Preliminary Market Adjustments
Wellspring Human Capital has completed their study of the City of Anna's placement in
the wage/labor market. Thirteen municipalities participated in a wage and benefits
survey. The 13 cities were chosen based upon a number of factors including size,
proximity, growth patterns, and comparability.
The results of the survey show that a majority of positions within the City's structure
require some adjustments to ensure employee compensation is competitive within the
market and allow the City of Anna to attract and retain a talented workforce.
To total cost for employee compensation to be competitive within the market is just under
$150,000. Working with Wellspring, staff has developed a strategy to make employee

time period, then Closing will occur as otherwise provided, but Seller will assign to Purchaser at

AGENDA SUBJECT: (a) Conduct a public hearing regarding an Ordinance amending
the Anna City Code of Ordinances by amending Part III -A (Subdivision Regulations),
Article 1 (General Provisions), Section 5.02 (Exemptions).
b. Consider/Discuss/Action regarding an Ordinance amending the Anna City Code of
Ordinances by amending Part III -A (Subdivision Regulations), Article 1 (General
Provisions), Section 5.02 (Exemptions).
SUMMARY: This proposed ordinance adds an additional exemption to the platting
statute. From time to time the State or the City acquires right -of --way or properties from
individuals for public needs. Most of the time the State and Cities are acquiring slivers of
land along existing roadways and in some instances where roads exist but are still owned
fee simple to the centerline by owners of adjacent properties. The practice has been to
aHow this type of subdivision of property to occur. In other cases land is sometimes
donated or acquired for other uses such as parks. This proposed ordinance codifies the
practice so that there is no confusion and the State and City are in conformance with our
ordinances.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approval of Ordinance.

Attachment A
Recommended Amendments to the
2009 International Building Code
North Central Texas Council of Governments region
The following sections, paragraphs, and sentences of the 2009 International Building Code are
hereby amended as follows: Standard type is text from the IBC. Underlined type is text inserted.
1 iRed through type is deleted text from lBQv A double asterisk (**) at the beginning of a section
identifies an amendment carried over from the 2006 edition of the code and a triple asterisk (***)
identifies a new or revised amendment with the 2009 code.
Explanation of Options A and B:
Please note that as there is a wide range in fire fighting philosophies / capabilities of cities across the
region, OPTION "A" and OPTION "B" are provided in the Fire and Building Code amendments.
Jurisdictions should choose one or the other based on their fire fighting philosophies / capabilities
when adopting code amendments.
Note: Historically NCTCOG has limited chapter 1 amendments in order to allow each city to
insert their local policies and procedures. We now have suggested certain items to be brought
to the attention of cities considering adoption of the code that may be of concern to several
jurisdictions. It is still intended to be discretionary to each city to determine which chapter
1 amendments to include.
***Section 101.4; change to read as follows:
101.4 Referenced codes. The other codes listed in Sections 101.4.1 through 101.4.E and
referenced elsewhere in this code, when specifically adopted, shall be considered part of the
requirements of this code to the prescribed extent of each such reference. Whenever
amendments have been adopted to the referenced codes and standards, each reference to said
code and standard shall be considered to reference the amendments as well. Any reference to
NFPA 70 or the Electrical Code shall mean the Electrical Code as adopted.
(Reason: Legal wording to recognize locally adopted codes and amendments adopted with
referenced codes. The former ICC Electrical Code is now Appendix K of this code but no longer
called by that name.)
City of Anna, Texas ORDINANCE NO. 5
***Section 101.4.7; add the following:
101.4.7 Electrical. The provisions of the Electrical Code shall apply to the installation of electrical
systems, includinq alterations, repairs, replacement, equipment, appliances, fixtures, fittings and
appurtenances thereto.
(Reason: This was dropped when ICC quit publishing the ICC Electrical Code, but the Electrical Code still
should be referenced regardless of how it is adopted.)
Recommended Amendments to the
2009 International Residential Code
North Central Texas Council of Governments region
The following sections, paragraphs, and sentences of the 2009 International Residential Code
are hereby amended as follows: Standard type is text from the IRC. Underlined type is text
inserted. L oned through type is deleted text from lRGs A double asterisk at the beginning of a
section identifies an amendment carried over from the 2006 edition of the code and a triple
asterisk identifies a new or revised amendment with the 2009 code.
Note: Historically NCTCOG has limited Chapter 1 amendments in order to allow each city to
insert their local policies and procedures. We now have suggested certain items to be brought
to the attention of cities considering adoption of the code that may be of concern to several
jurisdictions. It is still intended to be discretionary to each city to determine which Chapter
1 amendments to include.
The 2009 International Residential Code (IRC) and International Energy Conservation Code
(IECC) include a new emphasis on envelope infiltration and duct leakage. Significant changes
in the residential energy requirements include more frequent requirement of performance testing
for leakage. Residential Duct systems must be tested unless all ducts and equipment are
located within the conditioned space. Envelope testing is required to demonstrate compliance
with maximum allowable leakage rate unless a detailed air barrier and insulation inspection has
been performed to field verify component criteria. Testing is available from RESNET-certified
HERS Raters or Rating Field Inspectors, and certified Performance Verification Technicians.
***Section R101.1; Insert jurisdiction name as follows:
City of Anna, Texas ORDINANCE NO. 6

