FORWARDED TO MAYOR AND COUNCI! DATE: .. answere So what happens at the local level if vvA 7xo is adopted? We're glad you asked. 'By John Rukavina, Director Wake Connty (N.C.) Depamnent of Pnblic ~mlre chiefs across the United States ';~m~are waiting to see if the National [] Fire Protection Association pro- ceeds this May with adoption of tam,^ ~77~ Organization and Deployutent of ~",i~t~e Suppression, Emergency Medical ~'~: Operations, and Special Operations to the Public by Career Fire Departments. Some chiefs are looking forward to its adoption, relieved at the prospect of a national consensus standard that will ~help shoulder their budget-time "bur- den of proof" and establish a lawsuit- proof fire service management path. Others are concerned that tqsF^ t7to will result in the creation of new legal risks for departments and communities that won't meet it in May, or anytime in the foreseeable future. Is either group right? To coin a phrase, yes and no. OJ If ~m,^ adopts ~7~o, is there a law requires a city, county, town or fire not aware of any state with a law new start- In fact, such a law would probably ~ unconstitutional dele- courts would flown on horized automatic ;tandard without at [c review. local level, though, there's no councils, town boards commissions have done in · of automatic adoption of an Where such automatic- ~situations exist, they're usually a self-iuflicted wouud, i~nposed by the fire chief on him- or herselfi Q: Can a city, fire department or fire chief be held liable if company staffing standards differ according to communi- ty risk (more staffing in areas with more risk) and a fire in a low-risk area causes damage? A: With few historical exceptions, the answer to that question is no. In fact, courts have traditionally given great deference to "legislative decisions" made by local elected officials. For example, if a city council or town board decides not to build a fire station in a neighborhood that has petitioned for one, or decides not to hire the ro additional firefighters the chief has recommended in the bud- get, judges steer clear of substituting their judgment for the council's or board's in matters of budget and policy. But if a community itself establishes its own (or adopts another) standard of staffing, fire station placement or train- ing, and if damage from a subsequent fire can be traced to failure to live up to that local standard, courts are not reluc- tant to impose liability on the commu- nity for failing to meet its own "stan- dard of care." Q: If NFPA adopts ~7m, is a community that doesn't operate according to ~7ro standards breaking the law? A: No. But that community is assum- ing sonre additional legal risk. When a person sues a city, town, county or fire department corporation 76 FIRE www.firechief.com for negligence (assuming for the moment that state law will even allow a community or fire department to be sued -- some states won't), that person is saying that he or she is prepared to prove the following: 1) The community or fire department owed a duty of care to that person. 2) That duty of care was breached. (The community or department violated the duty.) 3) That breach of duty was the"proxi- mate" (foreseeable) cause of an injury. 4) The person actually suffered an injury. ("Injury" in this legal sense can be a physical injury or a finan- cial loss.) The general assumption of the law is that everyone owes everyone else a duty to behave in a reasonable way. So a big part of a negligence lawsuit is defining what a"reasonable" fire officer, fire chief or community would have done. In defining "reasonable," lawyers will ulti- mately look to the fire service at large to see if there's general agreement on rele- vant standards of behavion ~Fv^ standards are among those that would be cited as representative of a fire service standard of behavior, so if the local fire department's own standard was different -- or, as is more often the case, the local department had no stan- dard -- the injured person would argue that a relevant ~vi, A standard should be admitted into evidence so the jury can Historically, the fire department has been the quintessential "local service," where maximum discretion is left to local officials. "benchmark" the fire department's act or omission against the relevant NFPA standard to help it make a decision. Note, though, that only relevant stan- dards will play a role. If a standard called for four firefighters on every company, and one of several companies sent to a fire had only three firefighters on board, the injured person must be prepared to prove that there was a direct "causal relationship" between the fact that there was a missing firefighter and the injury. Without that causal relation- ship, the standard is irrelevant. Q: If a firefighter is injured while fight- ing a fire, can he or she successfully sue the incident commander, the chief, the department or the city if the firefighter can prove that the injury was caused, say, by on-scene staffing levels lower than those established in A: It depends on state workers comp law, but in most (though not all) states, the answer is no. In most states, workers comp is, in effect, noffault insurance. In exchange for the certainty of compensation, workers can't sue their employers, and employers can't blame the workers for their own "contributory negligence" in the cause of their injuries. (In a few of those "no-fault" states, courts will, in effect, go through that "no-fault" cur~ rain to get at an employer that disre- gards worker safety in a manner so truly outrageous that it borders on criminal behavior.) The most accurate answer to this question is best obtained from a fire department's local workers comp expert, For quick response.

