authority to utilize police power regulation for the health, safety, and general welfare of
the citizens of the city; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lake Jackson, Texas is deeply
concerned about the numerous and recent occurrences in our state and elsewhere,

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE
JACKSON, TEXAS:
SECTION 1: That Chapter 77 of the Code of Ordinances is hereby established
to read as follows:
Chapter 77: Sexual Offenders
Sec. 77-1 Findings and Intent
Repeat sexual offenders, sexual offenders that use physical violence and sexual
offenders who prey on children are sexual predators who present an extreme
threat to the public safety. Sexual offenders are extremely likely to use physical
violence and to repeat their offenses and most sexual offenders commit many
offenses, have many more victims than are ever reported, and are prosecuted for
only a fraction of their crimes. This makes the cost of sexual offender
victimization to society at large, while incalculable, clearly exorbitant.
It is the intent of this ordinance to serve the city’s compelling interest to promote,
protect and improve the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City by
creating areas around locations where children regularly congregate in
concentrated numbers wherein certain sexual offenders and sexual predators are
prohibited from establishing temporary or permanent residences.
Sec. 77-2 Definitions
The following words, terms, and phrases, when used in this section, shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly
indicates a different meaning:
“Permanent residence” means a place where the sexual offender abides,
lodges or resides for 14 or more consecutive days.
“Temporary residence” means a place where the sexual offender abides,
lodges or resides for a period of 14 or more days in the aggregate during
any calendar year and which is not the person’s permanent address, or a
place where the person routinely abides, resides or lodges for a period of
4 or more consecutive or nonconsecutive days in any month and which is
not the person’s permanent residence.
Sec. 77-3 Sexual Offenders Residence Prohibition; Penalties; Exceptions
a) If a person is required to register on the Department of Public Safety’s Sex
Offender Database because of a violation involving a victim who was less
than seventeen (17) years of age, it is unlawful for the person to establish
a permanent residence or temporary residence within 1000 feet of any
premises where children commonly gather, including but not limited to, a
school, day care facility, playground, public or private youth center, public
swimming pool, video arcade facility, or children’s oriented eating
establishments, as those terms are defined in Article 481.134 of the
Health and Safety Code of the State of Texas. It shall be prima facie
evidence that this chapter applies to such a person if the person’s record
appears on the Database and the Database indicates that the victim was
less than seventeen (17) years of age.
b) For the purpose of determining the minimum distance separation, the
requirement shall be measured by following a straight line from the outer
property line of the permanent or temporary residence to the nearest
property line of the premises where children commonly gather, as
described herein.
c) A sexual offender described in Section 77-3(a), above, shall on each
October 30th and 31st between the hours of 4 pm and 11 pm display a sign
with at least 2 inch lettering on all accessible exterior doors of his or her
residence as well as posting a sign with at least 2” lettering along the
sidewalk leading to the front door of the residence, stating “Sexual
Predator Residence”.
d) Penalties. Any person, firm or corporation who violates this ordinance
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be
punished by a fine not to exceed FIVE HUNDRED AND NO/100’S
DOLLARS ($500.00).
e) Exceptions. A person residing within 1000 feet of those places where
children commonly gather, as specified herein does not commit a violation
of this ordinance if any of the following apply:
(1) The person established the permanent or temporary residence and
has complied with all the sex offender registration laws of the State of
Texas, prior to the date of the adoption of this ordinance.
(2) The person was a minor when he/she committed the offense and was
not convicted as an adult.
(3) The person is a minor.
(4) The premises where children commonly gather, as specified herein,
within 1000 feet of the person’s permanent or temporary residence
was opened after the person established the permanent or temporary
residence and complied with all sex offender registration laws of the
State of Texas.
Sec. 77-4: Property Owners Prohibited from Renting Real Property to Sexual
Offenders; Penalties
a) It is unlawful to let or rent any place, structure or part thereof,
manufactured home, trailer, or other conveyance, with the knowledge that
it will be used as a permanent residence or temporary residence by any
person prohibited from establishing such permanent residence or
temporary residence pursuant to the terms of this ordinance, if such place,
structure or part thereof, manufactured home, trailer, or other conveyance,
is located within 1000 feet of any premises where children commonly
gather, including but not limited to, a school, daycare facility, playground,

shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be

ITEM #: 17/D
AGENDA REQUEST FORM
ITEM CAPTION:
Consider approval of a resolution authorizing the use of Community Development Block Grant funds from FY
2006 in the amount of $59,284 for the installation of Americans with Disabilities Act compliant automatic doors at
the Coppell Aquatic and Recreation Center and the William T. Cozby Public Library, and for the completion of the
FY 2005 funded project - Samuel Boulevard Curb Ramps (SW 05-01), and authorizing the City Manager to
execute the necessary documents for such funds; and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
GOAL(S):
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Approval of this agenda item will allow the city to submit an official application to Dallas County to request
approval to utilize its allocated FY 2006 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for the
installation of automatic doors at the Coppell Aquatic and Recreation Center and the William T. Cozby Public
Library, and for the completion of the FY 2005 funded project - Samuel Boulevard Curb Ramps (SW 05-01).
Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.

