THE MANAGEMENT LETTER AND THE FINAL REPORT WOULD BE REA�Y. MR. YAPEL
RESPONDED THAT THE DOCUMENTS SHOULD BE COMPLETED IN APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS.
CITY MANAGER RON COX REPORTED THAT BEGINNING SEPTEMBER, 1994, A LAW ENACTED
BY THE TEXA5 LEGISLATURE REGARDING WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE COVERAGE
WENT INTO EFFEC`.0 FOR CITIES. CITIES ARF REQUIRED BY LAW TO CARRY WORKERS'
�---a..
COMPENSATION INSURANCE. THE CITY OF FRIENDSWOOD DOES THAT BY BELONGING TO
THE TML INTERGOVERNMENTAL RISK POOL. PRIVATE BUSINESS, HOWEVER, DOES
NOT HAVE TO CARRY INSURANCE AND CAN SELF—INSURE. THE RECENTLY PASSED LAW
REQUIRED LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT TO REQUIRE BUSINESSES THAT DO ANY TYPE
CONSTRUCTION OR REMODELING FOR THE CITY TO CARRY WORKERS' COMPENSATION
INSURANCE. AT FIRST, IT WAS THOUGHT THIS ONLY APPLIED TO CONSTRUCTION
CONTRACTS, SUCH AS BUILDING CITY HALL. HOWEVER, TML IRP ATTORNEYS HAVE
CONCLUDED WITH THE CONCURRENCE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY, THAT ANY WRITTEN OR
VERBAL CONTRACT FOR ANY TYPE CONSTRUCTION OR REMODELING, INCLUDING BUILDING
NEW SIDEWALKS OR CHANGING A LIGHT BULB, WILL APPLY, AS A RESULT, UNLESS
SOMETHING CHANGES IN THE INTERPI2ETATION, A CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE MUST BE
PRESENTED BEFORE: ANY APPLICABLE JOB COMMENCES. THIS MAY RESULT IN EITHER
INCREASED COSTS OR DOING BUSINESS WITH OTHER VENDORS. THE NEXT ITEM CITY
MANAGER COX RE;PORTED ON WAS THE NEED FOR A RIGHT—TURNLANE AT THE
IH-45/FM 2351 INTERSECTION, TURNING TOW�IRDS FRIENDSWOOD AND THAT THE
CITY OF HOUSTON WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROB:LEM. IT WAS HOPED THAT THE CITY OF
HOUSTON WOULD C;REATE A SECOND TURN LANE OPPORTUNITY BY RESTRTPING AND
REDIRECTING THE TRAFFIC FROM THE CENTER LANE. IN THE LETTER FROM VIRGINIA M.
QUINN� CAPTAIN E'ROM THE HARRIS COUNTY SHERIF'F'S DEPARTMENT� ALONG WITH A
DIAGRAM, IT IS POINTED OUT THAT THERE IS INSUFFICIENT ROOM ON THE TURNING '
RADIUS TO JUSTIFY A SAFE RIGHT—TURN LANE. THE TIMING OF THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL,
LENGTHENING THE TIME, AND ALLOWING MORE TRb�'FIC TO PASS HAS NOT ALLEVIATED
THE PROBLEM OR THE COMPLAINTS. THE HOUSTON TRAFFTC DIVISION HAS REQUES�TED
TXDOT TO MAKE SOME CONSTRUCTION CHANGES AND CREATE A RIGHT—TURN LANE.
THERE IS NO IDE7�, AT THIS TIME, HOW LONG THIS WILL TAKE. AS SOON AS MORE
, . , INFORMATION IS OBTAINED, IT WILL BE PASSED AI,ONG. MR. COX INTRODUCED TERRY
BYRD AS FIRE MARSHAI,/EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR. ,
COUNCILMEMBER DTCKEY ASKED CITY MANAGER IF THE CITY REQUIRES PROOF OF
LIABILITY FOR CITY CONTRACTS WITH THE CITY MANAGER ADVISING YES, THE CITY
DOES REQUIRE PROOF OF LIABILITY.L
DISCUSSION WAS HELD REGARDING THE ESPLANAUE ON FM 518 AT THE CASTLEWOOD
INTERSECTION BEI.[�G REMOVED. COUNCIL ASKF.D WHY WASN'T SOME OF THE ESPLANAI)E
LEFT IN, WI-iAT CAN BE DONE TO LEAVE SOME IN, WILL TXDOT PAY, WHAT HAPPENED
TO THE EXISTING LANDSCAPING AND SHOULDN'T THIS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT BEFORE
COUNCIL FOR ACTION. CITY MANAGER ADVISED THAT DURING THE MEETING WITH
TXDOT REGARDING THE CASTLEWOOD TURNING LANE, THE CITY DISCUSSED REMOVAL
OF A PORTION QF THE ESPLANADE FQR SAFE INGRESS AND EGRESS. CITY MANAGER
ADVISED THAT AFTER LOOKING AT THE AREA, THERE WOULD BE ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT
OF SPACE LEFT FOR GREEN SPACE BETWEEN THE TWO 11REA AND DETERMINATION WAS
MADE ADMINISTRAT:IVELY TO REMOVE Ai,L OF THE ESPLANADE. CITY MANAGER REPORTED
THAT IT IS HOPED THE LANDSCAPING AT THE NEW CITY HALL WILL OFFSET THE LOSS
OF THIS GREEN SPACE AND REPORTED THE EXI5TING LANDSCAPE IN THE ESPLANADE HAS
BEEN MOVED TO A]VOTHER ESPLANADE. CITY MANAGER REPORTED THAT CONCRETE WAS