Q: What about OSHA? A: Good question. First, in about half the states, federal occupational safety and health laws don't apply to local gov- ernment employees (and thus firefight- ers who are employed by a town, city or governmental fire district). As in the case of workers comp, a few states have adopted their own laws -- and their own safety standards -- that apply to firefighters. In what the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act calls "state plan states;' the other roughly one-half of the states, rules identical to (or tougher than) federal OSHA rules do apply to local government employees, including firefighters. In those states, OSH^'S "gen- eral duty standard" applies. This general duty standard requires employers covered by OSH^ to maintain a workplace that not only meets formal OSUA standards, but is also free from "recognized hazards" that cause (or are likely to cause) death or serious injury to workers. So whom does OSHA look to for iden- tification of those "recognized hazards"? Under the general duty standard, OSHA uses the negligence "duty of care" model and looks to industry practice (or to standards developed by organizations like tqFPA) when a workplace death or injury occurs, and there's no formal The general duty standard requires employers covered by OSHa tO maintain a workplace free from "recognized hazards." os~t^ standard that regulates the work- place behavior or environment that caused the death or injury. (Some read- ers may recall that, a few years prior to OSHA adoption of its "two-in/two-out" standard, os~l^ officials announced that OSHA would apply HFP^ ~5oo mini- mum-safety-staffing recommendations as general duty standards.) As in the case of workers comp issues raised by adoption of t4FVA t71o, the best answers to OSHA/NFPA 171o questions will come fi.om local OSHA practitioners. Adoption of NFPA 17~0, assuming that it occurs, will represent a major change in the American fire service. Historical- ly, the fire department has been the quintessential "local service;' where maximum discretion is left to local elected officials in determining the appropriate level of community invest- ment (and, too often by default, accep- tance of fire risk) in public fire protec- tion. Many fire chiefs will find themselves responsible for managing this historic shift, mediating between the proverbial irresistible force of NFP^ ~7m and the immovable object of local willingness (or ability) to pay. But then, no one ever said being fire chief would be easy. [] John Rukavina is director of public safety for Wake County, N.C., and holds a law degree from the University of Minnesota School of Law.

REVIEW: ¢'1' Agenda Request Form - Revised 5/00 +X-BID $ MEMORANDUM FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING To'- From: Date: RE: Mayor and City Council Members Kenneth M. Griffm, P.E., Dir. of Engineering/Public Works ~ April 30, 2001 Consider approval of a variance to the Subdivision Ordinance No. 94643 Appendix C, Section I, paragraph F.2. entitled "Intersection Treatment", paragraph F.4. entitled "Pavers", Appendix D, Section VI, paragraph B entitled "Intersection Design", and Section VIII, paragraph A entitled "Pavers" to allow the use of paving materials other than "Brick Pavers".for the Sandy Lake Road/MacArthur Blvd. intersection. At the April 24, 2001 City Council meeting, discussion was held during work session concerning the elimination of"brick pavers" as a requirement as outlined in the City's Subdivision Ordinance. During the course of the discussion, it was decided that an agenda item would be brought forth to specifically deal with the MacArthur/Sandy Lake Road intersection as it pertains to the utilization of "brick pavers". This agenda item is a variance request to various sections of Subdivision Ordinance #94643 that require the utilization of "brick pavers". Appendix C, Section I, paragraph F.2. states "all paving in major, secondary and minor intersections shall be constructed in accordance with standards in the City's Streetscape Plan." It further states "concrete pavers shall be used in both street and sidewalk construction." I have included Figure 2 from the City's Streetscape Study, which shows the major, secondary and minor intersections throughout the City of Coppell. The intersection in question is a major intersection. Appendix C, Section I, paragraph F.4. provides information pertaining to the type of paver to be used in the major, secondary and minor intersections. Paragraph 4 also goes on to state "other alternative paving materials or methods of installation may be approved if they are comparable in quality, color, texture and integrity to the City's standards assigned to pavers." Appendix D, Section VI, paragraph B states "major intersections should be a full paver intersection if practical." .The detail for the full paver intersection is provided. This detail shows the banded full intersection with the contrasting "brick paver" throughout the entire intersection. Appendix D, Section VIII, paragraph A provides fu~her information concerning the paver to be utilized for intersections. There are three issues concerning the use of "brick pavers" 1) aesthetics, 2) cost, and 