Next, Mr. Crull compared the present cross section using minimum requirements to the proposed cross section using the design method and additional support for curbs and gutters. Council Member Martin inquired whether the proposal had been reviewed by the Planning Commission. City Manager Garza stated that the item had not, but would be soon and that members of the Planning Commission assisted in the development. Council Member Martin next inquired whether his previous inquiry concerning overweight vehicles operating in the City had been addressed. City Manager Garza stated that a report had been prepared by staff and would be presented to the Council soon. Mr. Martin then expressed concern about damage to City streets by these vehicles and suggested that the City implement spot checking procedures in the City. City Manager Garza stated that unlimited permitting capacity was available and use of the streets owned by the State was allowed as long as the permits were paid. Next, Mr. Martin expressed concern that street design would be based on estimating future traffic patterns and stated that soil conditions should be the controlling factor. He commented favorably on the utilization of the proposed six inch L -curb and lime stabilization. Then, Mr. Crull discussed the soil conditions and recent utilization of the design method in various areas of the City. Responding to Council Member Martin, Mr. Crull next discussed the approximate cost per linear foot of utilizing the design method as compared to minimum requirements. Council Member McNichols inquired about the City's policy concerning the design of arterial streets, and Mr. Crull explained the need for a written policy concerning this matter. Council Member Moss examined the approximate cost of a home through the utilization of a higher grade of paving, and Mr. Crull discussed the assumptions prepared by staff concerning increased house prices resulting from increased development costs. Mr. Moss pointed out that the major factors in street design are axle loading and soil bearing, and Mr. Crull replied in the affirmative. Next, Mr. Moss agreed with Dr. McNichols that the long term cost was less to design the street correctly initially, and Mr. Crull compared the costs.

Mayor Rhodes opened the discussion on Item 5 regarding a winter averaging rate design program for one family residences. Minutes Regular Co June 8, 1993 Page 8 it Meeting Mr. Bill Hennings, Group Manager, Public Works/Utilities, discussed the effects the capping of winter averaging decreases and increases would have on the consumers individual bills as well as overall bills. Council Member Martin expressed concern that capping the increases of twenty-five percent or more would cause an increase in the base bill. Responding, Mr. Hennings discussed the number of consumers which would be affected and the amounts of their bills. Council Member McNichols inquired whether a cap on the bill decreases as well as the increases would have an offsetting effect on the base bill increase, and Mr. Hennings replied that it would not. Council Member Galindo commented that the consumers were provided an opportunity to conserve water to reduce their bills and that he did not support a cap. Council Member Cooper pointed out that it would not be fair to cap the decreases since consumers diligently monitored water during the winter months to conserve. In response to Dr. McNichols' comments, Council Member Martin stated that the winter averaging program was an attempt to place wastewater usage on a utilization of the resource method and was not for the purpose of a cost of service method. Mr. Martin then stated that he supported a cap on the increases because the small users would be mostly affected. Responding to Mayor Rhodes, Mr. Hennings stated that a cap on the increases by 80 percent would minimally affect the other consumers. Next, Mr. Martin moved to amend the ordinance to include, "provided, however, that the increase in any customer's bill resulting from the change to winter averaging shall be limited to a maximum of 25 percent." The motion failed for a lack of a second. A brief discussion ensued about the effect of a cap on increases of 25 percent or more and it was determined that the lower cap would cause a greater effect on other consumers. City Manager Garza pointed out that the cap would be utilized only the first year to minimize the effects of the winter averaging program, and would not continue indefinitely. Then, Mayor Rhodes moved to amend the ordinance to include, "provided, however, that the increase in any customer's bill resulting from the change to winter averaging shall be limited to a maximum of 80 percent." The motion failed for a lack of a second. Council Member Moss commented on the success of the winter averaging program in the City of San Antonio, and Mr. Hennings discussed the program in San Antonio. Responding to Council Member Moss, Mr. Hennings discussed the date the winter averaging rates would be on the consumer's bills. Minutes Regular Cu.