[F] 903a1 Alternative protection. Alternative automatic fire -extinguishing systems complying with
Section 904 shall be permitted in lieu of addition to automatic sprinkler protection where recognized by
the applicable standard, or as approved by the fire code official.
(Reason: Such alternative systems do not provide the reliability of automatic sprinkler protection

MACHINERY — NO STORAGE ALLOWED".
���Pt ; r {text of exception deleted}
(Reason: Firefighter safety -this amendment eliminates the shunt trip requirement of the
International Building Code Section 3006.5 for the purpose of elevator passenger and firefighter
safety. This amendment is contingent on the Building Code amendment eliminating the
Exceptions to Section 3006.4, such that passive fire barriers for these areas are maintained.
The exception deletion is due to the fact that such telecom areas pose an undue fire risk to the
structural integrity of the building. This also meets with local practices in the region.)

+„„e is deleted text from !PQ) A double asterisk at the beginning of a section identifies an amendment
carried over from the 2006 edition of the code and a triple asterisk identifies a new or revised amendment
with the 2009 code.
Note: Historically NCTCOG has limited Chapter 1 amendments in order to allow each city to insert their
local policies and procedures. We now have suggested certain items to be brought to the attention of
cities considering adoption of the code that may be of concern to several jurisdictions. It is still intended
to be discretionary to each city to determine which chapter 1 amendments to include. Note that
Appendices must be specifically adopted by Ordinance. See Sample Ordinance on Page xiii of 2009 IFC.
Also, note that several sections of the code, as indicated in the Sample Ordinance, require jurisdictional
specificity as to dollar amounts, geographic limits, etc.
Explanation of Options A and B.
Please note that as there is a wide range in fire fighting philosophies / capabilities of cities across the
region, OPTION "A" and OPTION "B" are provided in the Fire and Building Code amendments.
Jurisdictions should choose one or the other based on their fire fighting philosophies / capabilities
when adopting code amendments.

hydrostatically tested for all FDC's on any type of standpipe system. Hydrostatic testing shall also
be conducted in accordance with NFPA 25 requirements for the different types of standpipe
systems.
2. For any manual (dry or wet) standpipe system not having an automatic water supply capable of
flowing water through the standpipe the tester shall connect hose from a fire hydrant or portable
Pumping system (as approved by the fire code officiab to each FDC and flow water through the
standpipe system to the roof outlet to verify that each inlet connection functions properly. Confirm
that there are no open hose valves prior to introducing water into a dry standpipe. There is no
required pressure criteria at the outlet. Verify that check valves function properly and that there are
no closed control valves on the system.
3. Any pressure relief reducing or control valves shall be tested in accordance with the requirements
of NFPA 25. All hose valves shall be exercised.
4. If the FDC is not already provided with approved caps, the contractor shall install such caps for all
FDC's as required by the fire code official.
5. Upon successful completion of standpipe test place a blue tag (as per Texas Administrative Code,
Fire Sprinkler Rules for Inspection Test and Maintenance Service (ITM) Tag) at the bottom of
each standpipe riser in the building. The tag shall be check -marked as "Fifth Year" for Type of ITM,
and the note on the back of the tag shall read "5 Year Standpipe Test" at a minimum.
6. The procedures required by Texas Administrative Code Fire Sprinkler Rules with regard to Yellow
Tags and Red Tags or any deficiencies noted during the testing, including the required
notification of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (fire code official) shall be followed.
7. Additionally records of the testing shall be maintained by the owner and contractor, if applicable,
as required by the State Rules mentioned above and NFPA 25.

