our opposition. She aid in Speaking with TML,we find that TML has formed a group which will retain the consulting servttes of Mr. Don Butler and the bill on[his Aas already been picked up by Several cities. She said if the city,at this time,wishes to add its name to join that group, it can certainly do so by asking Mr.Bounds,City Attorney, to — tlo so. Councilmember Ed _t made the motion to authorize the Cit Fttorne,Scott Bounds,to move to intervene and to use the s acro servrces o Mr. on ut er and Pu ncr mem teen secpntleC the mutton. tscussron: r Mayor Montlay noted tors does nothine or us oca y and we sti it nave our oca.option. Upon a vote of this motion,it passed a mous N. Mayor Monday noted the Council will need to decide later about setting a hearing in Huntsville. She said a proposal will be submitted to ine',later on procedure to movetoward designing a rate schedule for the city and several recommendations will be brought back to the Council on that. Count iimember Green asked if we could have a rate schedule that is different from other GSU customers. Mayor Monday said we could not. Counc Slmember Green noted he then does not understand. Mayor Monday noted the City has suspentled the rates and because of ,at e must calla public hearing se GSU can present their case and so the Council can set the rates on their owr. In order to do this,one of the options i not to hold public hearings and just to punt on the whole thing and it will then be referred to the PUC. She said anythinS ws do here will be referred to the PUC. Counc fimember Green asked then what a we ac.melt Shing. Mayor Monday noted one of the options sne'll present is what Part Arthur is doing and the rresultsgthey are going to get from their own rate study,noting we may wish to adopt the rates they recommend. Councilme-er Green said from a practical standpoint, 11 this seems useless. Council ember Hotlges said it just m ons cher=i ne more message being sent to the PUC(in oDPgsi tion). Councilmember Green didn't want'to incur expenses fora special study and then have to hire someone to defend it only to have it decided by the PUC anyway. He said he is for low rates but was concernedabout how we Can most effectively do this. Mayer Monday noted she intends to follow closely what Port Arthur does. MAYOR'S REPORT TML Meeting in San Antonio Resolutions Mayor Monday reported on the two resolutions Subcitted by the City of Huntsville to TML. The resolution authorizing cities to have a local option to raise the sales tax from 1:tD 23 with those revenues being used to help infrastructure repair,etc. in cities received f—rabie recognon. She noted in support of it was Mayor Cooksey of Austin,Mayor of the City of Cameron,but the representative from the City of Wichita Falls spoke and felt it would perhaps be politically more ad,antageous to add the counties and hospital districts to that option since it always seems to get blocked in our legislative sessions. Ina saitl reoresentatfve from E1 Paso felt that was not a good idea. 5 h saitl then a representative j from Dallas moved to table this resolution since this is not a legislative year but regues to that TML bring this back next year and to put it together within the best political climate they could yen wre as far as it being practical and maybe it will then have a chance of being passed. Ile said TMl ',staff is naw charged with that and to bring it back next iyear to give us an option on it. Mayor Monday noted the secoM resolution which asked that the stat¢be the guarantor of municipal ponds,failed to get a second,and died on the floor. TEk CEL MayorMonday felt the best thing that came out of THL was that on Friday morning,the Governor of the state did make an announcement that there has been a new program developed which is a cooperative effort between the Texas Economic Development Co�m'.ission,the TML and the Texas Industrial Development Council which is being put together by Mr.Dan Petty, who is the Chairman of the Texas Economic Development Ccemf ssion. She said the Governor explained that what has happened in Texas in the last few months if not over the last year has been a very different aspect for the state. She saitl until this time,many businesses and industries wanted to locate in the state of Texas because Texas wasalways considered the best place in the U.S. to settle. She noted this is no longer thecaand Texas is now competing heavily against the Hid-west,the West and the East. She said now there is going to be a major push across the state of Texas to market Texas as a unit. She said the state wants to move out to help all cities in the State to develop their own economic development commission and to link that into a state network. She said in order to do this, these three entities are going to throw their support next year behind a new program called TERCEL ]n this prograr.,,she said,they will be certifying 25 cities in the state next year through application. 5he said once these 25 cities are chosen,these three entities will get behind them with alt of their resources to help these cities develop good economic programs and network tnem into a statewide program. She felt this is an exceptional opportunity for the U City of Huntsville and she hoped Huntsville could be one of those 25ci if es. She advocated that the City move actively in that respect. She said Mr.Bob Smith will attend the seminar in Houston to pick up that application. She said with the consensus of Council,she would like to see the City vigorously pursue this program in every way it can. SOLID__WASTE Mayor Monday noted she and staff will be meeting on Thursday at 10:00 A.M.with ourconsult- Ing engineers,Engineering Science,and the Walker County Commissioners and County Judge to review with them the scope of the solid waste disposal contract the City has with Engineering Science. She said the County will be invited to be a part of this information gathering. COUNCIL ACTION V V CITY OF NUITSVILLE 0001.-O• NINIRES OF NW06ER 1E,1905 PAGE 655 - landsce in Drdinance SAOrtc_I,s--Lounci lammber Dowling noted he would like for the Council to take another 0o at our Lan scop ng 'anti in lieu of what has happened at the Lufkin Federal building site on the \- corner of 11th Street and Norval Park in that they have removed the large oak trees end pine trees along 11th Street to make roan for their sign and intend to replace smaller trees. He noted CAe spirit of the ordinance,to preserve existing established trees,etc,is being violated and he hoped a review of the ordinance might remove that loophole. Councilm tuber Bell concurred In the need for this review. Cable TV--Councilmeaher Dowling noted his concern about the local cable company moving the premium channels upstream"which Could cause subscribers not to be able to receive these channels for short period of time for which[hey have Datd in advance. He eskea how this would work. Mr.Bob Smith,Director of Community Development,and monitor of the cable franchise complaints.indicated he would check with the representatives of the company to learn more about this new development and report back to Councilmember Dowling. He noted,however,the franchise the city has with the cable company does not address this particular aspect of their service. Public Relations--COuncilmember Dowlinq noted various employees of the city have made presentations.as well _ a5 the Mayor,at Stewart Elementary School over the last Several weeks. He noted apparently everyone has done a wonderful job and he complimented them and the Mayor on their effort in public relations presentation . CITY MANAGER'S REPORT Om ina q.Problem Areas--Gene Pipes,City Manager,presented photographs pf the areas in the city where drainage probes were observed during the most recent heavy period o rainfall. He noted these areas would be addressedasthe Council discusses their drainage policies in the next several weeks. Rescue Operation--Gene Pipes,City Manager,advised the Council of a rescue operation of a wan n antl her child an their Car at FY.2821 and Hwy 75 N.after she missed a Corner antl tlrove off into a di tchafil led with, water. Mayor Monday noted she would like to see the City officially recognize those three city employees involved in this rescue. Traffic Fatalit at Bear kat Boulevard E.of Ave.H--Mr.Pipes noted last Thursday night the City had a traffic ata sty--an 18 year o d SHSD student. EmergenFx Nanagerent People--Mr.Pipes noted the emergency management people have been busy throughout the period DD t�n storm but fortunately we did not have to deg lar:an emergency. Public Service Officer--Mr.Pipes noted the public se vice officer of the Police Department has been very busy with— bonfire of homecoming and has rbeen very highly visible and involved with,lot of things as well as wvisits to the schools. He noted the Fire and Police Departments.EMS,Sanitation Department. have ma depresentations at school;the city secretary had two third grade classes v sit city hall to learn .,out cI"government;and he has an appoin Went Friday to speak to student,at SamHoustonElementary Schoo.

He sa itl they oildunot want to print n street signs for these names he asked the Ya rda6 CDuncilmember,Percy Howard,to suggest potential re--name of those streets to be so so named later by an official ordinance. Mr.Howard Suggested the followings names,based on 5to ries of the people for wham he was naming the streets: Patrick Street;Jeffro Street;and Jessica Street. The Council felt naming these Streets after these distinguished individuals w most appropriate and noted this history: -John Arthur Patrick.w s the first black man to attend Sam Houston State University after integration. -Bill Jeffro me to Huntsville with the Boettcher family who settled Boettcher's Mill in Nalker County. Mr.Jeffro reared a family of well-educated children and one of attended Prairie View AIN and was named All American. -Jessica Justice was a black lady who established the first black day care business in Huntsville. Mr.Pipes noted the staff will bring this back i ortlinance fort later far adDption and all public safety i and emergency services will be notified of thes e's tree t,antl locations as welt a5 the post office. Street Bond Program--Mr. Pipes noted a number of treats ver,identified to be repaired and resurfaced antl .constructed and some for new construction.

