City Council Meeting <br />Aug. 12. 2002 <br />Page 20 <br /> <br />in his reading of the contract the city has satisfied the reporting requirements <br />of the contract for this year as a result of the meeting with Mr. Bass and the <br />county auditor. Mr. Schenk thought Mr. Bass would agree. The contract does <br />not say that Kent Klinkerman will go over and present himself before the <br />Commissioner's Court. That has just been a traditional way that this <br />information has been presented to the Court in the past. City Attorney Schenk <br />said in his view, the city has satisfied the reporting requirements for the next <br />ensuing year by virtue of the meeting with Mr. Bass who is the designated <br />representative of Lamar County. His suggestion is that since the city has met <br />the obligation of the contract, he would like to have the authority to send a <br />letter to the county saying that they would appear, but only if invited. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Councilwoman Neeley to send a letter to the Lamar <br />County saying that a person from the City of Paris will appear before the <br />Commissioner's Court at their request to make a presentation regarding the <br />EMS as has been the practice in the past, but they will come with legal <br />representation. The motion was seconded by Councilman McCarthy and <br />carried 7 ayes, 0 nays. <br /> <br />Another thing that City Attorney Schenk discussed with the City Council was <br />an Emergency Medical Services District, which is available under the law. It <br />has separate taxing authority up to ten cents on $100.00 evaluation. The <br />advantage to creating a district is that it gets the cost out of the county budget <br />and, if the city participates in the district, it gets the cost out of the city budget. <br /> <br />Mayor Pfiester announced that the City Council will take a short break. <br /> <br />Mayor Pfiester reconvened the meeting at 8:20 p.m. <br /> <br />Resolution No. 2002-126, approving the 2002-2003 Appraisal Roll, as certified <br />by the Finance Director of the City of Paris, in his role as Tax <br />Assessor/Collector for the City of Paris, and as previously certified to the City <br />of Paris by the Chief Appraiser of the Lamar County Appraisal District, was <br />presented. A motion was made by Councilwoman Neeley, seconded by <br /> <br /> <br />
