Title 110B, 963.501-63.503; and Establishing an Effective Date for Such Actions Charlotte Smith, Finance Director, spoke before the Council on the proposed ordinances which would make changes to the city's participation in the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) benefits for the city employees. Mrs. Smith explained that one ordinance would allow a "buy back" option to those employees who had previously withdrawn deposits from the system when terminating from other municipalities. The second ordinance would provide for a 1008 update in service credits for retirement benefits. The third ordinance would adopt the provisions of Senate Bill 505, and the fourth ordinance would provide for military service credit. Mrs. Smith advised that the first ordinance would have an effective date of September 17th, if adopted, and the other ordinances would have an effective date of January 1, 1988, if adopted. At the request of the Council, Michael Stanger, Administrative Assistant to the City Manager, spoke before the Council on the provisions of Senate Bill 505, which included allowing full retirement after 25 years of service, allowing full benefits to the spouse upon death of an employee, and phasing out of supple- mental disability and replacing it with optional occupational disability. Mr. Stanger then explained the "buy back" option for employees who had withdrawn funds from the system when terminating employ- ment with other municipalities and now wish to buy back that time towards retirement. He then explained the military service credit which would allow employees with previous military service to buy credit for those years of service and place those years towards retirement. Mr. Stanger then reviewed the updated service credit and how it is calculated. The Council discussed with city staff if an employee had to be vested before the "buy back" plan could be implemented, if there was a waiting period before the "buy back" can be initiated, if there is a limit on the amount of time that can be part of the "buy back" plan, if there was a window period for the "buy back" plan or was it any time after 29 months of service, if the ordi- nances stood separately or needed to be considered as a total package, and if every city had to go through this process to change benefits in the TMRS system. MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilman Pennington and seconded by Councilman Wilson, the Council voted 7 - 0 to approve and adopt Ordinances No. 813-9-87, 819-9-87, 815-9-87, and 816-9-87, as captioned previously. The motion carried. ALLEN CITY COUNCIL REGULAR SESSION SEPTEMBER 17, 1987 Review Bids and Consider Authorizing Execution of a Contract for Con- struction of the Police and Courts Building (cont'd) Page 7 (Agenda Item VI) The Council discussed with Mr. Hidell why the bids came in so high on this project; if reference checks had been made on Nornhaas Construction Inc. as their base bid amount was the same as TMC Construction, Inc., and when the budget figure should be amended now or after the contract negotiations. Chief Carroll spoke before the Council on the question of the proposed budget for this project and the amendment that needed to be made to it in order to award the contract on the project and where additional funds could be obtained. Chief Carroll distributed to the Council a memorandum from the city's Finance Director advising of interest earnings on the 1985 - 86 bond funds in the amount of $751,226 through August 31, 1987. If additional funds were needed on the police and courts build- ing, the funds could be available from this interest earnings. Chief Carroll also distributed to the Council information showing the present proposed budget and a revised budget including $175,000 of the interest earnings, along with the city staff's recommendation on this agenda item, as stated previously. Chief Carroll pointed out the revised budget and present proposed budget as follows: NEW REVISED BUDGET FOR POLICE AND COURTS BUILDING: BUILDING CONSTRUCTION $1,600,000 LANDSCAPE 17,000 FURNISHINGS 84,000 SITE PREPARATION 175,000 ARCHITECT FEES 174,000 CONTINGENCIES 136,500 TELEPHONE SYSTEM 13,500 RADIO CONSOLE 25,000 TOTAL: $2,225,000 PRESENT PROPOSED BUDGET FOR POLICE/COURTS BUILDING: $1,425,000 17,000 84,000 175,000 174,000 175,000 0 0 $2,050,000 There was further discussion by the Council with city staff on why the budget should be amended at this time whenthe contract had not been negotiated, a more detailed explanation of the new revised budget and why there were budget figures for the telephone system and radio console in the revised budget and not in the original proposed budget, what was included in the landscaping figure, a review again of the add-on alternates and delete alter- nate and which ones were to be included in the contract amount, and considerable discussion on the fact that the bids came in so much higher than originally proposed. City Manager Jon McCarty advised the Council of information furnished by the city attorney's office on a case in which the lowest bidder had been disqualified and the bid awarded to the next lowest and best bidder. City Manager McCarty also spoke before the Council on the time element involved and the need to proceed with this process. There was further discussion by the Council on the budget items that should be considered in the negotiation of the contract amount. ALLEN CITY COUNCIL REGULAR SESSION SEPTEMBER 17, 1987 Page 6 Mr. Hidell then discussed with the Council certain areas or changes that can be made in the construction of the existing proposed building that can reduce some of the costs proposed. Mr. Hidell advised the Council that the cost reductions would not effect the size or quality of the building proposed to be built. Mr. Hidell advised the Council that the amount of the proposed bid could be reduced through the negotiation process with the bidder and this was an acceptable consideration. Review Bids and Consider Authorizing Execution of a Contract for Con- struction of the Police and Courts Building (Agenda Item VI) Richard Carroll, Chief of Police, spoke before the Council on the solicitation of bids, receipt of 13 bid proposals, the bid opening held on August 7, 1987, and the tabulation of the bid results for the construction of the new police and courts building. Chief Carroll advised the Council that the base bid on the project included the building construction, land- scaping and contingencies. The proposed budget for this project had been approved at $1,617,000. Chief Carroll then explained to the Council the add-on Alternate 1, which included the cost for a watch canopy; add-on Alternate 2, which were costs for the finish out of additional cell areas; and delete -off Alternate 3, which indicated the costs for replacing the steel window frames with aluminum frames. Chief Carroll pointed out that city staff's recommendation was the bid should be awarded based upon the base bid, and the add-on of Alternate No. 1. Chief Carroll pointed out to the Council the range in the 13 bids received from the lowest from Malachi Corporation in the amount of $1,757,553 to the highest being Diversity, Inc. in the amount of $1,970,000 for the base bid amounts. Chief Carroll advised that the city staff's recommendation and the architects' recommendation was to: 1. Based upon the architects recommendation, eliminate the lowest bidder, being Malachi Corporation. 2. Authorize negotiations and contracting with TMC Construction, who is the lowest and best bid. Also, in recognition of the scope of this request, appoint two Councilmen to work with city staff in securing a contract not to exceed the revised budget. 3. Approve the budget revision as proposed using $175,000 interest earned. Bill Hidell, with Hidell Architec ts, spoke before the Council on the design of the existing building and the adding of the additional square footage from the original estimated amount and the condition of the construction market at the time they designed the building. Bill Hidell also spoke before the Council on the reference checks that had been conducted on the lowest bidder, being Malachi Corporation. This company was presently working on the renovation to the city's Central Fire Station. Mr. Hidell advised the Council on the poor quality of work being done by this com- pany on the renovation project. Mr. Hidell then advised of ref- erence checks on the TMC Construction, Inc., and that their ref- erence checks had been favorable. Mr. Hidell advised the Council that since all of the bids came in over the budget, the city had an option of throwing out all of the bids and rebidding the project, however, he advised against rebidding the contract at this time. Mr. Hidell then discussed with the Council certain areas or changes that can be made in the construction of the existing proposed building that can reduce some of the costs proposed. Mr. Hidell advised the Council that the cost reductions would not effect the size or quality of the building proposed to be built. Mr. Hidell advised the Council that the amount of the proposed bid could be reduced through the negotiation process with the bidder and this was an acceptable consideration.