He said this particular site is at the railroad grade where it crosses ROSeawall Road. fie noted Mr.Acker's t property is 110 acres(plus). He said the original plat filed some years ago for this mobile home park was a ver small configuration with Some la trailers on it. He said it was outside the city limits and our,jurisdiction \tj under,the subdivision ordinance at that time because it was a mobile none park and was in the ETJ and not the city limi tz. He said z nee that time,two court cases frau the court of civil appeals have come done rhi ch indicates th t' i1"g i th t mobil h sap rk n subtltvlsi ons under the intent and meaning of the law. Mr.Pipes Said we don't presently have our bile home park ordinance written as such a we need to nuke z modifications in it. He said the question is "Does the Council want to rroul.ta mobile hale parks in the ETJ o L an I it no, nHe saitl the courts nave givent ct i�y auLt ty to ae tots. pas sa we have e e hon ark�or t a ce and s rate frau that we have mobile Acme subdivision Criteria i goer subdivisionordtn ! t w noted a mobs a Acme s.....tsOn is considered a re permanent insta nation whereas a e nome Tar—kis i ant a space"for relatively short period of time configuration and tM1is is a purchasemv ant difference•here and therefore there are two different sets of requirements at the present time. It was rent the only mobile home subdivision in the city in in Majestic Forest. Mr.Pipes projected that in ten years 70 percent of the people that live in walker County will have to live mobile name.based on purchase price,a ming Dower,e c factors,etc. He said most of tFei mmay be — outside the city limits. He said TDI is hiring a tremendous number of people in the salary range that will not be able to afford any other type of housing. Also,he said,TDC has indicated they wilt not be building any more I-_ trailer parks o state property. He said they have to locate somewhere and i all likelihood they will locate r in antl n r then center of c gree,which is Hun tsviiie. He sa iL there is tremendous potential for them in that two mile ETJ and there are at least a dozen sites n w that could be identif ietl that are less than two years old (mobile home sites). He reminded the Council of the memorable experience the City had with a mobile hone park called Rustic Pines--lift station problems--code enforcement problems. He said the second part of his question is that if the Council decides to regulate mobile home parks,td what extent? Thirtlly,he said,how does the Council want to handle the sewage treatment situation? Councilmember Green asked if the existing applicable ordinances and criteria apply in the ETJ? Mr.Pipes Said 1t does but it is structured so that persons have to tie onto the City of Huntsville utilities. He said n the case before is (Buddy Acker),the nearest sewer line is an 1B inch main at FM 980 and FM 247(April Point Mobile H-I Park)which is 8700 feet as the crow files across country to the discharge point--nearly two miles t2 the nearest gravity sewer line. He said in terms of a hierarchy of values,the City would presently be in a position of saying first of alt that" ybody must tie onto a gravity se r tine."that is the best! The second part is that w Ou ld say if a eryy�y can L get On d gravity Sys ter..,wthat they'•bu;ld lift ..tions and pump to those gravityys r lines antler n those gravity lines s far into the , 1M anE67'.collect it."

He said there is GOOD and BAD every way we go. Council—be'Hodges said we have to"look It the big picture ever the long haul." C2uncilmember Dowling felt we should require package plants on every mobile hone subdivi5 ion. He asked what happens when the city annexes a privately operated package plant. Mr.Bounds said this depends on the policy the Council adopts at the present time. He aid we could require that,as a part of the subdivison process,the individual dedicate the package plant to the public or county the easements and lateral lines and things necessary to operate it by the public and when the public eventually annexes it and required it under the subdivision process and when it is a exed it becomes the city's;or the City can ignore it antl not do anything and then possibly have to purchase itnat a later date. He Said it depends alot on what the Council does right nov Mr.Pipes said this particular question should be decided new as it will cast the die for the entire ETJ if we're going to remain consistent. kWyor Monday asked Mr.Pipes what it would mean to the City if we 1)regulate mobile hale parks;2)require package plants;3)want to own the package plants and have them dedicated to the City. Mr. Pipes said we'd need - ito restructure our current ordinance to make the requirement to tie onto public utilities not necessarily apply in the ETJ and adopt the other alternatives:require in the new rules and regulations that this be platted,built according to city standards,and given to the city as a c2ndition of the platting and development. He said the city will have to apply for a discharge permit i A brand-new creek(city currently has two discharge permits)a this process has to be for all over and the city must be ready to operate ke g e plants'no they pop u' from now on Councilmember Green su pasted lea vin all this ental owned antl o ratetl until a xa tion. Mr. 1 i Pipes Said,o we o set them up as sDetta uta tty distracts where the capital Ittl on is a tax 2n the pro- party and thenrwhem ituis annexed,the property owners that have.bought into the thing are still paying for it and it just becomes part of the system and the Council can make that a part of its conditional approval of the I system. Councilmember DOwling agreed with Ccuncilm¢mber Green about delaying ownership until annexation antl i Councilmember Barrett concurred. Mr. Pipes said— i tI Counci has the standing rule that anywhere in[he two mi E7 one is g2ing to bus d a package plant,it is g2tng to be awned by the city,operated by the city,and thereiwon't be any other exceptions,then the City has pretty we11 set the tone for all future growth and annexa- tion. Councilmember Hodges said if we dolt elect to take control new,then if we elect to annex 10-15 years from liwe have to start a" n of warms."

Council- member Green recommended the amendment be approved,but that the portion that reads"necessary expenses'be clarified to mean ONLY OUT OF TORN EXPENSES. He didn't feel the council shoo ld be filing expenses for traveling from home to the city halt. Councilmember Barrett noted he agrees with Councilmember Green's statement. Counci member Howard noted he is uncomfortable with any system that could provide for an uneven re of costs and where individua is might turn in different levels of expenses without consistency across the board,noting the expense for one person might be so different from the expenses of another person. He felt there is room her forabuse if not misunderstanding. He noted he prefers that the provision remain as it is,without a change. Counci l member Hodges noted he likes the way it is now as there is no abuse with this system. Councilmember Davi said he would like for it to remain as it is,510.00 per meeting,as this is not a Salary because this is a volun[a ry job and no one would take on this job far 510.00 a meeting. He said this 510.00 is in the Charter 50 that n0 one would be prohibited from s ing because of not having a means of transportation because the 510.00 n get him a t_n,ride to and from the meetings. He said the amendment to IT.. reimbursement of necessary expenses is alreadv Rermi[tetl for out-0f-town expenses (Section 16.12 of Charter), He felt the proposed amend- ent is subject to abuse. he recortmended this provision be unchanged.