MEMORANDUM
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering and Public Works
DATE:May 23, 2006
REF:Consider approval of a resolution authorizing the use of Community Development
Block Grant funds from FY 2006 in the amount of $59,284 for the installation of
Americans with Disabilities Act compliant automatic doors at the Coppell Aquatic
and Recreation Center and the William T. Cozby Public Library, and for the
completion of the FY 2005 funded project - Samuel Boulevard Curb Ramps (SW
05-01), and authorizing the City Manager to execute the necessary documents for
such funds; and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
The City of Coppell is eligible to receive $59,824 in FY 2006 CDBG funding from Dallas
County on October 1, 2006. The city is interested in utilizing the new FY 2006 funding and is
completing the requirements of the allocation process.
The public meeting for citizen input on possible projects for CDBG FY 2006 funding was held
on April 25, 2006. Following the meeting, it was decided that the installation of automatic doors
at the Coppell Aquatic and Recreation Center (CARC) and the William T. Cozby Public Library
would be an appropriate project. The remaining funds from FY 2006 would be used towards the
completion of the FY 2005 funded project - Samuel Boulevard Curb Ramps.
The existing swing, double-doors at the front, front vestibule, back and back vestibule entries to
CARC meet the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards for door opening force
required to push or pull a door open. However, most of the activities at the center require the
individual to have their own exercise and/or swimming equipment. Opening these doors while
carrying equipment can be difficult for someone with a disability. Many of these individuals are
seniors and persons in rehabilitation and an automatic door would better meet their needs.
There is a pair of single-doors at the front entry and a pair of single doors at the vestibule entry to
the library. One of the single-doors at each of the entries is an ADA compliant, push-button,
automatic swing door. The other single-doors are swing doors that also meet ADA standards.
The automatic doors swing in one direction and have numerous maintenance problems due to
children playing with the buttons and the wind catching the front entry door when it is in the
process of swinging shut. It is no longer economical to maintain the automatic doors at each of
the entries and they need to be replaced with another type of automatic door system.
The existing double-doors at the front, front vestibule, back and back vestibule entries to CARC
will be removed and replaced with a biparting automatic sliding door system. The pair of
single-doors at the front entry and the pair of single-doors at the vestibule entry to the library will
be removed and replaced with a biparting automatic sliding door system. All of the door systems
at both facilities will have two-way motion sensors, dual safety beams, and threshold presence
sensors. Providing ADA compliant, automatic doors at CARC and the library will benefit the
entire city.
The estimated cost for the development of the bid specifications, removal of the existing doors,
and the installation of biparting automatic sliding door systems at the CARC and library is
$53,668.00. This leaves $5,616.00 remaining in FY 2006 funding that we will request to be
added to the FY 2005 funds for the completion of the Samuel Boulevard Curb Ramps project.
The estimated cost for the design survey and construction of the Samuel Boulevard Curb Ramps
project was $72,205.00. The city has FY 2005 funds in the amount of $72,379.68. Increased
surveying costs, and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation requirements have
increased the estimated cost of the project to $77,165.00.
The Project/Activity Application for each project along with a resolution authorizing the
submission of the proposed projects must be submitted to Dallas County by May 26, 2006.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution authorizing the use of FY 2006 Community
Development Block Grant funds for the installation of Americans with Disabilities Act
compliant automatic doors at the Coppell Aquatic and Recreation Center and the William T.
Cozby Public Library and for the completion of the FY 2005 funded project - Samuel Boulevard
Curb Ramps (SW 05-01).