To authorize negotiations and contracting with TMC Construction, who is the lowest and best bidder. Also, in recognition of the scope of this request, appoint two Councilmen to work with city staff in securing a contract not to exceed the revised budget; in accordance with the city staff's recommendation and architect's recommendation, as stated.

(Agenda Item VII) Richard Carroll, Chief of Police, spoke before the Council on the proposed ordinance authorizing the city to collect a fee, up to ten dollars ($10.00), from any person who has completed a Defensive Driving Course and is requesting dismissal of a traffic offense. Chief Carroll advised the Council that this new law was passed by the 70th Legislature and was necessary at this time due to the number of cases that are dismissed because the violators take the defensive driving courses. Chief Carroll pointed out that there are administrative costs that still need to be recovered when these cases are dismissed.

Resolution No. 818-9-87(R): A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Allen, Collin County, Texas, Authorizing the Mayor of the City of Allen to Enter Into Mutual Aid Agreements and for the City Council to Recognize Exist- ing Mutual Aid Agreements. (Agenda Item VIII) ALLEN CITY COUNCIL REGULAR SESSION SEPTEMBER 17, 1987 Page 9 Resolution No. 818-9-87(R) (cont'd) (Agenda Item VIII) Ron Gentry, Fire Chief, spoke before the Council on the proposed resolution which would authorize the mayor to execute mutual aid agreements with the cities of Frisco, Murphy, Parker, Wylie, and Lucas and also recognize and reaffirm the existing mutual aid agreements with the cities of Fairview, McKinney, Plano, and Princeton. Chief Gentry explained to the Council how the mutual aid agreements between fire departments and the jurisdictions they protect had been standard operating procedure for many years. Chief Gentry explained that several times other departments had responded to calls of aid from Allen and several times Allen has responded to calls from other cities. He pointed out that these agreements protect the firemen and their beneficiaries in case of an accident or death while fighting a fire in another juris- diction. Chief Gentry explained that all of the fire depart- ments in Collin County are working towards an automatic mutual aid dispatching system in Collin County, thus there was a need to bring together the execution of mutual aid agreements with adjacent cities that Allen currently does not have, being Frisco, Murphy, Parker, Wylie, and Lucas, and to recognize the existing agreements with certain other adjacent cities, such as Plano, McKinney, Princeton and Fairview. The Council discussed with Chief Gentry the question of liability if an Allen firefighter is injured or killed fighting a fire in another city; what is involved in the mutual aid agreement, i.e., fire and ambulance services. MOTION: Upon a motion made by Mayor Pro Tem Farmer and seconded by Councilman Wolfe, the Council voted 7 - 0 to approve and adopt Resolution No. 818-9-87(R), as captioned previously.

Mr. McCarty pointed out that two consultants would be retained, one to work with the cities, counties, and property owners, and the other to work with the State Highway Department. City Manager McCarty pointed out also that Allen's portion of the costs in this project would be $1,619. The Council discussed with city staff if the decision was between the two proposals presented in the agenda packet marked as Alternate I and Alternate II. Alternate I was State Highway 121 from Tarrant County Line to U. S. 75 and v Alternate II was State Highway 121 from Interstate Highway 35 to U. S. 75. City Manager McCarty indicated that it would be one of these proposals. The Council also discussed if one of the cities affected did not want to participate, would the costs for the consultants be redistributed. MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilman Wilson and seconded by Councilman Pennington, the Council voted 7 - 0 to authorize participation in the joint effort to hire consultants to assist with the State Highway 121 project.

Councilman Wilson asked city staff about the status of the economic development program between the city, the Chamber of Commerce and the School District, and if there had been any progress on the development of the economic development committee or the agreement.