Executive Session topic: Consider gift to City under Tex. Rev. Civ.Stat.Art.6252-17 §2(f);private consultation with attorney under Tex.Rev.Civ.Stat.Art. 6252-17 9 2(e). ' ctfully su milted, utn DeShe., sty Secretary Ilavember lg,1985 I 85 M E M O R A N D U M January 3, 1985 TO: City Council FROM: Scott Bounds, City Attorney RE: Charter Amendments I have attached for Council suggested ballot language on eight charter amendments. After reconsidering the proposal to submit the issue "whether the charter provision prohibiting any member of Council from holding paid employment under the City government within two years after holding office" should be moved from 3 4.02 to § 14.10, I would offer the following recommendation. Section § 14.21 of the City Charter authorizes City Council to renumber and rearrange Articles, Sections and paragraphs of the Charter. Under Section 14.21, I would recommend that §§ 4.02 and 14.10 be i rearranged to move the sentence, "No member of the Council shall hold any other office or employment under the City government while he is a member of the Council, nor shall he hold any paid employment under the City government within two years thereafter," from § 4.02 and place it before the last sentence of § 14.10. SB:eht 86 M E M O R A N D U M December 11, 1985 TO: City Council (� FROM: Scott Bounds, City Attorney J 4ltf RE: Term of Office The City Charter generally uses five separate terms in reference to City Council: The Council; The Mayor; The Mayor and Councilmembers; Eight Councilmembers; and Members of Council. Section 4.01 of the Charter provides that "the Council shall be composed of a Mayor and eight council members." Although it is clear that the Mayor is a member of the City Council, the Mayor is never referred to as a "councilmember". The Charter contains some provisions that relate to only the Mayor. E.g., ss 4.01 (2d sentence), Article V. The Charter contains some provisions that apply to "council members" but not the Mayor. E.a., 99 4.01 (3d sentence), 4.02, 4.17, 1.48, 4.19, 4.20. Finally, the Charter has some provisions that apply to "members of the Council" - Mayor and Councilmembers. E.g., H 4.02 (sentences 3, 4 and 5), 4.05 last sentence, 4.09. The only potential breakdown in this terminology appears in § 4.13, employee grievances, where it appears that the term "Council members" is used in lieu of the appropriate term - "Council". The Mayor is undoubtedly a member of the Council. §§ 4.01 and 5.06. The Mayor is not, however, a City "councilmember": the Charter specifically designates eight councilmember positions. The term "councilmember" was given a very specific and definite meaning. There is no written legislative history available to shed light on the use of the term "councilmember" as it was specifically used in § 4.17 of the City charter which provides "No person shall be elected to more than four consecutive regular two year terms as a Councilmember." It is, however, my opinion that the limitation in § 4.17 applies only to the eight designated ward and at-large councilmember positions. Therefore, a person may serve four terms as Mayor and four terms as councilmember in succession. I reach this opinion based on the following factors: 1. The term councilmember is specifically and precisely used in all sections of the Charter (except possibly § 4.13) to mean the eight ward and at-large councilmember positions. 87 Memo to City Council Page 2 December 11, 1985 2. § 5.11 of the Charter would not be necessary if the Mayor were considered a "councilmember" under § 4.13; the only way to interpret the charter to give meaning to § 5.11 is to recognize the office of "councilmember" as totally distinct and independent of the office of Mayor. 3. The term "member of council" is used to mean either the Mayor, councilmembers, or both. The term "member of council" is not synonymous with "councilmember". 4. A fair reading of the Charter shows that the dichotomy of Council - Mayor vs. councilmembers - is maintained throughout the Charter. The Charter at several points makes provisions for the Mayor totally separate and distinct from "councilmembers". The City Charter Review Committee (1985) reviewed the allegation that the Charter was ambiguous in the limitation of term of Mayor and Councilmembers. The Commission found that the Charter did permit a person to serve as a member of council for 16 consecutive years - 8 as Mayor, 8 as Councilmember. The Commission did not recommend changing that provision. Furthermore, their findings are consistent with historic interpretation, e.g. Morris Waller served as City Councilmember from 1968-1972 and as Mayor from 1972-1981. I would, therefore, advise that the proposal to amend § 5.06 of the Charter to delete the reference to the Mayor "as a member of the Council" is unnecessary. Unless Council desires to consider submitting a proposal to the voters to limit the total number of years a person may serve the City in an elected capacity - as Mayor or councilmember, I would suggest that this portion of the Charter be left as is. SB:eht cc: Ruth DeShaw, City Secretary 88 Election Code 52.072, 52.073 Yes Shall § 4.02 of the City Charter be amended to require that the Mayor and each Councilmember be a "registered" voter of the State of Texas instead of a "qualified" voter of the State No of Texas?

Yes Shall § 7.03 of the City Charter be amended to change all references to "poll tax receipt or exemption certificate No serial numbers" to "voter registration numbers"? Yes Shall § 11.16 of the City Charter be amended to require publication of the sale of bonds at least fourteen days prior No to the sale?

Pollard at 8.9w First Continental Finance Corporation at 9.02% and the forced bid from F.N.B., our depository, is 8.6%, but they are only obligated for$80,000 and declined to bid on this 5100,000 certificate of obligation.

In av CONSIDER SALE OF OLD TRUCK Consider authorization for John Ke s, Director of Internal Services, to take bids for the sale of an old front- loading garbage truck and packer body no o ger in use b the Sanitation Division and a 954 umper ruck. Mr. Pipes advised that last year when the front loading container truck was bid, the City had the option to trade in a 1976 model truck. The City was offered only$1,500 trade-in, he said, and at that time we chose not to accept the offer. Since that time, however, he noted, Mr. Keys has been approached by two vendors of garbage trucks to purchase the 1976 model truck. He then requested Council's approval to seek bids on the truck with a imum selling price of$3,000. Also,Mr. Pipes noted, the city has a 1954 Ward La France pumper truck which has been taken out of service. He requested Council's approval to seek bitls for this truck at whatever price is in the best interest11the City. He noted they will notify Walker County that the city intends to dispose of this equipment. He said it no longer has brake parts available and can be considered unsafe to operate. but me one may have a use for it to water the streets or roads where being able to stop is not that critical. Its use as an emergency vehicle is over. C�1 CDuncilmember Davis made the motion to authorize the taking of bids of these two pi c s of equipment and C u ci er Bell seconded the .tion ere ii savor a the .tion------unanimously. .PAGE 674 JANUARY 14, 1986 BOOK 0 Mr. Pi Des noted he feels it inappropriate to issue a cert, ca to o o igat,on or an amount as sma as 516,500.

He said the original bids were slightly in excess of the originally encumbered revenue sharing funds, and there was some question at the time of award as to the future prospect of revenue sharing alloca- u' 'n' tions. He said revenue sha r ina allocation for the current entitlement period has been clarified and funding for the balance of [he year is planned with a 8.2 percent reduction in the final quarter. He said the city has a considerable investment in research, engineering and design work on this project to-date,with commit- ments for inspections at a favorable. (last year's) rate, if we proceed in a timely manner. He advised it is the staff's request for council's authorization to rebid the project immediately and proceed with the project as originally planned. He noted the cost of these generators will be approximately 543,005.

Council- member Dowling indicated his concern chat al'. joint costs were being split and noted administrative costs have never been figured into this contract and perhaps they should be included. It was noted a record should be made on identifying those costs and in sharing as much of the joint Expense as is reasonable and perhaps next year this can be reviewed agar.. Count ilmember Green felt the city is benefiting by the joint arrangement in that it gets to split all of t'is election day costs with HISD which ,uld otherwise be all it[ own.

CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS PAGE 1 1989 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION Four tools are available to the City to assure The final tool is the City's capital the Plan's enforcement. These tools are: improvements program (CIP).

Through this control, the CIP, as zoning is to regulate the uses of both public approved by the governing bodies, acts as a and private land and thereby, 'promote and powerful force in shaping future development protect the public health, safety and and growth. welfare' of the community. The zoning ordinance is a city law which divides the Whether or not any or all of these tools for land into particular uses or districts, Within implementing a comprehensive plan are used is these districts, standards and restrictions dependent on the desires of the community. As are established for the use of the land. a comprehensive plan is unique to each city, These uses are typically: residential, so too are the methods of its implementation. commercial, industrial, and agricultural. Such Although the above four tools have become the an ordinance also provides limitations on standard devices for implementation, their property line setbacks and establishes overall importance lies in the development minimum performance standards, such as the standards which they contain.

Their enforcement is essential to the realization of the Comprehensive Plan. As building codes are designed to encourage proper development, they are instrumental in guiding future growth. Subdivision regulations are the third tool for enforcing the City's Plan. Its function is to establish minimum design standards for the lay-out of streets and platting of new lots. It also enables the community to require developers and contractors to construct facilities, such as sewers, water lines and streets in accordance with community standards. These regulations are extremely important as they control the development of bare land.

To accomplish this, the city should consider a more comprehensive City/developer participation policy which will cover construction of all public improvements where development is within the City limits as well as municipal construction and upgrading of existing public improvements, such as streets, to stimulate desired growth. A long-range program of physical improvements such as sidewalks, water and sewer lines, and streets in older areas of Huntsville should be undertaken as a stimulus to encourage redevelopment by the private sector. Examples of areas suited for such redevelopment are loth Street (from U.S. 75 North to University Avenue) and the Gospel Hill area. Municipal regulations can also assist in managing and directing future growth to insure development according to the comprehensive plan and to reduce the tendency towards conflicts between different land uses. For instance, development that reflects a combination of high and low density should be encouraged along with building forms that relate to the size, shape and character of the surrounding development.

This will require additional congestion. The intersection of 16th Street prohibition of parking only from Avenue M and Avenue M should be monitored to determine west. The sight distance at this intersection if traffic warrants a four way stop sign. is extremely short resulting in a dangerous situation.

Summary The old Central Business District of Huntsville, known as 'Downtown' should be preserved as the centerpiece of the city's efforts at revitalization combined with historic preservation. In order to make the proposals contained in this plan a reality, the city must actively pursue public and private funding for these improvements. Specific proposals must be developed along with specific funding sources to bring about the overall revitalization of downtown. Further, the many and varied activities necessary to restore this vital part of the commerical and cultural history of Huntsville cannot adequately be covered in this general plan format. It is expected that these policies and recommendations will lead to many individual, detailed plans of action such as the existing THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT REVITALIZATION PLAN - 1989 for the implementation of these goals.

To express its appreciation for for such activities as business beautification, clean-up/fix-up of areas around the city, landscape beautification along creeks and erection of aboretums, the City Council should establish a Civic Pride Award. Further encouragement of cultural activities may include support for the development of a multipurposemunity center to house convention activities, performing and visual arts activities and leisure activities, maintaining the commitment to high quality library services through improving and strengthening the municipal library program and encouraging the improvement of existing museums and the establishment of additional museum facilities. The public library, for instance, should be promoted more heavily as a community-wide cultural center.