during freezing conditions or during the day prior to expected night time freezing conditions.
9. Contact the fire code official for requests to remove existing fire hose from Class II and III standpipe
ystems where employees are not trained in the utilization of this firefighting equipment. All
standpipe hose valves must remain in place and be provided with an approved cap and chain when
approval is given to remove hose by the fire code official.
(Reason: Increases the reliability of the fire protection system and re-emphasizes the requirements of
NFPA 25 relative to standpipe systems, as well as ensuring that FDC connections are similarly
tested/maintained to ensure operation in an emergency incident.)

carried over from the 2006edition of the code and a triple asterisk identifies a new or revised amendment
with the 2009 edition of the code.
Note: Historically NCTCOG has limited Chapter 1 amendments in order to allow each city to insert their
local policies and procedures. We now have suggested certain items to be brought to the attention of
cities considering adoption of the code that may be of concern to several jurisdictions. It is still intended
to be discretionary to each city to determine which Chapter 1 amendments to include.

Recommended Amendments to the
2009 International Energy Conservation Code
North Central Texas Council of Governments region
The following sections, paragraphs, and sentences of the 2009 International Energy
Conservation Code are hereby amended as follows: Standard type is text from the IECC.
Underlined type is text inserted. Lined thi:e gh type as deleted text from IEGGO A double asterisk
at the beginning of a section identifies an amendment carried over from the 2006 edition of the
code and a triple asterisk identifies a new or revised amendment with the 2009 code.
Note: Historically NCTCOG has limited Chapter 1 amendments in order to allow each city to
insert their local policies and procedures. We now have suggested certain items to be brought
to the attention of cities considering adoption of the code that may be of concern to several
jurisdictions. It is still intended to be discretionary to each city to determine which Chapter
1 amendments to include.
City of Anna, Texas ORDINANCE NO. 157
The 2009 International Residential Code (IRC) and International Energy Conservation Code
(IECC) include a new emphasis on envelope infiltration and duct leakage. Significant changes
in the residential energy requirements include more frequent requirement of performance testing
for leakage. Residential Duct systems must be tested unless all ducts and equipment are
located within the conditioned space. Envelope testing is required to demonstrate compliance
with maximum allowable leakage rate unless a detailed air barrier and insulation inspection has
been performed to field verify component criteria. Testing is available from RESNET-certified
HERS Raters or Rating Field Inspectors, and certified Performance Verification Technicians.
***Section 101.4.2; change to read as follows:
101.4.2 Historic Buildings. Any building or structure that is listed in the State or National
Register of Historic Places; designated as a historic property under local or state designation
law or survey; certified as a contributing resource with a National Register listed or locally
designated historic district; or with an opinion or certification that the property is eligible to be
listed on the National or State Registers of
Historic Places either individually or as a contributing building to a historic district by the State
Historic Preservation Officer of the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places, aye
exemptf shall comply with all of the provisions of this code.
Exception:
Whenever
a
provision or
provisions
shall
invalidate
or jeopardize
the
historical
designation
or listing, that
provision or
provisions
may
be exempted.
(Reason: This is less restrictive than the legislative mandates. It is reasonable to expect
compliance with duct sealing, replacement lighting and the installation of insulation, for example,
when possible.)
***Section 103.1; add Section 103.1.1 to read as follows:
103.1.1 Alternative compliance. A building certified by a national, state, or local accredited
energv efficiency program and determined by the Energy Systems Laboratory to be in
compliance with the energy efficiency requirements of this section may, at the option of the
Code Official, be considered in compliance. The United States Environmental Protection
City of Anna, Texas ORDINANCE NO. I58
Agency's Energy Star Program certification of energy code equivalency shall be considered in
compliance.
(Reason: this amendment is added to allow alternative compliance in accordance with Texas
HB 1365, 78t'' Legislature.)
***Section 202; add the following definition:
GLAZING AREA. Total area of the glazed fenestration measured using the rough opening and
including sash, curbing or other framing elements that enclose conditioned spabce. Glazing
area includes the area
of glazed fenestration assemblies in walls bounding conditioned basements. For doors where
the davlight opening area is less that 50 percent of the door area, the glazing area is the
daylight opening area. For all other doors, the glazing area is the rough opening area for the
door including the door and the frame.
