Design (Agenda Item V-A)
Mr. Lewis F. McLain, Jr., Municipal Finance Consultant, spoke

to attend.
Mr. McLain distributed to the Council some new information
which showed some new rate information in the form of new Rate
Alternative A, new Rate Alternative B, and new Rates Alternative
C, D, E, F, and G. Mr. McLain also distributed a sheet showing the

Mr. McLain advised of the objectives of the study, the financial
plan, revenue highlights, expenditure highlights, working capital,
debt service coverage test, extra construction funding, and the
conclusions of the study as reflected in the rate study booklet
prepared by Mr. McLain.

to raise the water and sewer rates in the city and advised that at

Discuss Water and Sewer Rate
Design (continued) (Agenda Item V-A)
At this time, Mr. McLain explained and reviewed the materials
that he had distributed at the beginning of his presentation.
Mr. McLain advised that the Rate Alternative A represented the
flat 18.01% across the board increase; Rate Alternative B repre-
sented the water conservation theory; and Rate Alternative C
was the product of the discussions held at the workshop session.
Mr. McLain explained that Rate Alternatives D, E, F, and G had
also been provided for additional alternatives.
Mr. McLain then explained the sheet entitled "Comparison
of Minimum Bill Alternatives" and showed how this sheet can
be used in the comparison of rate alternatives.
There was considerable discussion by the Council on the
proposed rate alternatives, the justification in the figure
of $865,203 in revenues for the Alternative Rate C, the theory
of having a rate which encourages water conservation, the
average number of gallons used by water customers, if the
growth rate was used in the calculation of the proposed rates
and what the rate was, the cost of the water from the North
Texas Municipal Water District, giving free water to the
Senior Citizens, rates for different size meters, and rates
for residential versus commercial, what rate schedule should
be used for purposes of the public hearing, and if the water
and sewer rate ordinance had to be adopted at the public hearing.

direction to be given to the city staff for the preparation
of the ordinance containing the water and sewer rates.

mendation was on the proposed rates.
City Manager Jon McCarty advised that the city staff had
recommended to the Council at the workshop session that they
give strong consideration to an inverted rate or a modified
inverted rate and the basis of that recommendation was the
water conservation issue.

D was proposed as the rate to be used in preparation of the
ordinance. In a consensus vote, the Council directed the
city staff to use Rate Alternative "D" in the water and
sewer rate ordinance.

by Councilman McClure, the Council voted 7 - 0 to

Resolution Designating The
Allen American the Official
Newspaper of the City of Allen,
Collin County, Texas (Agenda Item VIII)
Before consideration of this item, Councilman Gary Koch advised
the Council that he would be abstaining from consideration of
this item due to a possible conflict of interest and that the
appropriate conflict of interest statement had been filed with
the City Secretary.
City Secretary Marty Hendrix advised the Council that the
city is required by law to designate an official newspaper of
the city for publication of the legal notices, which is also
a requirement of state law. Ms. Hendrix stated that "The
Allen American" had been selected because it is the only newspaper
in Allen at the present time which meets the definition of
"newspaper" as defined by state law.
Ms. Hendrix advised the Council that there is presently a
new newspaper in Allen, "The Allen Leader", which will be
qualified as a newspaper this time next year for the purposes
of state law. At that time, the city will have to go out for
bids for the official newspaper.
There was a brief discussion by the Council on the designation
of the official newspaper.

Mrs. Buehler advised the Council of the Library Board's
strategy of the development of a comprehensive, written document
fully describing all that a proposed library facility must be,
contain, represent and make provision for. The document would
be a building planning program and would represent the consensual
thought of the board, the Library Director and a consultant from
the Texas State Library.
Mrs. Buehler advised that William Gooch, Texas State Library
Consultant, had consented to perform this work free of charge and
would be meeting with the Library Board soon to discuss this
project.

study, the proposed recommendation that will be made from this
study and the timeframe for completion of this study.
This item was received as a matter of information. There was
no action taken on this item.
Main Street Study (Agenda Item X -A)
City Manager Jon McCarty advised the Council that an appraiser
had been selected to begin appraising the properties involved in
the Main Street improvements project.
Also, Mr. McCarty advised that the Council -appointed committee
had met with the city's engineer and the preliminary engineering work
for Phase I of this project had been initiated.
This information had been provided to the Council to keep
them apprised of the progress on this project. There was no
action taken on this item.
Revenue Bond Sale (Agenda Item X -B)
City Manager Jon McCarty advised the Council of some conver-
sations he had had with the city's bond agent, J. D. Buchanan,
regarding the city obtaining some additional financing around
the first of the new year in order to begin some construction
on a project.
Mr. McCarty stated that the specific project would be for
the Second Delivery Point, whether the location is determined
to be in Plano or on Stacy Road.
Mr. McCarty advised that the city staff is recommending
that the city move expeditiously in this regard and that
additional means of financing, perhaps with the use of certificates
of obligation, is being checked into in order to provide for
additional money needed to make up the difference between the cost
of the work and the amount of revenue bonds available for this
project.
This was received as a matter of information. There was no
action taken on this item.
General Discussion
City Manager Jon McCarty advised the Council of the discussions
with the City of Plano recently regarding the boundary agreement
reached between the two cities and the disannexation and annexation
of land to adjust the boundaries appropriately.
Mr. McCarty advised the Council that per Plano's city charter
and Allen's city charter, if property is to be disannexed, the
property owner has to request it. At this time, the property owner
located at the northeast corner of State Highway 5 and Chaparral
Road does not wish to be disannexed from the City of Plano and
be annexed by the City of Allen. So far, this is the only
property owner that the city is aware of that feels that way.
Mr. McCarty stated that since this situation does exist,
the boundary agreement will not be finalized as soon as both
cities had anticipated.