Unfortunately, Huntsville has only recently recognized the importance of its historic structures--too late for many to be saved. In 1981, the Houston-Galveston Area Council of Governments sponsered the development of an interim report entitled Walker County• Cultural Resources Inventory. To date, this has been the only source for an inventory of historic properties in Huntsville and Walker County. This report, which is adopted by reference as a part of this plan should be undated and expanded as soon as possible. Among the items to be addressed in the updated report should be the potential of sites and buildings for designation in the National Register, the development of the original site of the Pleasant Gray Trading Post and the protection and development of the site of the origianl Town Spring. Other efforts the City may make towards historic preservation would be to participate in the State Family Land Heritage Program and the development of educational information about Huntsville and its important buildings and historical sites. Finally, the City should seek funds through both public and private sources for the preservation and/or restoration of historic sites. CITY OF HUNTSVILLE.

Coverage This policy for disadvantaged businesses shall apply to City contracts under projects funded by FAA under the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) where the City receives planning funds in excess of $75,000 or general aviation airport funds in excess of $250,000. B. Goals 1. The City adopts a single overall goal for disadvantaged businesses (DBE's) of ten percent. This single DBE goal shall be used in bid solicitations which require a contract goal. (Attachment 1 contains a sample clause that may be used in these solicitations.) 2. The City DBE Liaison shall continue tokeep records on the awards made to the several disadvantaged groups. This information will -- be reported to the FAA on DOT Form 4630 or another-form. 3. The overall DBE goal should be based only on the Federal share of AIP contract awards. 4. The overall DBE goal is adopted for a one-year period. The overall goal must be updated annually. C. -DBE Definition 1. A DBE is defined as a small business concern: a. Which is at least 51 percent owned by one or more socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, or, in the case of any publicly owned business, at least 51 percent of the stock of which is owned by one or more socially and economically disadvantaged individuals; and b. Whose management and daily business operations are controlled by one or more of the socially and economically disadvantaged individuals who own it. 2. Small Business Concern: a. Current Standards - Regulations of the Small Business Administration (SBA), 13 CFR 121, contain guidelines and standards for determining eligibility as a 'small business concern." The current standards are set forth in a Table 2 of the Regulations entitled "Final Rule Size Standards by SIC Industry" (Attachment 2). b. Average Gross Receipts for 3-year Period - The dollar figures listed in the SBA Regulations refer to the average annual receipts earned by the firm, including its affiliates, for the previous 3-year period. For example, the standard for electrical contractors is $7 million, meaning that the firm is small if its average gross receipts in the three preceding years is no more than $7 million. C. Size Determination of AIP Contractors - As a part of the certification process, the City DBE Liaison shall determine whether contractors who will perform on AIP projects qualify as "small business concerns." (1) For AIP contracts of $10.000 or less, the firm qualifies as small if it has no more than 500 employees. _ (2) For contracts over $10.000, the firm qualifies as small if it meets the size standards in SBA's Regulations 13 CFR Part 121, except that a ceiling of $14 million (average gross receipts in preceding 3-year period) has been established by the grant legislation. If the SBA's standard for a particular type of contractor, e.g., $7 million for electrical work, is lower than $14 million, the lower figure would govern. _If SBA's standard is higher, such as $17 million established-for general contractors; the - $14 million threshold takes precedence. The Major Groups in the SBA REgulations that may be relevant to AIP contracting include 15, 16, 17 and 87. 3. Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Individuals: a. Any person who,has a current certification from the SBA under Section 8(a) of-the Small Business Act is considered to be socially and economically disadvantaged for purposes of Subpart D. b. Recipients make a "rebuttable presumption" that individuals in the groups listed below who are citizens of the United States (or lawfully admitted permanent residents) are socially and economically disadvantaged. The presumption is a rebuttable one since other parties may challenge whether any particular person in one of these groups is actually disadvantaged. The groups are: (1) Women; (2) Black Americans, which includes persons having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa; (3) Hispanic Americans, which includes persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or other Spanish or Portuguese culture or origin, regardless of race; (4) Native Americans, which includes persons who are American Indians, Eskimos, Aleuts, or Native Hawaiians; (5) Asian-Pacific Americans, which includes persons whose origins are from Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, the Philippines, Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Trust Territories of the Pacific, and the Northern Marianas; and (6) Asian-Indian Americans, which includes persons whose origins are from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. (Note: Sri Lanka was recently added as a "presumptive group" by the SBA and has not yet been incorporated into the Subpart D Regulations.) C. Persons who are not members of any of the "presumptive groups" listed in-b. may nevertheless be found to be socially and economically disadvantaged by the sponsor on a case-by-case basis. For example, a disabled Vietnam veteran, an Appalachian white male, or any other person may claim to be disadvantaged due to individual circumstances. If one of these individuals owns a business and applies for eligibility as a DBE, the City Liaison Officer shall determine, as part of-the certification,-whether that person qualifies as socially and economically disadvantaged under the guidelines in Appendix C of Subpart D, 49 CFR Part 23.._ It is emphasized that these persons would have to make an individual showing of disadvantage rather than on the basis of group membership. D. Challenge Procedures Any third-party may challenge whether the owner of a firm certified by the City DBE Liaison Officer or seeking certification, who is presumed to be socially and economically disadvantaged, actually is "disadvantaged. The City DBE Liaison Officer may also make such a challenge. However, the disadvantaged status of an individual who has a current certification under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act is not subject to challenge. 1. Inquiry: When a written challenge is filed by a third-party, the City DBE Liaison Officer must conduct an inquiry and provide appropriate notifications to the parties involved. The inquiry may be informal; strict rules of evidence are not required. Section 23.69 of the regulations contains guidance on the procedures to be followed, while Apprendix C of Subpart D, 49 CFR Part 23 is the guideline for making determinations of social and economic disadvantage. 2. Eligibility Status: While the challenge is in progress, the presumption of social and economic disadvantage remains in effect, and the firm, if certified, may continue to be considered eligible. E. Directory The City DBA Liaison Officer shall compile and update the directories annually. The directory should include the addresses of the DBE firms. F. Steps to Verify Eligibility The regulations establish uniform standards for certifying the eligibility of the DBE firms. As part of the certification process, the City DBA Liaison Officer shall take at least the following steps in determining whether a firm is eligible: 1. Perform an on-site visit to the offices of the firm and to any job sites on which the firm is working at the time of the eligibility investigation; 2. Obtain the resumes or work histories of the principal owners of the firm and personally interview these individuals; 3. Analyze the ownership of stock in the firm, if it is a corporation; 4. Analyze the bonding and financial capacity of the firm; -5. Determine the work history of the firm, including contracts it has received and work it has completed; 6. Obtain or compile a list of equipment owned or available to the firm and the licenses of the firm and its key personnel to perform the work it seeks to do as part of the DBE program; and 7. Obtain a statement from the firm of the type of work it prefers to perform as part of the DBE program. G. Contract Award Mechanism The City DBE Liaison Officer, with approval of City Council, may award FAA-assisted contracts to bidders who meet the goals or who demonstrate that they made good faith efforts in attempting to do so consistent with the guidelines of Appendix C of Subpart D, 49 CFR Part 23. ATTACHMENT 1 LANGUAGE FOR BID SOLICITATIONS (49 CFR 23.45(h)) The bidder shall make good faith efforts, as defined in Appendix A of 49 CFR Part 23, Regulations of the Office of the Secretary of Transportation, to subcontract 10 percent of the dollar value of the prime contract to small business concerns owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals (DBE). In the event that the bidder for this solicitation qualifies as a DBE, the contract goal shall be deemed to have been met. Individuals who are rebuttably presumed to be socially and economically disadvantaged include women, Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, Asian-Pacific Americans, and Asian-Indian Americans. The apparent successful competitor will be required to submit information concerning the DBE's that will participate in this contract. The information will include the name an d — address on each DBE, a description of the work to be performed by each named firm, and the dollar value of the contract. If the bidder fails to achieve. the contract goal stated herein, it will be required to provide documentation demonstrating that it made good faith efforts in attempting to do so. A bid that fails to meet these requirements will be considered nonresponsive. a G o q o q - o q o q o0 oq o q QQ Q Q wWy" fill ilad yd a ; 3 �p�i �� ;��_�$ � � ��a�� & Al 1iCyB1i111, F MT j I i 1 .1 1 i I M i H I i Q f1 f2 ft Q Q St St 5Qt St Q fi E r i�0 y s !

