4. Consider approving an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2015/16 Street Improvement Economic
Development Corporation budget in the amount of $23,750.
The concrete railing located along the eastbound lane in the 2900 block of Harwood Road was
damaged as a result of a vehicle accident on January 8, 2016. The railing was reconstructed using
current Texas Department of Transportation specifications and was completed in April 2016. The
bridge railing is needed to form a barrier so motorists do not accidentally swerve off of the road and
into the creek channel.
Staff contacted the driver’s insurance company to file a claim for the damage, and was informed that
the policy had lapsed. Texas Municipal League (TML) was also contacted to see if this repair was
covered under the City’s umbrella policy, but that was also denied.
At the time of the incident, staff discussed which fund should pay for the repair since the railings are
there to protect vehicle traffic. It was determined that since the replacement did not have SIEDC Board
approval, it would be paid out of the Stormwater Fund until the Board met in July to review and
potentially approve 4B funding. If a budget amendment is approved, a journal entry will be completed
adjusting funding of the project.
TML advised staff that this item would not be covered as the driver was uninsured and pursuing legal
action would cost more than the actual repair.
Motioned by Director Farco, seconded by Director Sartor, to approve an amendment to the Fiscal
Year 2015/16 SIEDC Budget in the amount of $23,750.
Motion passed 6-0-0. President Turner declared the motion carried.
5. Consider approval of the proposed Fiscal Year 2016/17 SIEDC Budget.
Staff proposes the following improvements for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-17:
• Bedford Court East reconstruction.
• Rankin Drive reconstruction - Forest Ridge Drive to Brook Hollow Park.
• Bedford Road reconstruction - Somerset Terrace to Brown Trail.
• Harwood Road design - West City Limit to East City Limit.
• Briarhaven Drive asphalt mill and overlay - Forest Ridge Drive to McClain Road.
• Brown Trail asphalt mill and overlay – Harwood Road to North City Limit.
• Shady Lane asphalt mill and overlay - Shady Brook Drive to Shady Grove Drive.
• Spargercrest Drive asphalt mill and overlay – Forest Ridge Drive to McClain Road.

Motioned by Director Fisher, seconded by Director Sartor, to approve the proposed Fiscal Year 2016/17
SIDEC Budget, with the exception of the street sweeper and that staff will come back to the Board with a
plan to modify the pedestrian crossing warning system.
Motion passed 6-0-0. President Turner declared the motion carried.