ITEM CAPTION: Consider approval of a Resolution suspending the proposal by Atmos Energy Corporation to
implement interim GRIP rate adjustments, providing for notice hereof to said company, and authorizing the Mayor
to sign.
GOAL(S):
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Staff recommends suspension of the proposal to implement this annual rate increase
(GRIP surcharges), and to participate jointly with the other affected cities to retain consultants for an independent
analysis of the Atmos Energy’s request. Based on our gas rate attorney’s recommendation, suspension of the
proposed rate increases or surcharges is more prudent and effective than denying, as recommended by Atmos.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Cities Served by Atmos Energy Corp., Mid-Tex Division
FROM: Geoffrey Gay
Kristen Doyle
Georgia Crump
DATE: March 31, 2006
RE: Atmos 2005 GRIP filing
Atmos began serving its 2005 investment year GRIP filing on the Atmos Energy Mid-
Tex cities yesterday. The application states that the residential surcharge will be $.51 per month.
This is significantly higher than the previous two GRIP surcharges for residential customers of
$.29 per month. If no action is taken on the filing, the surcharge will become effective on
May 30, 2006. The Gas Standing Steering Committee will soon initiate the process of reviewing
the filing and analyzing the effect that the pending rate investigation has upon the ability of
Atmos to seek a GRIP surcharge. You will be informed of Committee findings, conclusions, and
recommendations, and you will be provided with draft resolutions or ordinances reflecting those
recommendations.
At this time, we recommend that you adopt a resolution suspending the effective date of
the 2005 GRIP filing for an additional 45 days. A model resolution is attached for your use, as
well as a model staff report. Although you have until May 30th to take action on the filing, you
may schedule the suspension resolution for adoption by your governing body at any time prior to
May 30th. By adoption of the resolution, you will have until July 13, 2006, to take final action on
the filing.
Please contact Geoffrey, Kristen or Georgia if you have any questions or require
additional information.
J:\Agenda Requests\2006\10May 23, 2006\$Atmosgriprate-2memo.Doc
MODEL STAFF REPORT
ON ATMOS MID-TEX GRIP SUSPENSION RESOLUTION
Purpose of the Resolution:
The law mandates that a Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program (GRIP) surcharge request
cannot become effective until sixty (60) days following the filing. The effective date may be
suspended by a city for 45 days. If the City does not take action to suspend the filing, the
Company may begin implementing a monthly surcharge ($0.51 on all residential customers,
$1.75 for commercial customers, and $$78.47 for industrial customers) on or after May 30, 2006.
The resolution suspends the effective date to the maximum extent permitted by law to allow the
cities time to evaluate the filing, determine whether the filing complies with law, and if lawful, to
determine whether the surcharge is reasonable. This is particularly important given that the Gas
Standing Steering Committee initiated an investigation of the current rates charged by Atmos
Mid-Tex and concluded that Atmos already collects sufficient revenues to earn its allowed return
without the necessity for a surcharge to recover incremental investment.
What is GRIP:
GRIP is piecemeal ratemaking and would be illegal under traditional ratemaking that is in
the public interest. Atmos persuaded the legislature in 2003 to make an exception to the
prohibition against piecemeal ratemaking to encourage increased investment in transmission and
distribution pipe by allowing prompt recovery of investment, despite the possibility that
increased revenues and declining expenses could more than offset increased investment.
Unfortunately, utilities have used the GRIP filings to include other costs unrelated to
infrastructure improvements. GRIP surcharges are only allowed until the next general rate case.
NOTE: IT IS CRITICAL THAT ALL CITIES PASS THE RESOLUTION TO SUSPEND
BEFORE MAY 30, 2006.
Explanation of “Be It Resolved” Paragraphs:
1. A city is authorized to suspend the effective date for 45 days. However, since the
Company controls and can extend its effective date during settlement discussions to increase a
city’s jurisdiction and the period of time necessary to reach settlement, the resolution refers to
suspension “for the maximum period allowed by law” rather than a specific date.
2. This paragraph authorizes participation with the Gas Standing Steering
Committee and coordinated control over legal counsel and consultants. Along with paragraph 3,
this paragraph avoids the necessity of returning to the City Council with another resolution to
authorize efforts related to an appeal of the Council’s ultimate decision on the Atmos
application.
3. This paragraph authorizes the intervention of the city, assuming such is
recommended by the Gas Standing Steering Committee, in an environs case or an appeal
pending at the Railroad Commission. It further authorizes the handling of appeals from Railroad
Commission decisions to the courts in Austin, if the Gas Standing Steering Committee believes
that effort is desirable.
4. Texas law requires utility companies to reimburse cities for all costs (legal and
consulting) associated with ratemaking, whether the case is initiated by the utility or a regulatory
authority. Implementation of a tariff that imposes a surcharge is ratemaking, entitling the
participating cities to reimbursement. Legal counsel and consultants approved by the Steering
Committee will submit monthly invoices to the City of Arlington which will then forward the
invoices to Atmos for reimbursement.
5. This paragraph directs that a copy of the signed resolution be sent to a
representative of the Company and legal counsel for the Gas Standing Steering Committee.