Be it resolved by the City Council of the City. of Huntsville, Texas, that: The City of Huntsville adopts this "TAX ABATEMENT POLICY": I. POLICY BASIS The City of Huntsville recognizes the need for greater economic development within the City and its extraterritorial jurisdiction, expanding existing industry, diversifying the economic base, and creating new jobs. In this regard, the City of Huntsville adopts a Tax Abatement Policy that will encourage growth to qualified property owners. This tax abatement Policy shall apply to approved present or potential owners of taxable property in the City, who: (1) own or are in the process of acquiring eligible real property in a Reinvestment Zone approved by the City; (2) are willing to execute tax abatement agreements on real property improvement and development designed to provide benefit to the eligible property and to utilize area contractors and work force to the maximum extent feasible; and (3) are operators of new or modernized manufacturing, research distribution, service, administrative, corporate or other business or industry facilities on the subject real property. II. APPLICATION Any present or potential taxable property owner in the City or its ETJ may request a tax abatement on particular real property improvements within a Reinvestment Zone by submitting a written request to the City Manager. The application shall be on form approved by the Council, and shall include: (1) a general description of the proposed use and the general nature and extent of the proposed improvements; (2) an estimate of the number of jobs which will be created by the proposed improvements; (3) a time schedule for undertaking and completing construction of the proposed improvement; (4) a statement of the assessed values of the property, separately stated for real and personal property, for the then current tax year; (5) a financial statement of each applicant showing financial capacity to compote the proposed improvement; and (6) a profile of each of the individual applicant(s) or its officers and directors. Each tax abatement application will be individually reviewed by the City Council and approved or disapproved based on the merits of the application and the guidelines and criteria set forth herein. In addition, in its discretion, the City Council may appoint a Tax Abatement Review Board including residents of major taxing entities within the City, to review and make suggested recommendations to the Council regarding each application. The City, upon the sole approval of the Council, shall by resolution either approve or disapprove each application for tax abatement. The City Manager shall notify the applicant of approval or disapproval. Any disapproved applicant may re-apply for tax abatement. The City Manager shall notify in writing the presiding officer of the governing body of each affected taxing jurisdiction of the receipt of an application, and effort shall be made to coordinate the requested tax abatement with such other taxing jurisdictions, if the abatement is approved by the City Council. III. GUIDELINES AND CRITERIA Before approving an application for tax abatement, City Council must determine that the proposed improvements meet the following guidelines and criteria: A. The proposed abatement will support economic development by expanding existing business or industry, diversifying the economic base of the City, creating new jobs, and/or substantially increasing City tax revenue after the abatement period ends. B. The proposed tax abatement shall not have a substantially adverse effect on City tax base or City budget. C. The proposed improvements and use shall not be adverse to public health, safety or welfare. D. Abatement shall only be granted for the additional value resulting from proposed improvements to eligible property constructed after Janaury 1 of the year in which the tax abatement is granted by official action of City Council. E. Abatement shall be extended only to the improved value of land, building, structures, fixed machinery and equipment and site improvement. F. Abatement shall not be granted for any property on which total or partial ad valorem tax exemption or devaluation currently applies, or is granted during the term of tax abatement. Granting of total or partial ad valorem tax exemption or devaluation to any part of the property during the tax abatement period shall cancel any and all tax abatement on the property, and render the terms of any tax abatement agreement on the property null and void. IV. DISCRETIONARY CONSIDERATION The following matters should be consider by City Council in its discretionary approval or disapproval of each tax abatement application: A. The proposed project should increase City property valuations at least $1,000,000.00. B. The proposed improvement should create a minimum of 15 new permanent jobs in the City upon opening for business, and should promote further employment in the City; or should increase City property valuations substantially over the minimum $1,000,000.00. C. Tax abatement will normally be considered for manufacturing or distribution facilities, corporate office, research parks, or similar facilities, if it can be demonstrated that their development would create substantial capital improvements or jobs. Generally, tax abatement is not designed to encourage speculative office development, retail development, or other service industries that market primarily in Walker County. D. The proposed improvement should not have the sole or primary effect of transferring employment from one part of the City to another. E. Non compliance with this policy shall cause the applicant(s) to repay the taxes abated as per the signed agreement. V. TAX ABATEMENT PLAN Tax abatement shall be granted effective with the January 1 valuation date immediately following the date of completion of improvements. Taxes on improvements shall be abated according to the following schedule: Year of Abatement Percentage of Taxes Abated First 100% Second 100% Third 100% Fourth 100% Fifth 100% Sixth and following 0% Additionally, one hundred percent (100%) of the value of eligible improvements shall be abated for no more than two (2) years during the period of construction of such improvement. Upon completion of improvements, as determined solely by City Council, the five (5) year abatement period shall begin as set forth above. If the period of construction exceeds two (2) years, improvements shall be considered completed for purposes of beginning the five (5) year abatement period. In no event shall the combined construction period and five (5) year period of abatement exceed seven (7) years of tax abatement. VI. AGREEMENT After approval and resolution, the City, through the Cit,, r, shall execute an agreement with the present or potential property owner on standard form as approved by the City Attorney's Office. All tax abatement agreements shall be in writing, and conform to the provisions of Chapter 312 of the Texas Tax Code. VII. SUNSET PROVISION This policy is effective as of April 25 1989 and will remain in force until 1991, at which time all reinvestments zones and tax abatement contracts created by City Council will be reviewed by the City Council to determine whether the goals have been achieved, and whether the policy should be continued.

He said they think they will be substantially in agreement, i.e., 80-907., but periodically, there may be some disagreements about what the city needs versus what the neighborhood needs and what the city sees as best and what the neighborhood sees s best. He said they have to go into this, in a sense, along with the City with that understanding. In addition he said it might be that they might want a private attorneyat some levet and the not telling them to do that and not saying they have to do that, but because there might be some difference, and even thought it might be slight, it might not hurt for the neighborhood to consider the possibility of retaining an attorney at some point. He said that may not be useful, but the Council needs to make it clear to them that the City's interest could diverge slightly as the suit proceeds. Councilmember Gaines agreed with Councilmember Carter, and noted she is also sympathetic and reiterated what Councilmember Carter said in that there may come a time when the residents may not feel that the City is acting in their best interests, but they have to recognize the fact that they are representing the city and those two interests might not coincide. she said she cants them to always know that whatever i' the outcome of this might be, that the City is sympathetic with them and that they are working to bring the best possible solution to this problem, but they do want them to know that at no point will the City be Ij against them, but maybe the circumstances will make it appear that way. She said some things may happen that the City cannot control or they might enter into something that might make it appear that the city is not representing their specific interests. she said they don't know what that might be, but want them to i understand and realize this up frontthat the city is sympathetic and as in any court case, it is going to do the very best for them that it can n possibly do, given the circumstances umstances and whatever might develop from ii that. I Councilmember Green noted he is glad all of the residents are here. He said he thinks it is i� important that they all recognize the fact that they have a valid issue and the fact that they do have deed restrictions is really what gives them the right in court to protect the sanctity of their property, because �i when they went into those agreements, in Fact, it as a voluntary agreement and their Subdivision has remained in tact essentially for 30 years. He said as times change, of course, some times deed restrictions are attacked and here isone of those circumstances. He said he hopes the city's intervention j will benefit the residents because he thinks it is not only for this subdivision but for all subdivisions that have deed restrictions, as the city needs, as best it can, to protect the sanctity of those private j arrangements. He reiterated s of the things s of the others said in that the outcome may not be what any of them want it to be as they cannot guarantee s that because that is going to be ultimately decided by the Court and they do want the residents to recognize the City supports them as they try to protect their. property. I I Mayor Monday then asked for a motion to support a resolution, the caption of which is as follows_ RESOLUTION NO. 90-5 II A RESOLUTION OF THE HUNTSVILLE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO INTERVENE, ON BEHALF OF THE CITY, IN A LAWSUIT TO ENFORCE AND DEFEND DEED RESTRICTIONS IN THE G.

Discussion: Mayor Monday noted she appreciates the phone calls she has received and havingalt of the residents here this evening. She said there will be the very best interaction possible and the Council will be following this case very carefully. She told the residents not to hesitate to call them and interact j with them concerning this. Councilmember Carter said if the residents see them diver Ir What they ant. the Council not be cg back f the" but theCouncil d s want th t to ll hem that. He said they have a good City Attorney, but they need to hear that just as much as he does. He said '! if the residents get upset along the line they should not put all of that burden on the City Attorney �Ibecau a the City Council is n this too and they t to k about itwell., Mr. Cantrell thanked the Mayorr nd Council for their consideration.