3) long-term maintenance. The aesthetic issue is addressed in the City's Streetscape Plan as an attempt to set Coppell apart from other communities. Most intersections within the City of Coppell have "brick pavers" either entirely or banded. "CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN" The cost issue is difficult to determine at this time, however, the contractor has stated that the full depth color, "stamped concrete" would be provided at a cost of $71.29/per square yard. The cost for the "brick pavers" in the contract was $58.00/per square yard. The cost for basic concrete paving was $24.88/per square yard. There is approximately 2100 square yards of pavers within the MacArthur Blvd./Sandy Lake intersection. The cost difference from "brick pavers" to "stamped concrete" is $13.29/per square yard. For the entire intersection this equates to an increased cost of $27,909. If Council approves the concept of the utilization of stamped concrete in lieu of "brick pavers", a Change Order would need to be approved by Council because the value of the change is greater than $25,000. That item is also included on this agenda. The reason that item is included on this agenda is because of the timing of providing direction to the Contractor if Council supports the change from "brick pavers" to "stamped concrete". The Contractor is preparing to mobilize in the first week of May. The long-term maintenance issue involves numerous locations throughout our community which have experienced failure of the pavers as they abut the adjoining concrete. This is not a problem only in Coppell. The pavers installed on S.H. 121 Bypass have experienced substantial failures and are in the process of being removed and replaced with asphalt. Because of the time involved in performing the repair of the brick pavers, the initial reaction to an unsafe condition is to provide a temporary asphalt patch. Once personnel are allocated to repair the pavers, the asphalt patch along with the pavers are removed, the subsurface is repaired and the pavers are replaced. Once the failure has occurred in "brick pavers", it typically tends to fail more than once. This is not due to the workmanship on the repair, it is typically due to the fact that the underlying concrete has cracked or deteriorated in some form allowed the migration of bedding sand, therefore creating voids under the pavers, which allows them to fall. In some repairs in years past, we have sealed the underlying concrete only to yet again have the pavers fail. Because of the continual failures along MacArthur, I have proposed in my 5-year plan a pilot program to begin removing and replacing the "paver bands" along MacArthur Blvd. with "stamped concrete". The actual cost of the "stamped concrete" verses "brick pavers" is a difficult number to ascertain. If "stamped concrete" were bid with the project you would have attained a variety of pricing. The Sandy Lake Road project had a value of "brick pavers" ranging from $44.55 to $65.00/per square yard. Bidders adjust the cost of various bid items as they bid a project. We did utilize "stamped concrete" on the road humps on Town Center Drive (Sonic or 2aa Access to High School, if you prefer). The value of that stamped concrete was more in the range of $35 to $40/per square yard. I contacted the local company, North Texas Bomanite to inquire about the cost of the intersection improvements with "stamped concrete". I was informed that their actual pricing for "stamped concrete" was in the range of $68 / per square yard. When I questioned why it was so high, the vice-president stated that the cost is a factor of several things. One is that to construct an intersection and maintain traffic you typically have 4 to 6 move-ins to perform the stamped concrete work. Because of that, the sections being poured at any given time are smaller, therefore, hand pours are used. Also, the traffic needs to be maintained so there is extensive traffic control involved in working within the intersection. The material costs for the full depth adds approximately $10 - $11/per square yard to the cost of the stamped concrete. The alternate to this is to go to a surface color, however, the potential exists for it to wear off over a period of time. "CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN" The item before you is to allow the utilization of "stamped concrete" in the MacArthur/Sandy Lake intersection. The request is brought forth at this late date as we have been attempting to obtain pricing for some time. Also, the contractor has indicated that the utilization of "stamped concrete" could save as much as one and one/half to two months off the construction time of the MacArthur/Sandy Lake intersection. The life of the stamped concrete should be comparable to concrete streets throughout Coppell. With this agenda item I have also included a fax from North Texas Bomanite showing various locations where full color crosswalks are being utilized. Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting. "CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING ~ EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN" SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS - CITY OF COPPELL.