customers served by Atmos Mid-Tex, effective May 30, 2006; and
WHEREAS, a recent rate investigation conducted by consultants for the Gas Standing

1668\15\ord060331kpd Suspending GRIP 1
WHEREAS, the City and its residents could benefit from coordination with the Gas

OF COPPELL, TEXAS, THAT:
1. The May 30, 2006, effective date of the GRIP rate increases proposed by Atmos

Agenda Request Form - Revised 09/04 Document Name: #Traffic Signal Installation
MEMORANDUM
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:Keith R. Marvin, P.E., Asst. City Engineer
DATE:May 23, 2006
REF:Consider approval of awarding Bid/Contract # Q-0306-01 to Roadway Solutions,
Inc., for the installation of Traffic Signals at A) Belt Line Road and MacArthur
Boulevard and B) MacArthur Boulevard and Bethel School Road, in an amount of
$298,042 as provided for in Infrastructure Maintenance (IMF) funds and in Capital
Improvement Project (CIP) funds; and authorizing the City Manager to sign.
On May 2, 2006 the City of Coppell received and opened two bids for the installation of traffic
signals at the intersections of Belt Line Road at MacArthur Boulevard and MacArthur Boulevard
at Bethel School Road. Letters were sent to eight contractors inviting them to bid and four sets of
plans were picked up. Two bids were received with a low bid of $298,042.00. This project
consists of the replacement of the existing signal at Belt Line Road and MacArthur Boulevard
and installation of a new signal at the intersection of MacArthur Boulevard and Bethel School
Road. See the attached exhibit for additional information on the location of the project.
The signal at the intersection of Belt Line Road and MacArthur Boulevard has reached the end of
its design life cycle. This signal was identified for replacement in the City of Coppell
Infrastructure Maintenance Fund schedule. Both electricity and maintenance costs associated
with this signal are higher than any other signal within the City of Coppell. Some of the
improvements slated for this intersection include replacing the incandescent bulbs with more
efficient LED lights, removing the troublesome loop detectors and installing a video based
detection system, removing the left turn signals from the median noses, and placing them on a
new, longer mast arm. Additional enhancements also include installation of illuminated street
signs.
The intersection of MacArthur Boulevard at Bethel School Road is in need of a traffic signal.
The Engineering Department conducted a traffic study and determined that the warrants as set
forth in the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD) were met for the
installation of a signal at this intersection. With the recent construction of Bethel School Court
and the townhomes along it, the traffic at this intersection has increased. This signal will also
use LED lamps and have video detection. This signal will not be fitted with illuminated street
signs. The illuminated signs were intended to be used at intersections of two major roadways.
This signal installation will be paid for through CIP funds.
The low bidder on the project was Roadway Solutions, Inc., of Carrollton, Texas, with a bid
amount of $298,042.00. This bid was for the installation of the signals at both intersections. The
low bidder bid 275 calendar days to complete the project. The second bidder bid 112 calendar
days to complete the project. I spoke with the low bidder concerning the large difference in days
bid and he indicated that he was concerned that we would not authorize him to proceed with both
signals at the same time, so he bid his time so he could complete them consecutively rather than
concurrently. He has supplied me a letter (attached herewith) indicating that if awarded the two
projects and allowed to work concurrently he would complete the job in 188 days.
The Engineering Department designed this project in-house, and our estimate of cost was
$317,265.25 for the installation. We anticipated completion would take approximately 120
calendar days.
Staff recommends award of the contract for the installation of traffic signals at A) Belt Line
Road and MacArthur Boulevard and B) MacArthur Boulevard and Bethel School to Roadway
Solutions, Inc., in an amount of $298,042.00, with an estimated completion time of 188 calendar
days.
Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council Meeting.

AGENDA REQUEST FORM
ITEM CAPTION:
Consider approval of awarding bid No. Q-0306-02, for the installation of the Wagon Wheel Park South Parking
Lot, to JRJ Paving LP, in the amount of $371,200.00, and authorizing the President of the CRDC and the City
Manager to sign.
GOAL(S):
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The completion of the parking lot on the south end of Wagon Wheel has been a priority of the Park Board and
CRDC for a couple of years. Since the completion of the practice areas, the focus on finishing this parking area
has become increasingly important. The new parking area will add 98 spaces to an existing total on the South end
of 620. This will make a new total of 718 space, which will increase parking at the area of the practice areas and
the Tennis Center. Additional benefits of this parking lot will be the addition of a drive to connect Creekview
Drive and the Tennis Center to the main parking area and better connect the Tennis Center to the park.
FINANCIAL COMMENTS: Funds are available in the CRDC ½ cent sales tax for this project.
