Minutes of Regular Session —July 13, 2000
Citizen Communication
Mitchell Pearce, 4704 Ripplecreek Drive, spoke to Council regarding what
the Bay Oaks Harbor Property Owners Association considers a zoning violation
by an unlicensed RV Park at Bay Oaks Harbor.
Mayor Alfaro stated that Council would refer this matter to the
administration.
Consider Proposed Resolution No. 000713 -1, Authorizing Submittal of the
2000 -2001 Community Development Block Grant Action Plan to the U. S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
The City must submit an annual application and proposed Action Plan to
HUD in order to receive the CDBG Entitlement Grant. The Community
Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) has reviewed proposals and
formulated funding recommendations for 2000 -2001. City Council has the final
authority concerning the activities and level of funding contained in the CDBG
program each year. This budget document contains the recommendations from
both the Community Development Advisory Committee and City staff concerning
the activities and the level of funding for the 2000 -2001 CDBG program year.
The difference between the CDAC recommendation and the staff
recommendation is the funding to Love, Inc. and the taxi program. The CDAC
recommendation includes $12,000 for Love, Inc. Staff recommendation
appropriates those funds to the taxi program.
Merle Epperson, 703 Fleetwood
Merle Epperson spoke to Council asking that the City continue its support
of Love, Inc.
Tommy Meekins, 2100 West Baker Road
Tommy Meekins told Council that Love, Inc. was expecting funding from
other sources in about one year. He asked that Council continue their support
for one more year.
Eric Halverson, 801 Elmwood Drive
Eric Halverson spoke in support of CDBG funding for Love, Inc. for one
more year. Also, he asked Council to consider expanding the general fund
budget for programs such as the Literacy Program and the Taxi Program.

Program's Families Learning Together.
Mayor Alfaro
Mayor Alfaro said he had overlooked the fact that Kathy Rodriguez had
signed up to speak on Item No. 1, which is approval of the minutes, but Ms.
Rodriguez had left the meeting.
Council Member Godwin moved to adopt the budget recommended by
staff which did not include the $12,000 for Love, Inc. Council Member
Almendarez seconded the motion.
Council Member Mundinger asked Reverend Meekins if it was correct that
if funds were granted this year, Love, Inc. would seek funding from other sources
next year. Reverend Meekins stated that this was the last year Love, Inc. would
need assistance.
Council Member Mundinger asked if Love, Inc. were funded if that would
jeopardize the Literacy Program. The City Manager assured him it would not as
the $12,000 would come from the Taxi Program.
The vote follows:
Ayes: Council Member Godwin
Nays: Council Members Almendarez, Anderson, Mundinger,
Murray, and Sheley
Mayor Alfaro

On or about February 29, 2000, TCP submitted to the City a FCC Form
1205 with a proposed schedule of equipment and installation rates. Being
certified to regulate these rates, the City, through its consultant C2 Consulting
Services, Inc. ( "C2 "), reviewed the proposed schedule of rates, which went into
effect ninety days after their submission in accordance with FCC rules, subject to
a prospective rate reduction and refund. Based upon its review, C2 recommends
the following:

Requiring TCP to set its hourly service charge for installation,
maintenance and repair of equipment to an amount not to exceed
$29.78 per hour; and
Requiring TCP to institute quality controls for consistency in the
reporting data by divisions should TCP continue to employ an
aggregated methodology.
Ultimately, this ordinance results in the following rate changes:
As such, TCP must refund to subscribers, within 45 days of the adoption
of this ordinance, the difference between the maximum permitted rates
established herein and the actual charges to the extent that actual charges have
exceeded such maximum permitted rates, plus interest on such amounts
calculated in accordance with FCC rules.

Rates for Basic Service Tier of Cable Service proposed by Texas Cable
Partners, L.P. ('TCP "); establishing the Maximum Permitted Basic Cable
Service Rates per Subscriber per month; and allows "mark -up" costs
subject to refund
On or about February 29, 2000, TCP submitted to the City a FCC Form
1240 with a schedule of rates for the basic service tier and expanded basic
service tier.
Being certified to regulate these rates, the City, through its consultant C2
Consulting Services, Inc. ( "C2 "), reviewed the proposed schedule of rates, which

Rates for Basic Service Tier of Cable Service proposed by Texas Cable
Partners, L.P. ('TCP "); establishing the Maximum Permitted Basic Cable
Service Rates per Subscriber per month; and allows "mark -up" costs
subject to refund
On or about February 29, 2000, TCP submitted to the City a FCC Form
1240 with a schedule of rates for the basic service tier and expanded basic
service tier.
Being certified to regulate these rates, the City, through its consultant C2
Consulting Services, Inc. ( "C2 "), reviewed the proposed schedule of rates, which
went into effect ninety days after their submission in accordance with FCC rules.
r Based upon its review, C2 recommends the following:
20000713 -6
Minutes of Regular Session — July 13, 2000
No Adjustment: TCP has supplied supporting documentation in
sufficient detail to allow for sufficient review and the ultimate
approval of the schedule of rates for the basic service tier.
Mark -up Allowances: These allowances are not allowed
pursuant to the current FCC regulations, although the FCC has
initiated rule- making proceedings which could result in the
reinstatement of such allowances. Given the fact that the FCC is
presently considering this issue, the proposed ordinance allows for
the mark -up allowances for purposes of this rate filing but provides
for a refund should mark -up allowances not be reinstated as a cost
component.
As such, should the City Council approve the proposed ordinance, the
resulting basic service rate will remain $8.66, instead of the $8.97 charged during
the previous rate year. The new rate year is from June 1, 2000, to May 31, 2001.