END OF SECTION Page 85 SUBDIVISION RE(~ULATIONS - CITY OF COPPELL. TEXAS APPENDIX D - STREETSCAPE PLAN SECTION VI - STREETSCAPE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPTS primary. City Image Zones Denton Tap Road Belt Line Road Sandy Iake Road MacArthur Boulevard Thweatt Road Secondary_ City Ima~,e Zones Bethel Road Moore Road Freeport Road Parlcway Boulevard Each Primary Zone thoroughfare should be a divided thoroughfare with a 15 foot median. Cedar Elms will be the dominant street tree in the median and edges, accented with Redbud and Wild Plum and accent overstory trees of Sweet Gum or. Chinese Pistache. Median noses at left turn lanes will be covered with interlocking pavers interspersed by 18" Juniper planting beds. Crape Myrtles above Honeysuckle planting beds will also accent each end of the Median (Figure 3). Secondary Zone thoroughfares will have a similar landscape scheme, but medians are not a necessity and the roads should be only of a four lane capacity. If a median is used, Bradford Pear will be the accent tree instead of Crape Myrtle and Liriope will be used for ground cover below the Bradford Pears. Each median for Primary and Secondary Zones will also be accented by Pampas Grass in the transition zone. Pedestrian/bike path crossings at streets will be defined by red concrete pavers. B. Intersection Design Intersection designs have been developed for three types of intersections: major, secondary and minor. These three types axe identified and located on the Landscape Opportunities map (Figure 2). Major intersections should receive top priority in terms of streetscape implementation. The design of major and secondary intersections should have consistent landscape elements to include a 12" high planting bed for annual and perennial flowers, background plantings of pink and white Crape Myrtles to highlight the bed, and accent overstory trees of Sweet Gum and Chinese Pistache. Crosswalks 15 feet wide shall be constructed in red interlocking concrete pavers with light gray concrete pavers delineating the edges of the crosswalks. The pavers will also be used on the comers where pedestrians will be standing...Th.q, center of major intersections should be highlighted by a dark gray concrete paver (Figure 4A) if engineering proves ~.ractical~ The third level of intersection design is used to define minor intersections. Crosswalks are eight feet wide and shall be constructed in the concrete pavers with no edge banding. Planting beds are not utilized and no special landscaping is required (Figure 5). Page 115 $IfBDIVI$ION REGULATIONS - CITY OF COPPELL. TEXAS APPENDIX D - STREETSCAPE PLAN SECTION VIII - STREET HARDWARE AND SPECIAL LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS VIH. STREET HARDWARE AND SPECIAL LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS The term "street hardware" refers to the man-made elements found within or adjacent to the street right-of-way. These include pavers, street lights, traffic signals, telephone/electric poles, and traffic signage. Benches and street furniture have not been included in this study. Pavers: The City standard paver for use at intersections~ City entry points, at development/subdivision entry features and to delineate all pedestrian/bike path crossings of streets is the interlocking paver "Uni-deeor' manufactured by Pavestone (or its equal). Antique red shall be the standard color, although dark gray pavers will be used for ~enters of intersections and a light gray will be used for accent banding. Accent banding will be accomplished using 4" by 8" rectangular paver, "Holland Stone" (or equal). All pavers are + 2 1/2" thick pigmented concrete pavers set on a 1" sand leveling bed. The subbase shall be reinforced concrete paving, unless another material is approved by the City Engineer. Alternate paving materials at subdivision/development entry shall be acceptable if they are comparable in color, quality and texture to the City standard. Street Lights: Research into the possibilities of recommending a traditional fixture to T.U. Electric for use in the street right-of-way indicated that the chances for approval by T.U. are extremely slim. Without T.U. approval for a particular fixture, the City would be responsible for providing, maintaining, and financing the electric usage of these non-standard fixtures. The 20' and 30' KIM fixtures, presently required by the City and provided by T.U., are therefore recommended as the best alternative for public street lighting. Their simple design and dark brown duranodic finish are compatible with most architectural styles and land use. The more traditional light fixtures would be appropriate for individual projects/developments. The property owner/developer would then be responsible for installing, maintaining and paying for the electric use for these traditional fixtures. Traffic Signals: The recommended traffic signal design (Figure 16) was selected to be compatible with the approved City street lights. Both are simple in shape, structurally stable and can be finished in dark brown duranodic or black to match the approved City street lights. Telephone and Electric Poles: As evidenced by the Subdivision Ordinance, the City i. ntends to limit the presence of telephone, power and television cable along the street edge. Either underground or rear alley access lines are to be established in all developments. Where alley access lines cross side streets, the City Engineer has recommended to T.U. that simply designed metal support poles be used and set back from the street to minimize any view of the poles/wires. It is also recommended that the metal poles be painted to match the finish on the approved City street lights.

Commercial development north of Highway 121 and Highway 114 will not be subject to revenue sharing except by mutual consent of the parties. This applies to any non-retail development allowed by DFW as well as any retail development agreed to by the parties under item #2, The four non-constituent cities will share a rotating, ex-officio seat on the DFW Board. The ex-officio member is entitled to the same board communications as full members except those communications legitimately confidential under the open meetings act.

(makes 2000 the "base year" for dete~-~i~ining excess airport revenue) Delete the first line of Section 22.089 (c) and insert the following language in its place: "(c) Each year, as part of its ~nnqal audit, each non-constituent municipality shall retain an independent auditor to verify the non-constituent munici~ality'~ e~eess airport revenue."