(Reason: Since the window to floor area ratios have been added to the prescriptive tables, it is
necessary to define glazing area.)
***Section 401.2, Item 1; change to read as follows:
1. Sections 402.1 through 402.3, 403.2.1 and 404.1 (prescriptive) and the use of Tables
402.1.1 and 402.1.3 are limited to a maximum glazing area of 15%window area to floor
area ratio; or
2. {language unchanged}
(Reason: This amendment is added to satisfy the "not less restrictive" requirement when
adopting subsequent editions of energy codes in accordance with Texas SB 5, 77t" Legislature
and reflects the findings of ESL report to SECO. PNL ResChecksoftware may be used for
envelope calculation, but may not be used for performance compliance reporting according to
City of Anna, Texas ORDINANCE NO. 159
405.4. Effective April 1, 2011, this amendment becomes more stringent than the mandated
Texas Building Energy Performance Standards.)
***Section 402.2; Add Section 402.2.12 to read as follows:
Section 402.2.12 Insulation installed in walls. Insulation batts installed in walls shall be totally
surrounded by an enclosure on all sides consisting of framing lumber, gypsum, sheathing, wood structural
panel sheathing or other equivalent material approved by the building official.
(Reason: This will increase the performance of the batt insulation by eliminating the potential for drafts
and insure that the batt insulation stays in place.)
***Section 405.4.1; add the following sentence to the end of paragraph:
RemRateT"' Enerpy GaupeT"' and IC3 are deemed acceptable performance simulation programs.
(Reason: These are the only software tools certified at the time of adoption to meet RESNET
performance requirements.)
Recommended Amendments to the
2011 National Electrical Code
North Central Texas Council of Governments Region
The following articles, paragraphs, and sentences of the 2011 National Electrical Code (NEC) are hereby
amended as follows: Standard type is text from the NEC. Underlined type is -text inserted. �ir���t#reug#
+pe ;s deleted text from NEE. A double asterisk (**) at the beginning of an article identifies an
amendment carried over from the 2008 edition of the code and a triple asterisk (***) identifies a new or
revised amendment with the 2011 code.
City of Anna, Texas ORDINANCE NO. 160
***Article 100, Part l; amend the following definition:
Intersystem Bonding Termination. A device that provides a means for connecting bonding conductors for
communication systems and other systems such as metallic gas piping systems to the grounding electrode
system.
(REASON FOR CHANGE: To allow for a termination point for other bonding conductors in addition to
communication systems that are required by the various model codes.)
***Article 110.2; change the following to read as follows:
110.2 Approval. The conductors and equipment required or permitted by this Code shall be acceptable
only if approved. Approval of equipment may be evident by listing and labeling of equipment by a
Nationally Recognized Testing Lab (NRTL) with a certification mark of that laboratory or a qualified third
party inspection agency approved by the AHJ.
Exception: Unlisted equipment that is relocated to another location within a jurisdiction or is field modified
is subject to the approval by the AHJ. This approval may be by a field evaluation by a NRTL or qualified
third party inspection agency approved by the AHJ.
Manufacturer's self -certification of any equipment shall not be used as a basis for approval by the AHJ.
Informational Note: See 90.7, Examination of Equipment for Safety, and 110.3, Examination, Identification,
Installation, and Use of Equipment. See definitions of Approved, Identified, Labeled, and Listed.
(REASON FOR CHANGE: To add clarity and provide more positive options for enforcement and approval
of unlisted equipment.)
City of Anna, Texas ORDINANCE NO. 161
**Article 230.71(Aj; add the following exception:
Exception:
Multi -occupant buildings.
Individual service
disconnecting
means
is limited to six for each
)ccupant.
The number of individual
disconnects at one
location may
exceed
six.
(REASON FOR CHANGE: This is currently the accepted installation practice of the region. No noteworthy
complaints have surfaced. It is more reasonable than the current NEC requirements. It allows more than
six disconnects grouped at one location. This also allows designers more flexibility in the placement of
electrical meters and main service disconnects.)
***Article 240.91; delete the Article.
(REASON FOR CHANGE: Present day equipment is not listed and has not been evaluated for the use.
Removing this article may prevent both installers and AHJ's from misapplying the Code.)
**Article 300.11; add the following exception:
Exception: Ceiling Arid support wires maybe used for structural supports when the associated wiring is
located in that area not more than two raceways or cables supported per wire, with a maximum nominal
metric designation 16 (trade size 112").
(REASON FOR CHANGE: To provide limited support of raceways and cables by ceiling grid support
wire.)
**Article 310.15(B)(7); change to read as follows:
(7) 120/240-Volt, 3-Wire, Single -Phase Dwelling Services and Feeders. For dwelling units, conductors,
as listed in Table 310.15(B)(7), shall be...{text unchanged}...provided the requirements of 215.2, 220.61,
and 230.42 are met. This Article shall not be used in conjunction with 220.82.
