Governmental Service Agency, at no cost to the City, is re -submitting a grant request to the 1993 Texas Community Development Program (TCDP) competition. In 1992, the City was not funded. This proposal is to construct a new sewer line from the GNB Building, east to about Second Street along FM 455. The estimated cost of the project in 1992 was $100,800 with the City's Share at $15,120. 2}. The Street work on Bolivar, Seventh and Tenth is proceeding. Concrete has been poured on both Bolivar & Seventh. 3}. On Monday, 7/26/93, the east side of town experienced a water pressure loss as the system had a connector leak from the new Lane Station Well to the overhead tower and a valve on the downtown yard primary booster pump malfunctioned. The system has been adjusted to work around these problems which should be completed repaired within the next several days.

Stu e t SUBJECT: Resolutions for the 1993 TML Annual Conference As you are probably aware, the TML Constitution requires that resolutions for consideration at the Annual Conference be submitted to the TML headquarters 45 calendar days prior to the first day of the Annual Conference. For 1993, this provision means that resolutions from any member city, TML region, or TML department must arrive at the TML headquarters no later than September 20�1993. The TML Board of Directors has adopted several procedures governing the resolutions process. Please review the following items carefully and thoroughly. 1. Any city or other entity which submits a resolution must complete a resolution cover sheet. The cover sheet to be used is attached. Please feel free to make as many copies of this cover sheet as you desire. 2. The cover sheet must be attached to the resolution throughout each step of the resolutions process, including a TML regional meeting at which the resolution is considered. 3. The city or other entity which submits a resolution is encouraged to send a representative to the Resolutions Committee to explain the resolution. The Resolutions Committee will meet at :0 .m on Wednesdax. November 3, in the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Cen er in San Antonio. If the procedures described above are not followed for any given resolution, that resolutlon is likely to be referred to some other TML committee for further study. In that case, the resolution would not be adopted during the 1993 conference. You should also be aware that resolutions received after the cut-off date of September 20, 1993, must not only have the attached cover sheet but also must "state the reason precluding timely submission." These late resolutions can be 211 East Seventh, Suite 1020 • Austin, Texas 78701-3283 • (512) 478-6601 �, y considered by the Resolutions Committee at the Annual Conference only if two- thirds of the Committee members present and voting agree to suspend the submission rule and consider the resolution.

I am sure that you are well into your 1994 Budget Plans as we are. We are still waiting to hear what the effects the 1993 Legislative Session will have on our state funding sources. Unfortunately, the picture looks bleak as we know that family violence did not receive any increases. In 1992 we served 100 residents from the Sanger community. Through June of this year we have already provided services to 63 residents from Sanger. The cost for providing quality services to victims of family violence and sexual assault continue to increase. In 1992 the cost for services can be broke down as follows: Crisis Intervention and Counseling for Sexual Assault Victims: 24-Hour Hotline Individual and Group Counseling Homemaker and Parenting Services Residential Shelter $266.58 per client 4.62 per call 120.26 per client 198.62 per client 27.39 per client each day As you complete your 1994 budget, I respectfully request that you continue providing financial support for Denton County Friends of the Family. This support will directly benefit victims of family violence and sexual assault who are residents of Sanger. Denton Outreach 817/387-5131 . Metro 214/219-2829.

