City Manager Garza presented a utility consolidation proposal to raise
wastewater rates by 9.5 percent, water rates by 3 percent, and gas rates by 2
percent. 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.

suggestion.
Mayor Turner called for comments from the audience.
Mr. Barry Pillinger, 6606 Clarion Drive, expresccd support of the
consolidation of the utilities but expressed concern about the delay of the
Southside Plant. He stated that he did not think by redistributing the present
flows between the Oso and Westside would provide for any growth.
Following a brief discussion, City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for
their votes and the following were passed:

Motion authorizing the City Manager to proceed with the actions required,
including obtaining the servirps of M.E. Allison & Co., Inc. as Financial

outstanding water revenues bonds and the outstanding wastewater related
general improvement bonds. Approximately $60 million of refunding bonds

Relative to the Charter mandated police staffing report, Deputy City
Manager Jesus Garza informed the Council that the Police Officers Association
presented a proposal to the City which staff has not had an opportunity to
review. 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.

cost $300,000 and he would have to rearrange some capital improvement

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.
