He recommended the financial consolidation of the three utilities and the new rates as an alternative to a 16 percent rate increase for wastewater treatment which had been propoccd earlier and approved by the Council. He stated that the new rates would become effective with Cycle 13 billings on or about November 19, 1990 for October utility services. Mr. Garza elaborated on the benefits of the proposal which would be financial and organizational consolidation of the three utilities; a substantial revised Capital Improvement Program; implementation of the rate study over 5-6 years; reduce pressure on tax rate; a $3./5 million G.O. reserve; no new wastewater debt this year; and live within the six percent rate cap that might be approved by the voters in January. Mr. Garza continued by expounding on a revised Capital Improvement Program which would delay modifications to the Oso, defer construction of the Southside Plant, move forward with the Westside expansion, and a new Broadway Plant/Lift Station. Mr. Garza stated that the proposal would entail refunding existing wastewater revenue bonds, as well as existing general obligation bonds which were issued for wastewater purposes. He advised that the City would obtain the services of M.E. Allison & Co., Inc. as financial advisor, McCall, Parkhurst and Horton as Bond Counsel, and Dean Witter Capital Markets and Texas Commerce Bank as underwriters, to advance refund the outstanding water revenue bonds and the outstanding wastewater related general improvement bonds. Mr. Garza explained that the net cost to the City to accomplish this program would be $1.3 million. Mr. Garza responded to various questions raised by the Council and in reply to concerns expressed by Council Member Hunt about the delay of the construction of the Southside Plant, Mr. Garza stated that the delay would be a minimum five year deferral. He indicated that the City would begin a planning process and would like to develop a Master Plan to consider new ideas. Council Members Martin and Guerrero expressed support of the plan for moving wastewater forward. Mr. Martin suggested that staff give a presentation relative to the Southside Plant at a reduced capacity versus the cost of the expansion of any other plants. Minutes Regular Council Meeting October 9, 1990 Page 3 City Manager Garza stated that staff is working on a presentation for a revised Capital Improvement Program which would encompass Mr. Martin's suggestion. Mayor Turner called for comments from the audience.

Allison & Co., Inc. as Financial Advisor, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton as Bond Counsel and Dean Witter Capital Markets and Texas Commerce Bank as underwriters, to advance refund the outstanding water revenues bonds and the outstanding wastewater related general improvement bonds.

He indicated that staff is willing to negotiate with the association in good faith to determine a reasonable solution. Council Member Galindo stated that he supports additional police officers in the City but will not support a petition which would mandate that the City change the City charter. Council Member Guerrero inquired if the association would have sufficient time to acquire the signatures if they did not reach a compromise with staff, and City Secretary Chapa responded that in order for him to have sufficient time to validate the petition, it would have to be submitted to the Council at next week's Council Meeting, following which the Council would have to direct him to begin the validation process. In response to a question from Mayor Turner, Deputy City Manager Garza responded that he does not know if an agreement will be reached by next Tuesday but there would be an analysis by then. Mayor Turner recommended that staff attempt to work out a compromise in which the Police Chief would be directed to work out a five-year plan that clearly provides for an effective level of police staffing which would be arceptable to the citizens. Council Member Hunt suggested that the Police Officers Association continue to obtain the signatures for their petition. Council Member Martin concurred with Council Member Hunt and expressed the opinion that it is not the council's job to negotiate policing and staffing of City departments with employee groups because that is a function of management. Mr. Sam Granato, President of the Police Officers Association, stated that the association intends to continue gathering signatures for their petition. He stated that they do intend to enter into negotiations to reach a compromise. * * * * * * * * * * * * * Assistant City Manager Hennings provided a synopsis of the Parkdale Branch Library and Parkdale Plaza negotiations with the owners of Parkdale Plaza about acquiring parking area for wze by library patrons and also acquiring street right-of-way where the private driveway is located between Gollihar and the Staples/Carmel intersection.

He stated that the details are being worked out and the agreement should be completed and ready for Council consideration within 60 days. City Manager Garza conveyed that the expenditure to build the street would cost $300,000 and he would have to rearrange some capital improvement priorities. He asked for direction from the Council to be able to identify a funding source. A substantial discussion followed and Council Members Martin and Rhodes intimated that it is the responsibility of the City to provide a safe and decent access to the Parkdale Library. City Manager Garza recommended that the City examine the priorities for the library and provide what is necessary to furnish access to the library. A motion was made by Council Member Rhodes to do whatever is necessary to provide adequate arrecs and parking to Parkdale Library from Gollihar Street. The motion was seconded by Council McComb. Mr. Irving Dietz, 455 Miramar, expressed the opinion that the City should provide equal access to the Parkdale Library from Staples Street, as well as Gollihar. He stated that if the property is on the tax roll for less than its actual value, the City should ensure that it is being taxed at its actual value.
