the citizens to either have debris hauled off at their expense or allow the sani-
tation crews to do it on a charge beefs.

j. That Change Order !6o. 1 to the Various Meter System Improvement Phase I1
contract be approved in the amount of 56,800.00: The change order
provides for substituting 6 inches of hot -mix asphalt on six blocks of
Comanche Street in lieu of piecing 1-1/2 inches of asphalt es specified in
the contract is recommended due to the heavy volume of traffic on Comanche
Street. The contract pavement replacement was based on the existing
pavement being 1-1/2 inches thick rather than 6 inches thick. A separate
appropriation will not be required.

bow many different thicknesses the City uses.
lfr. Janes K. Lentos, Director of Engineering and Physical Development, aaplaieed
that normally, the City's eol3astor streets carry a 20" caliche thickness with a 2i't
top surface; residential streets - 6" caliche thickness and 11/2" surface; and that on
heavy thoroughfares, an 18" combination thickness and surface is used. He explained
however that basically, one portion of Comanche did have this Zig" thickness as required,
but in the particular portion of Comanche regarding the above item, the City's engineers
felled to run a rare in the street to find out haw it was built. Hr. Lentos further
explained that when they began tearigg op the street, it appeared that the street
had 6" of hot mix and matching pavement that is there would require an expenditure of
more money to get the streets the way they were.

Tea bidders submitted bids with the low bidder being A & G Utility Company
with a bid of $128,901.20.
City *Manager Townsend reminded the Council of a previous discussion of modifying
------- severe/ assessment -policies of the City and that discussion at that time had
involved the passibility of changing the maximum assessments from $14.25 to $19.50
on commercial property,°ram 75e to $1.00 on sidewalks, and $4.25 to 86.50 per linear
foot for curb, gutter and pavement on residential properties. Mr. Townsend stated
that the discussion had been postponed but that some of the Cauncil had commented
that the increase should be greater; had also discussed the matter as to hoe to handle
the situation if some of the petitions received by the City were included in the 1977
and the 1972 bond election, pointing out that these petitions that have been circulated
sines 1977 up until a few mouths ago indicated that the maximum aseasaments wau'
$4.75 per linear foot plus 754 square font for sidewalks. Mr. Townsend further stated
that he has asked Mt. James K. Lantos, Director of Engineering and Physical Development,
to explain what the difference would be on Hendricks Street en assessments of 903 of
all the casts which is the maximum assessment authorized by law; the assessment rates
according to the present ordinance; and those in the proposed ordinance that was
previously discussed.
Idr. Lentos explained the transparency on Hendricks Street assessments, stating
that the first column indicates assessments to be 902 of all costs based an water,
sewer and portion of street pavement, and on which some of the property owners had
agreed; the second column indicates what the assessment will be for each one of the
properties based an the present ordinance, noting tbet the chart does not show water
and sewer assessments an sone of the properties involved primarily because they do have
that service available; added that sanitary sewer and water allows a 903 cost; and
*** The amount of the assessment rate .and thedate of hearing wee changed - See page 13
that the third column is basad on the prepesed changes in the ordinance of $15.50
per linear foot assessment and the same rate for the water and sanitary sewer. Mr.
Lantos explained that the total grojr t Bost is $160,514.77; total assessment costs
under the present ordinance is $62,296_30; and that under the proposed ordinance, it
would he $74,555.
City M€acag`r Townsend reeanded the Council that during the previous discussion
in teras of shat assesaweats should be passed on to the owners, the Council did, in
fact, note not to proceed with 90Z assessment.
Council Member Zersky questioned whether the ordinance had been changed to
reflect the increase.
City Manager Townsend clarified that the possibility of changing the ordinance
had been discussed bark in late duly.
Council Herber Zarsky expressed the opinion that he does not feel this should
be made retroactive.
City Manager Townsend pointed out that this is not a matter of waking it retro-
active, that the item on the agenda is to call a paving assessment hearing on
September 24, and that during that bearing, the Council needs to decide how much
enhancement there is to property that fronts as Hendricks Street_ He further, pointed
out that all the City has done so far is take bids on the project, but that the
Staff needs to know which rates to list in the assessment notices -- they cen go out
according to the new ordinance which has not been adopted, or it tan go out under the
existing ordinance.
Council Member Zarsky moved that the assessment notices be sent out to the
property owners showing the rates under the existing ordinance, seconded by Council
Member Best.
Mr. Lontos mentioned that he had conducted an analysis of ether cities' assessment
rates and that it appears that this City's assessment rates are considerably lower.
Council Member David Diaz indicated he is in favor of increasing the assessment
Council Member Zarsky recommended that 'he City not increase the ratio of
payments until such time as the ordinance is actually in effect. He also suggested
that those that have made a request and petitioned the Council be assessed by the
present ordinance and those that have not can be assessed the higher rates.
Comewil limnber pest inquired bew samy of the petitions were out.
Mr. lentos replied that the remainder of the 1977.bond project petitions were
. Camel]. Member lest stated that since it would require a nets bond project for
tbie-Cityi to comply with Mr. Zaraky's suggestion, in his opinion. he felt it would
be, best for the City to proceed with the present ordinance until such times a new
bond issue le approved.
Mr. Lootoe pointed out that the new petitions did not list any rates.
Council Bamber Zarsky suggested that the ordinance be amended but that the
Chit should bold to that particular charge on the petitions that are already oat.
Council Member Mar then suggested making the amendment to the ordinance on
too
different assessment rates specifying an effective date for each one.
City Manager Townsend explained that this woold present a problem in that the
City 'mild be receiving petitinos with a higher rate one week than the next, making
Council Member Diaz inquired when the City could implement an increase on
assessments.
'City Manager Townsend explained that the simplest time would be that
of a bond election. -
Mr. Lantos mentioned that the commercial rate is not ever listed in the petition
Council MMember Dunphy asked if the majority of the metropolitan cities were
paying the majority rate according to the State rate.
Mr. Lentos replied that Houston's assessment rates were from $15 to $18 per
linear foot, Austin — 612.75; Ft. 'Worth — $15.50; and Dallas — $36; all theme for
streets from 26' to 30' wide an residential and added that they were using the
allowable by State law.
Council Member Zareky stated that he would like to withdraw his original motion
because of lbs. Lentos' =went that there was not any representation on commercial
properties on any of the City's bond issues; therefore, the City would not be
violating its trust in charging the higher rate on commercial property. lir. Zarsky
then moved that the City go along with figures already established for the new
ordinance: It was seconded by Council Member Dunphy.
