Police Chief Hogg related that permission had been given a year
ago to apply for a grant for a crime victim's assistance office.
There was some controversy regarding whether a peace officer was
required to fill this position or if it could be filled by a
civilian. These issues were resolved and the grant was received
in the amount of $46,900. Detective Colson has been placed in
this position, Chief Hogg informed. Mr. Hogg stated the purpose
of this ordinance is to allow him to replace one detective in the
department.
If this is approved, hopefully, a clerk can be added to the CID
unit so that more officers can be on the street. Funds are
available in the budget, Chief Hogg stated.
Discussion followed regarding percentage of next year's funding
and it was noted the next item on the agenda is a resolution
requesting permission to apply for next year's funding for this
office.
Growth and crime rates were discussed and Chief Hogg stated he
wished the department to become proactive rather than reactive.
State requirements for this office were discussed. Chief Hogg
stated he would like to give one of the patrolmen an opportunity
to move to the detective unit and hire a new patrolman. The
number of peace officers, with the passage of this ordinance on
final reading, will go from 26 to 27.
The clerk's position and duties were discussed as well as funding
for this job. There was some discussion of hiring two clerks.
The increase/decrease in the number of peace officers over the
last few years was discussed.
After more discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Smith,
seconded by Councilmember Frank, that Ordinance No. 450-11 be
adopted on its first reading.
Lengthy discussion again followed regarding funding, number of
clerks, and legal mandates.
Councilmember Smith called for the question.

DIRECTION TO CITY MANAGER TO DEVELOP A COST ESTIMATE FOR THE
EXTENSION OF RANDALL DRIVE TO BARRY ROSE ROAD
Councilmember Weber informed that he and Councilmember Colson had
discussed the possibility of opening Randall Drive in Regency
Park Subdivision through to Barry Rose Road to help the flow of
traffic. Councilmember Frank later agreed with him to ask that
this item be put on the agenda to obtain an estimate.
A lengthy discussion followed regarding the expected opinions of
those citizens residing in Regency Park and whether the new
apartment dwellers would cut through Regency Park to get out on
FM 518. It was noted that the only way out of the Regency Park
Subdivision onto FM 518, currently, is on Byron Street which
creates an extensive problem during peak traffic hours. The
status of the widening of Barry Rose at FM 518 to allow for a
turning lane was discussed and City Manager Grohman informed
condemnation documents had been filed in court last week and it
should only be a few weeks before this project can be started.
It was noted that the extension of Plum or Orange Streets had
been mentioned in the past to tie into Barry Rose Road. Mr.
Grohman explained that Orange Street was the more likely. Howev-
er, at this time, Orange Street might be less controversial but
would be much more expensive.
Councilmember Frank recalled that he and former Councilmember
Wolff had visited with the School Board last year and Orange
Street was discussed as the tie-in. The difference between the
costs for each street to be opened into Barry Rose Road was
discussed which was estimated to be 1/2 million for Orange Street
and $30-40,000 for Randall Drive.
It was moved by Councilmember Weber, seconded by Councilmember
Frank, that City Manager Grohman and Staff be authorized to
develop a cost estimate for extending Randall Drive to Barry Rose
Road.
Motion passed 4 to 0.
ACCEPTANCE OF OAKBROOK SUBDIVISION, SECTION TWO, BENTON/BLAND
INTERESTS, INC., DEVELOPER
City Engineer John Hargrove reported that all requirements had
been met and the letter from the Drainage District, which had
been the cause of this item being passed to a future agenda at
the last Council meeting, has been received. Mr. Hargrove recom-
mended acceptance of this subdivision.
It was moved by Councilmember Weber, seconded by Councilmember
Frank, that Oakbrook Subdivision, Section Two, be accepted by the
City.
Motion passed 4 to 0.

VELOPER

AUTHORIZATION FOR CITY MANAGER TO ENGAGE A COMPUTER SPECIALIST
City Manager Grohman recommended the City engage a computer
specialist that is not a vendor to assist with a long-range plan
to develop computer usage, working with the Staff for both imme-
diate and long-term needs. This specialist would recommend
appropriate equipment and $200,000 has been appropriated in this
year's budget to upgrade our computer system. Mr. Grohman recom-
mended an expenditure of $27,000 to the Accord Group of Richard-
son, Texas, to do this work. They have an extensive background
in dealing with cities of our size.
City Manager Grohman noted that Councilmember Frank had brought
to his attention a firm the City had consulted with last year and
informed that Mr. Frank had asked that this firm be given consid-
eration also. Mr. Grohman stated he had no problem in talking
with them but urged that this not be done on a cost basis. This
type service does not fall under the bidding laws because of the
high-tech service provided. Closing his remarks, Mr. Grohman
briefly noted some of the clients of the Accord firm.
It was moved by Councilmember Smith, seconded by Councilmember
Weber, that the City Manager be authorized to engage a computer
specialist of his choosing.
Councilmember Frank discussed the clients of the computer spe-
cialists who the City had dealt with previously and stated he
felt cost numbers were a consideration.
There followed a discussion regarding which firm would be the
best for the City's interests. City Manager Grohman reiterated
he did not mind talking with these people but urged that a deci-
sion be made soon.
Councilmember Frank noted this company had looked at our system
over a year ago and, possibly, could save us a lot of money. Mr.
Frank stated there was a lot of difference between $7,200 and
$27,000. Closing his remarks, Councilmember Frank asked that
this firm be given consideration, and stated that if this firm is
found lacking in what the City's need is, he had no problem with
retaining the other firm.
Mayor Coppinger asked Councilmember Smith to repeat his motion
who stated his motion was "for the City Manager to be authorized
to engage a computer specialist of his choosing."
Councilmember Miller stated that, while he didn't distrust any-
one, it seemed the motion was open-ended, the equivalent of a
blank check, and suggested that limits be authorized.
City Manager Grohman stated he had no problem with this but
stressed that we not use a vendor who will attempt to sell us his
equipment. Mr. Grohman noted some of the problems areas in some
of the City's departments and the lack of overall communication
between offices.
The maker and seconder of the motion amended the motion to limit
the amount to be spent in engaging a computer specialist to
$27,700.
Motion passed 4 to 0.