Mr. Gene Pipes, City Manager, advised there were four bids received, ranging from $11,411 to $15,143. He then presented the staff's recommendation to award this bid to Spivey Construction in the amount of $11,411, to be funded$5,749.50 from Water [Account No. 07-62-96221 and Streets (Account No. 08-03-91841; Councilmember Gaines made the motion to approve of the bid from Spivey Construction as outlined and funded above and Councilmember Barrett seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. CONSIDER BLACK CHIP ROCK Consider single source purchase of black (lava) chip rock from Vulcan Materials in the amount of $10,680 to be paid from budgeted maintenance funds Mr. Gene Pipes, City Manager, advised the approved 1990 street priority list has 11 streets on it to be seal coated. The amount of chip rock needed to complete the project is 300 tons of grade#5 and 50 tons of grade#4, and will cost as follows: 300 tons of#5 a$30.55=$9,165, or 25 cents less per ton from lost year; and 50 tons of #4 a $30.30 = $1,515, or the same as last year. Since Vulcan Materials is the only source of this type of rock, Mr. Pipes said the city is requesting permission to one source the purchase and to expend the $10,680 from capital street funds. Councilmember Howard made the motion to approve of this one source purchase in the amount of$10 680 as outlined above and Councilmember Gaines seconded the motion Discussion: Councilmember Knotts said the city is paying about double the price to get a higher grade of material, but they could get the same material from East Texas Stone except for the color; however for only 300 tons, it would not make a lot of difference, but if they were to get 3,000 tons, he would express some concern. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously, CONSIDER BIDS POLICE CARS Consider bids for three police cars to Moore-Henry Motors in the amount of$11.900 per unit to be paid from budgeted funds Mr. Gene Pipes, City Manager, advised it is the City's intent to purchase three new 1990 full size cars with police packages. He noted the city considered state contract purchase [$12,298.22/vehicle), H-GAC [$12,025/vehicle], and formal bid [$11,900/vehicle), and chose the formal bid process to get the best ricing. He then presented the lowest bid meeting specifications from Moore.Henry Motors, noting four bids were mailed out. Councilmember Knotts made the motion to approve of the bid to Moore-Henry Motors and ouncilmember Barrett seconded the motion. Discussion: Councilmember Carter noted in many instances, ublic vehicles are bein converted to natural as and there has been some movement in the state of Texas for that to occur. He asked the staff to check on the possibility of natural gas vehicles for the police feet that we are about to urchase over the next 5-10 years. Mr. Pipes said the staff has not moved on his but wants to explore converting the entire fleet. He said it is not a matter of changing anything on he unit but is a matter of safely adding an appropriate attachment to the vehicles and purchasing refueling acks. Councilmember Carter encouraged the staff to look at this because he 'sees this trend developing and it looks like to future for public fleet vehicles of all types and that would include dump trucks and heavy quipment as well. After another question for clarification, all were in favor of the motion on the floor nd it assed unanimousl .

CONSIDER DEPOSITORY CONTRACT Consider the City depositor"contract, act as recommended by the finance committee--Dr. Bill Green, Chairman Mayor Monday noted first of all we will be considering the investment policy portion of this item. Councilmember Green noted the two items for consideration are the depository contract and the related investment policy. He said the depository contract requires that we have in-place an "investment policy." He said the investment policy defines who can invest funds, what the objectives are, responsibility and control, and what are authorized investments according to state law, and it essentially lists only those things which are allowed by state law under various statutes and collateralization requirements, and a few other things that relate to the depository agreement. she said this has been discussed for some time with the fiance and audit committee and they are recommending at this time that the city adopt this investment policy, as presented. Mr. Gene Pipes, City Manager, presented the resolution, the caption of which is as follows: RESOLUTION NO. 90-8 AN RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS, ADOPTING POLICIES FOR INVESTMENTS; AND MAKING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATED THERETO Cou cilmember Green made the motion to adopt Resolution No 90-8 setting out the City's investment policies of March 1 1990 and Councilme ber Knotts seconded the motion All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Green advised that the city's current depository contract with FNB expired on February 20, 1990. He said the committee has been working for some time to develop a new depository contract. He then recommended the city accept the depository contract with First National Bank of Huntsville. Cou cilmember Green made the motion to accept the depository contract with First National Bank and Councitmember Gaines seconded the mot" [Councitmember Hammock advised he is "not voting" on this item and then filed with the City Secretary -'affidavit f substantial interest in a business entity."] All e in favor nd the t" d by a vote of eight with' not voting.-- CONSIDER oting."CONSIDER ELECTRIC POWER TO AN AUTOMATED SURFACE OBSERVATION SYSTEM AT THE AIRPORT Consider a request to pay for electric power to an automated surface observation system at the airport, as _proposed by the F.A.A. and National Weather Service Mr. Glenn Isbell, Director of Design Engineering, advised on February 5, 1990, a survey team from the Planning/Architecture/Engineering/Interiors firm of Leo A. Daly was at the Huntsville Municipal Airport n order to accomplish the site survey work for the Automated surface observation System (ASOS). A letter from its Civil Engineer, Eric R. Pehrson advised this is a joint venture program for the National Weather S rvice (NWS) and the FAA and that associated costs borne by the NWS are procurement. installation and maintenance. Mr. Pehrson advised it is the policy of the NWS, wherever possible, to use power from the FAA; however, when this is not possible, the NWS asks the cities and/or airports to bear the electrical power costs. Mr. Pehrson's letter also noted power consumption for the acquisition control unit is 1300 watts continuous; and that the power for the sensor group can be as much as 2500 watts continuous. He noted the power for the sensor group is dependent upon the ambient air temperature; there are two hearing elements in the data collection package and a heating element in each of the s n o ; thermostats ar e used to maintain the instruments at operating temperature; the colder the climate, the more power will beused; the power i estimated for the Huntsville a a for the sens r group to be much less than the ma - of 2500 watts; it i "mposs"bl to telt tiv whet th po a Quid be as this system is still unde redevelopment; and the MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 27, 1990 COUNCIL MEETING BOOK"0" 45 estimated monthly costd 'n cold weather could be as high as $250, based upon$.09/kwh. The Council was advised by his letter that the NUS is asking the City to pay for the cost of power for this equipment, however, if the city canMr.rnot afford this cost, other arrangements wilt have to be made but the airport will stLit receive ASOS. MI b ll advised d' t P h s the power consumption would be $3 000 per year. Mr. Pipes said this system is accessed b/ radio to give the onground conditions at the Huntsville Municipal A' port 24 hours a day, 365 days per year without need for manual intervention. He said the. ecIuipment will ` -a ^ • - Located windsock sidef the ' port and will be i an independent structure and will need tbheated d dcooled in orderto be operated and maintained property. He said the entire installation t noted above. will be borne by the Nw5 and FAA He said the City needs to assure that it will pay f the electrical is which could u as high as $3.000 per year as Mr. Pehrsonsr letter advised. He said the installation OIL not take place rapidly enough to seriously impact this current year budget, which only has $5,000 budgeted for airport maintenance. He said with the Council's concurrence, an authorization will be made of funds up to$3,000 per year to be expended for the electricity. He said the city should have a good track record by next year's budget and will be able to go on from there. He said ref s l to fund the ASOS wilt not necessarily kill the project but it will cause the FAA and the NNS to took Lse h f a possible so f f ndand could indicate somewhat of a"lack of support"on the part of the 'tv f th concurrti d grant t Lure by theFAA f of the Huntsville Airport. He strongly urged their ence with this request. Councilme b r Barrett ode the otion to approve the authorization of up to E3,000 to fund of ectrici[V for the oyer [ion of the AS system and Councilmember Gaines seconded the motion. Discussion: Cauncitmember Bell asked if this means the City of Huntsville Oil appear on the Weather Channel, as a monitoring station. Mr. Pipes said he did not know how that information is gained. He said this is free airinformation that might be able to be accessed for that purpose. Mayor Monday felt this will be a great asset for the number of planes that ace our airport. Mr. Knotts thought one might be able to call in and get the weather at this station. Mayor Monday said she is pleased this equipment wilt be funded by FAA and felt there i a lot of merit to continuing the city's excellent working relationship with FAA. All were in fav and te motion passed unanimously. CONSIDER ALTERATIONS TO BASEBALL COMPLEX Cid p p'2'0 Lt t' t thefacilities t K [ e R Baseball compt proposed by the Boy's Baseball Association.