Box 578 Sanger, TX 76266 Dear Mr. I-Iamilton: Thank you again for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with me on June 29, 1993 to discuss and look at the problem your city is currently having with a nuisance heronry located on the eastern edge of Sanger. I would like to take this opportunity to present my recommendations on how you can legally deal with this situation. Please remember that in 1992 recommendations were given to city officials by Mr. Jim Dillard, TPWD Wildlife Biologist in regards to this same situation. Very little was done to satisfy these recommendations, and consequently the birds have returned to the same site again tills year. My recommendations will follow closely those previously presented by Mr. Dillard. This particular nuisance heronry is located in a small block of upland woods of approximately 25 acres in size. The vegetation of this woodland heronry consists of an overstory of primarily sugar hackberry, along with cedar elm and honey locust trees. The understory is made up of several shrub species indigenous to the Eastern Cross Timbers physiographic region. The estimated size of this heronry is approximately 750-1250 birds. Bird species composition of this particular heronry is primarily cattle egrets, however little blue herons, snowy egrets and black -crowned night -herons have been observed in association with this heronry. There are approximately 12 houses located in this area which are currently effected by this heronry. It must be noted that the above -mentioned species of' birds are protected under both state and federal laws. federal regulations pertaining to management of nuisance heronries are specified in Title 50 of the Code of federal Regulations. "These birds also are protected by Chapter 64, Texas Parks and Wildlife Code from being killed, possessed, commercialized or disturbed at breeding sites. Mr. John Hamilton Page 2 July 19, 1993 At the present time, there are only two methods of preventing herons and egrets from establishing or reusing an established heronry that I am able to recommend to you. The first involves using scaring methods to try and deter the birds from using a particular site. This type of method includes the use of disturbing noises, colored streamers in trees or on tall poles, bright lights at night, smoke, water sprays, tethered balloons and display of hawk silhouettes. These types of scaring devices can be extremely effective if used when the birds first arrive at the heronry site during the spring months. At that time, they are very nervous and easily disturbed. My second recommendation in dealing with this problem involves trimming, thinning or clearing nest -site vegetation during the winter months before the birds return to breed. Since this particular site is densely vegetated, I feel that you can make this site unattractive to the birds by thinning the vegetation to provide spaces between trees and by the removal of understory vegetation. You have expressed your concerns in that you do not want to remove all the trees from this location. I do not recommend that you remove all of the trees. Dramatic changes are usually not necessary and I feel that with proper thinning and limited clearing of the trees you will be able to accomplish your objectives. Such changes to this particular element of the habitat in a heronry will usually produce longer lasting prevention than other methods. Please remember that once the birds establish themselves in a heronry and begin breeding activities you will have to cease both scaring and vegetation -control methods. Also keep in mind that even if you are successful in detering these birds from their current location, they might well establish themselves in another undesirable location and you will still be faced with the same problems. [ hope that these recommendations will be of help to you in dealing with this particular nuisance heronry. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to give me a call at anytime at 817/637-2290. Sincerely C j Tim A.

North Central Texas Council Of Governments TO: County Judges City Managers Interested Parties FROM: Michael Morris Director of Transportation SUBJECT: Statewide Transportation Enhancement Program d 1-IE CITY OF SANGER J U L u 3 p 1993 nn , U SANGER, TEXAS DATE: July 29, 1993 The Texas Transportation Commission has recently adopted a Statewide Transportation Enhancement Program. The statewide competitive program is designed to implement the provisions specified in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, by setting aside funds to be used for transportation enhancement activities. Enclosed is a copy of the program rules. We anticipate a call for projects by the Texas Department of Transportation to be published in the Texas Register in the next couple of weeks. This call will begin a 90-day window in which project proposals need to be developed and submitted to the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) of the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) for evaluation, ranking, and nomination for funding to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). It is our desire to provide this information to you as early as possible, so that you can begin developing candidate projects. If you would like help in developing your project proposal before submitting it for nomination, the Environmental Resources Department at NCTCOG will provide you with assistance. Kathleen Graham can be reached at 817-640-3300 (ext. 194). The Environmental Resources Department is currently assisting the Transportation Department in developing enhancement projects as part of our regional transportation plan update, and specific candidate projects should be contained in this planning document. Pages 5-7 of the rules outline project eligibility and define transportation enhancement activities as: • Provision of facilities for pedestrians and bicycles; • Acquisition of scenic easements and scenic or historic sites; • Scenic or historic highway programs; • Landscaping and other scenic beautification; • Historic preservation; • Rehabilitation and operation of historic transportation buildings, structures or facilities (including historic railroad facilities and canals); 616 Six Flags Drive, Centerpoint Two l.Y 0 I?

The Regional Transportation Council (MPO) of the North Central Texas Council of Governments serves as the proper nominating entity for candidate projects. The Council will be conducting a priority ranking of all eligible projects. The Transportation Department at NCTCOG will be accepting final project proposals and performing the evaluative ranking and project nominations as outlined in the rules. We will be in contact with you soon regarding the project submittal deadline. If you have any questions regarding project eligibility or the nomination and selection process, please call Dan Rocha in our Transportation Department at 817-640-3300 (ext. 227). Please note the information (see pages 1 0-1 3 of the rules) which needs to accompany candidate projects. Again, your contacts are Kathleen Graham for development of candidate projects and Dan Rocha for project evaluations and selections. We look forward to working with you in developing candidate projects and reviewing the merits of specific proposals.