Consent Agenda
Council considered the consent agenda items "a" through "g.°
a. Proposed Ordinance No. 000713 -7 authorizes renewal of the
annual Emergency Medical Services Pharmaceutical Contract to
Sun Belt Medical /Emergi- Source for $19,309.30. They have
submitted a written request to renew their contract for the same unit
pricing. The quantities remain the same. This contract is used by
the EMS Department.
b. Proposed Ordinance No. 000713 -8 awards the annual fittings,
valves, and meter boxes contract to Golden Triangle Pipe for
$40,679.35. Invitations to bid were mailed to four bidders and we
received three bids. This contract is used by the Utilities
Department for the water distribution and water rehabilitation
projects, and Public Works for drainage and sewer maintenance
(manhole covers, etc). This contract is designed to stock inventory
items in the central warehouse. This year's contract is a 10.6 -
percent increase compared to last year's award amount of
$36,777.95 with Golden Triangle. Golden Triangle would not
exercise their option to renew because of their suppliers' increased
costs. All suppliers have increased their costs due to the raw
product cost (scrap iron) and transportation increases. The
increased cost for energy influences the cost used in making the
products as well. Other increases are due to the addition of heavy
weight cast -iron manhole covers and the replacement of concrete
meter boxes with more expensive cast -iron meter boxes.
C. Proposed Ordinance No. 000713 -9 authorizes renewal of the
annual fill sand contract to Smart Materials, Inc. for $19,563.75.
Smart Materials has submitted a written request to renew their
current contract with the allowable Consumer Price Index for all
Urban Areas (CPIU) of 3.1- percent increase. The CPIU is an
average based on the previous twelve months. The new unit price
per yard is $4.23. Quantities remain the same. This contract is
used primarily to fill and level construction areas where necessary.
20000713 -12
Minutes of Regular Session —July 13, 2000
d. Proposed Ordinance No. 000713 -10 authorizes the purchase and
installation of metal roll -down hurricane shutters for the Fire
Administration Building to Quality Aluminum for $27,350.
Invitations to bid were mailed to three suppliers and we received
two bids. The shutters are being acquired through a $20,000 grant
from FEMA through the Texas Division of Emergency
Management. The Fire Administration Building is the alternate
Emergency Operations Center. The roll -down shutters will protect
the building and its occupants and make it a more suitable structure
for use as an Emergency Operations Center. The shutters must be
installed by August 15 under the terms of a grant. The match
portion of the grant will be paid from the Fire Department general
fund budget.
e. Proposed Ordinance No. 000713 -11 awards the bid for three
portable combination monitor /defibrillator /pacemakers, 12 -lead
ECG for the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division to Zoll
Medical Corporation for $24,193.65. The City submitted eleven
questions to the apparent low bidder, MRL (Medical Research
Laboratories, Inc.) to determine whether the equipment bid met
minimum specifications. MRL did not respond. Information
available to the EMS Division indicates that the equipment does not
meet specifications. Invitations to bid were mailed to five suppliers
and we received three bids and one no -bid. The total bid is
inclusive of trade -in value for three existing EMS units at $6,000 per
unit traded in.
f. Proposed Ordinance No. 000713 -12 authorizes the purchase of a
one -ton truck cab and chassis for the Traffic Control Division
through Houston - Galveston Area Council for $20,529.10. This
truck will replace a 1988 truck that has a broken frame and an
engine in need of replacement. The truck is used for transporting
twelve -feet long barricades, barrels, warning signs, and has an
arrow board for warning traffic of lane obstructions.

Consider Appointment of Co- Chairpersons of the 2001 Bond Committee
To proceed with the development of the Capital Improvement Program to
be funded by the 2001 Bonds, it is necessary to appoint the Co- Chairpersons of
the 2001 Bond Committee. Council Member Sheley moved to appoint Ida Griffith

Nays: None
The motion carried.
Consider 2001 Bond Election Schedule
The purpose of the 2001 Bond Committee is to review the various projects
proposed to be funded by the 2001 general obligation bond issue. The date
selected for the bond election will have a significant impact on the timetable for
the Committee. If the election is held in January, the time for the Committee and
its subcommittees to receive and process information and then make a
recommendation to City Council is more compressed than if the election is
scheduled in March or May.
The significant difference in each schedule is the time for the Committee
and subcommittees to gather information and review the information.
Considering the information to be gathered and reviewed and considering the
urgency of the programs to be funded by this bond issue, a March election date
is recommended. Council Member Sheley moved to approve the 2001 Bond
Election for March 24, 2001. Council Member Anderson seconded the motion.
The vote follows:

Quantities remain the same this year compared to last year.
This year's contract is a 10.6% increase compared to last year's award
amount of $36,777.95 with Golden Triangle. Increase is due to
addition of heavy weight cast iron manhole covers and replacement
of concrete meter boxes with more expensive cast iron meter boxes.
All suppliers have increased their costs due to raw product's cost
(scrap iron) and transportation increases. The increased cost for
energy influences the cost used in making the products as well.