The investigators are divided into teams, each of which receive target and location assignments from the Task Force Commander. The Commander, in turn, monitors the investigators' actions and time to ensure maximum productivity on each investigation daily. Additionally, all investigations are conducted through the knowledge and approval of the District Attorney's Office to ensure each case is completed lawfully with all due process. The Task Force is ultimately monitored by a board comprised of the Walker County Sheriff, Madison County Sheriff, Walker County District Attorney, Huntsville Police Chief, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Internal Affairs Assistant Director. This board is continually advised of all actions of the Task Force by the Task Force Commander. All expenditures by the Task Force are audited monthly by the Walker County Auditor's Office to ensure all expenses are incurred through the auditor's policies and procedures. All expenditures from the grant are additionally audited by the State Auditor's Office. At the end of each grant year, an additional audit must be conducted by a neutral outside auditor. Constant checks and balances exist to ensure no money is spent without justification. The grant request for 1991 is $339,546.00, which is $110,428.00 or a 67g increase over 1990's grant. The matching funds request is $84,886.00 which is a $28,737.00 or a 66* increase over 1990's grant. The major portion of this increase is a request for three additional personnel. The Task Force is requesting an additional investigator (salary and benefits = $29,500) because of the increased demands from the community. The District Attorney's Office is requesting an additional prosecutor (salary & benefits = $47,500) to prosecute the increased cases from the Task Force. The District Clerk is requesting an additional clerk (salary & benefits = $13,000) to handle the increase in paperwork generated from the Task Force. There is a request to increase confidential funds by $15,000 due to the Task Force expending last year's request of $5,000 in the first quarter. Additional increases are $8,000 in car rentals, $8,000 in phone service, $4,200 in undercover operations, $1,200 in office supplies, $2,400 in utilities, and $1,100 in training. The major decrease in last year's grant request is the $20,000 granted for equipment. There is no request for equipment for 1991. The Task Force has investigated 217 cases and closed 145 of those cases. The Task Force has arrested 80 drug offenders, many of them have been arrested multiple times. There have been 126 charges against the 80. The Task Force has seized narcotics from the streets of Walker and Madison Counties valued at $15,000. Property has been seized valued at $10,000. $220,000 in currency has been seized. Of this $2220,000 seized, VE 7-7000 has been forfeited. of the $177,000 forfeited, 5$ 6,000 was 25t cash match on 1990 grant, $45,000 was to fund the Drug Prosecution Unit, and $17,000 was to purchase equipment and supplies not funded on grant. Adding $6,000 contributed by participatFng entities, there remains6$ 5,000 in CETNTF funds. There exists $41,000 in seized funds that have not been forfeited to date. There exists an additional $30,000 in program income which will be dedicated to cash match. If the existing account remains intact, the Task Force will remain to be self-sufficient. ,,'��4 ZX4ZX Gar L. owze Commanpde�, CETNTF FF Da a Myers sheriff, Walker,- ount j�!� ks [_�I avid eks Distrittorney, Wa ker County Travis Neely S�iiff adison ounty k,iLV&ant Ass't �Director o1/f/f I-nteer-nal Affairs Hank Eckhardt Chief, Huntsville Police Dept. r �o_ RECORDS SERIES TITLE: Ordinances,Orders,Resolutions SCHEDULE NO.: 1000-05 CONTENTS OF FILE: Resolution 91-6 Telephone Franchise Steering Committee 03-28-91 RESOLUTION NO. 91-Co A RESOLUTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF MiniTSy/G LF TEXAS, APPROVING PARTICIPATION IN TELEPHONE FRANCHISE STEERING COMMITTEE;AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE WHEREAS,the City has a public responsibility to protect the public rights-of-way and easements and to require the telephone company to assume certain duties and responsibilities regarding such easements and rights-of-way by means of reasonable terms and conditions in a franchise ordinance;and WHEREAS, a steering committee of cities could share information, develop a model ordinance, obtain special legal and auditing counsel and provide further assistance to the member cities in the adoption of franchise ordinances with the telephone utility company; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of _/&17ts4Z&E ,Texas: Section 1.

Heeuraged the Council to open that discussion at this time as it is considering next year's budget. He said he I.as available as anyone can be to talk about how to make it work for the benefit of the community. Mayor Hodges said Mr. Mead has been discussing this with some staff members for the past two to three weeks, so there has been some conversation going on about this. He said the city currently spends some$50,000 a year on various HEAP activities and if the Council would like to consider this, the city could possibly transfer some of the HEAP activities through the YMCA. He said Mike has assured him that as HEAP does not charge for people who can't pay, the YMCA will not charge those who cannot pay. He said he would like to consider transferring some of those activities to the YMCA and even subsidizing them for several years until they really get on their feet; it may be an opportunity for the city to cooperate with the Y. He asked if there are any comments or questions. Councilmember Knotts felt it is well worth looking into and this is the type of privatization that he has been hollering about for years. lie said he feels the city can become more efficient. Councilmomber Green asked Mr.Mead to make the council aware of some of the activities the YMCA is currently involved in and those activities he sees where there is duplication that could be transferred. He said it is hard to make a recommendation other than to begin talking about something a Little more concrete. Mr.Mead said he can provide extensive or minimal information,whatever is requested. Mr. !lodges asked Mr.Mead to continue his discussions with Mr. J. D. Schindler or other staff with whom he has been working. ATTENDING CITIZENS The Progressive Women's Association of Huntsville to present a matching funds contribution for the improvements in the Martin Luther King Neighborhood Center Ms.Bernita MitcheLt, Chairman of the Committee for the Martin Luther King Center, introduced the other members of the Progressive Women's Association in attendance, as fo[Lows: Mary Robertson, Lynn Kelley, Ercia Cole, Erma Gambrel[, JoAnn Purvis, Enna Merchant, and lesa Minor. Ms. Mitchell said this organization raised $1,500 to be matched by city funds so that tables, chairs and a P.A. system can be purchased for the Martin Luther King Neighborhood Center. She presented$1,500 to Mayor Hodges, who thanked the organization for the check, noting they do a sensational job in promoting and conducting the annual Juneteenth Parade. He observed it would seem that because this organization always seems to be able to meet the challenge for this city matching program, this arrangement could go on for several years. lie then presented the check to Patricia Allen, Director of Finance. Councilmember Barrett noted the city should cooperate with them to the full extent to try to keep the facilities in good condition, as Councilmember Robinson has suggested on several occasions. lie felt in addition to the Police monitoring the building and area and the city's regular maintenance of the facility, the Council should continue to work with this organization. Mayor Hodges noted that is a good point. He again thanked the Progressive Women's Association for their$1,500 check.

He said reminded the Council of their budget discussions on Saturday and noted this would be one of those initiatives [on page 201 that would come off the top before any other decision package. He said if the council commits to this resolution tonight, which obviously has a great deal of benefit to the community if the city is successful in receiving the grant, then that$13,500 would need to be factored out of that$368,000+/- that is available. Councilmember Knotts made the motion to approve of Resolution No 91-8 and Cou citmember Carter seconded the motion. All were no favor and the motion passed unanimously.

Receipt of an allocation will allow SETH to issue tax exempt bonds to provide funds for the financing of home mortgage loans to persons of low and moderate income within the jurisdictional boundaries of SETH. Walker County is a sponsor of SETH. Thus, SETH is able to finance home mortgage loans in Walker County. However,SETH is required to obtain the approval of any municipality with more than 20,000 inhabitants that is located in a sponsoring county before exercising its authority with respect to mortgage loans for homes located within the municipality. For this reason, SETH is requesting that the city council of Huntsville adopt a resolution granting the requisite approval. For your convenience, a draft form of resolution is enclosed. Because SETH's application is due at the beginning of January,its is important that the resolution be adopted as early as possible this month. Therefore, we would appreciate it if this matter could be placed on the council's agenda immediately. We would be happy to assist you in any way or answer any questions you may have regarding this matter.

Y Y Planting Season 0 Shade and ornamental trees may be planted November 1,1994,through April 30,1995. Palms may be planted from March 1,1995 through August 31,1995. Method of Planting 1. All trees should bemoved balled-and-burlapped or container-grown. Balled-and- burlapped trees and trees moved with tree spades should be planted as soon as possible after digging. If trees must be stored,root balls must be kept moist and protected from the elements. 2. Containerized planting stock should be inspected prior to planting. Any roots that encircle the root ball and might strangle the tree once planted should be removed. 3. Trees should be planted no deeper than previously grown. Planting holes should be twice the diameter of the root ball. 4. Only the soil removed from the planting hole may be used as backfill,unless some other mixture is specifically approved in advance by the TFS Forester. After Planting Care 1. Trees should be watered thoroughly after planting. Earthen tree wells should be constructed to facilitate water collection and retention. Soil other than that dug from the planting hole may be used when constructing these berms. 2. Only a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer treatment is authorized at the time of planting. The TFS Forester may authorize other fertilizer treatments based on a soil analysis,which is the preferred recommendation. Page 3 SBA Tree Planting Program Grant Agreement--Exhibit A Tree Planting Specifications 3. A layer of mulch 3 to 4 inches deep is required at the time of planting. Mulch may be either bark granules or chunks,wood chips,or composted leaves. Other materials may be approved by the TFS Forester. 4. The lower trunk of thin-barked trees exposed to the sun should be protected with a waterproof wrapping material to prevent sun scald. This material should be removed after the first growing season. 5. Corrective pruning at transplanting consists ofremoval of dead or injured branches and water sprouts. No other pruning is permitted at planting unless approved by the TFS forester. 6. Trees must be staked at the time of planting using a two or three-point support system. Any staking mechanism should be flexible enough to allow the stem and root system to develop strength. If used,metal guy wires must not touch the tree directly! Instead, attach the tree to either wood or metal stakes(2"X 2"X 6)with wide plastic or nylon straps. Duckbill®earth anchors,or similar products with protective tree collars,may also be used. Stakes must not be driven through the root ball and must be removed the second year. Regular Maintenance 1. Ample soil moisture must be maintained throughout the first and second growing season. This can be determined by feeling the upper layer of the soil for moisture. Supplement rainfall as necessary,usually one to two times per week for hand-watering. Irrigation systems should provide for individual tree emitters and systems should be checked regularly to make sure they are working properly. Watering can be skipped if natural rainfall totals I inch or more since the last scheduled watering. Do not overwater! 2. Mulches must be renewed regularly in order to maintain a depth of 3-4"and a radius of24-36"from the trunk of each tree for the three year maintenance period. Proper mulching helps retain water,moderates soil temperature,and can reduce the need for weed control. 3. Tree wells must be kept weed free for the three year maintenance period. This can be accomplished by pulling weeds on a monthly basis or by using a contact herbicide like Glyphosate(Roundup®)according to the label instructions at least twice during the growing season. Prior to spraying herbicides,remove all sprouts on the tree at ground level and be sure that no herbicide comes into contact with the tree's leaf surface. Mechanical weedeaters and soil-active herbicides may not be used! 4. Established plant materials require a balanced fertilizer for foliage growth at the beginning of each growing season.

CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS Mayor ATTES City Secretary 0210513 �� e' FIRST SODUMT COMPANY i SII MEMORANDUM TO: Gene Pipes Patricia Allen FROM: Boyd London Joe Morrow DATE: November 10 1994 RE: City of Huntsville Budgeted Project Financing I ANTICIPATION NOTES Anticipation Notes are a relatively new financing tool for Cities. They are authorized by an ordinance passed by the City Council. There is no publication of notice or other formality required. The term of the noted,may be no longer than seven years from the approval date of the Attorney General to final maturity. The notes are secured by a single source of revenues pledged to the repayment of the notes. Anticipation notes offer the advantage of being issued within a short time frame. CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION Certificates of Obligation have been available as a financing tool for cities since the early 1970's. They are authorized by an ordinance passed by the City Council. There is a publication requirement that must be met prior to issuance. A notice of intent to issue must be published two times with the first publication being at least fifteen days prior to authorization. A petition of at least 5%of the registered voters,if presented prior to authorization,may force an election be held for voted authorization of the certificates. The term of the certificates may be no longer than 40 years. The certificates are secured by a tax and a pledge of revenues from another source(water and sewer in this case). COST OF ISSUANCE Please see the attached schedule for estimated issuance expenses. These expenses will be included in the size of the issue.! 3� INVEtRMEN't BANKERS T70u Luuiaian,r 51nr1,Sui1r.7G0 f Inushnt,'li'xu,77002.5219.71.1-655-2600•FAX 713-(55-269d ZO'd 800'oN 6Z:ST G6.OT 6011 869Z-SS9-£TL:GI N1SH-MSJ T SPECIFIC OPTIONS FOR HUNTSVILLE The City of Huntsville may use either notes or certificates to finance the listed projects. Since the maximum term of the tax(notes is seven years, a longer amortization schedule would necessitate the use of the certificates. Attached are two debt service schedules that illustrate the use of notes for a seven year term and certificates for a ten year term. Interest rates used are based upon market conditions on November 9, 1994. RECOMMENDATION It is our recommendation that the City of Huntsville issue the Anticipation Notes with a tax pledge. This way,the City may obtain the lowest interest cost possible and use the receipts of the water and sewer funds with)taxes for repayment. £0'd 800'ON 6Z:SI b6,01 AON 8692-SS9-£IL:l1I N1SH-MSd i City of Huntsville Budgeted Projects for 1995 Total By %By General Fund Amount Fund Fund Tractor-Parks/Grcenbelt $ 25,000 Swimming Pool Resurfacing 31,000 Roof repair-Service Ccnter 36,000 Carpct-MJC Building20,000 Library Modifications/A.D.A. 210,737 322,737 23% Water And Sewer Fund Recondition Ave.J Watcr Tower 200,000 Aerial Mapping 570,000 Public Works Hardware/Software 300,000 1,070,000 77% $ 1,392,737 100% Issue Sizing Required Project Funds S 1,392,737 Estimated issuance Costs 25,000 Rounding 2,263 Total issue Si-c S 1,420,000 3� b0'd 800'oN 6Z:ST G6,01 I'�1ON 869Z—SS9—£TZ:QI N1SH—MSd City of Huntsville Estimated Issuance Costs Issue Size of 51,420,000 Estimated Item Cost Financial Advisor $ 10,600 Official Statement Printing 3,500 Distribution 750 Bond Counsel 2,500 Bond Counsel Expenses 500 Attorney General fee 750 Ratings' 6,000 Paying Agent Registrar 350 Coni ingency 50 Total $ 25,000 "Interest Rates for a non-rated issue would be approximately 50 basis points higher.

Before the City can know what amount General Obligation Bond Issue can be funded with no tax increase, a determination must be made as,to the distribution of the Elkins Lake debt. In addition to these debt issues,the FY 94-95 budget outlined several projects that were to be funded with debt. The[napping project did not include the newly annexed areas and the Public Works computer project was a multi-phase project. The City can issue a certificate of obligation to the vendor if the payment is[Wade in a lump sum amount at acceptance of the purchased item.

Palms may be planted from March 1,1995 through August 31,1995. Method of Plantin 1. All trees should be moved balled-and-burlapped or container-grown. Balled-and- burlapped trees and trees'moved with tree spades should be planted as soon as possible after digging. If trees must be stored,root balls must be kept moist and protected from the elements. 2. Containerized planting stock should be inspected prior to planting. Any roots that encircle the root ball and might strangle the tree once planted should be removed. 3. Trees should be planted no deeper than previously grown. Planting holes should be twice the diameter of the root ball. 4. Only the soil removed from the planting hole may be used as backfill,unless some other mixture is specifically approved in advance by the TFS Forester. After Planting Care 1. Trees should be watered thoroughly after planting. Earthen tree wells should be constructed to facilitate water collection and retention. Soil other than that dug from the planting hole may be used when constructing these berms. 2. Only a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer treatment is authorized at the time of planting. The TFS Forester may authorize other fertilizer treatments based on a soil analysis,which is the preferred recommendation. Page 3 i SBA Tree Planting Program Grant Agreement--Exhibit A Tree Planting Specifications 3. A layer of mulch 3 to 4 inches deep is required at the time of planting. Mulch may be either bark granules or chunks,wood chips,or composted leaves. Other materials may be approved by the TFS Foreister. 4. The lower trunk of thin-barked trees exposed to the sun should be protected with a waterproof wrapping material to prevent sun scald. This material should be removed after the first growing season, 5. Corrective pruning at trad splanting consists of removal of dead or injured branches and water sprouts. No other piruning is permitted at planting unless approved by the TFS forester. 6. Trees must be staked at the time of planting using a two or three-point support system. Any staking mechanism should be flexible enough to allow the stem and root system to develop strength. If used',metal guy wires must not touch the tree directly! Instead, attach the tree to either wood or metal stakes(2"X 2"X 6)with wide plastic or nylon straps. Duckbill®earth anchors,or similar products with protective tree collars,may also be used. Stakes must not be driven through the root ball and must be removed the second year. eegular Maintenance 1. Ample soil moisture must be maintained throughout the first and second growing season. This can be determined by feeling the upper layer of the soil for moisture. Supplement rainfall as necessary,usually one to two times per week for hand-watering. Imgation systems should provide for individual tree emitters and systems should be checked regularly to make sure they are working properly. Watering can be skipped if natural rainfall totals 1 ini h or more since the last scheduled watering. Do not overwater! I 2. Mulches must be renewed regularly in order to maintain a depth of 34"and a radius of 24-36"from the trunk of each tree for the three year maintenance period. Proper mulching helps retain water,moderates soil temperature,and can reduce the need for weed control. 3. Tree wells must be kept weed free for the three year maintenance period. This can be accomplished by pulling weeds on a monthly basis or by using a contact herbicide like Glyphosate(Roundup®)according to the label instructions at least twice during the growing season. Prior to;spraying herbicides,remove all sprouts on the tree at ground level and be sure that no herbicide comes into contact with the tree's leaf surface. Mechanical weedeaters and soil-active herbicides may not be used! 4. Established plant materials require a balanced fertilizer for foliage growth at the beginning of each growing season.
