MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 16,1998
The City Council oftbe City of Palis met in special session, Wednesday, September 16,1998,
6:00 P. M., City Council Chambers, City Hall, Paris, Tex.1S. Mayor Charles H. Neeley called
the meeting to order with tile following Councilmembers present: Jerry L. Thomas, Alan R.
Boyd, Mary Ann FIsher, Eric S. ClilTord, Kevin Grny, and Gene McWaters, Jr. Also present
was City Manager, Michael E. Malone, City Attorney, Scott P. Foster, and City Clerk, Mattie
Cunningham.
Mayor Neeley declared the public hearing open on the City Manager's Proposed Budget for
fIScal year 1998-1999 for the City of Paris, and called fOI' those who wished to speak to come
forward.
Dr. Joe Dupree, 730 Sherwood Olive, business addl'ess 2333 Lamar Ave., appeared before the
Council and Dr. said he has sel'eral questions that he would !ilce addressed.
1. Is there money in Ihe budget to supply water and sewer service to the Margral'es
Addition, if so, when. and at what cost to the residents'?
City Manager Malone advised that tlle water and seweJ' extensions will be addressed in the
Water and Sewer Revenue bonds that we have. City Manager Malone said there were fund
available, and tllC Ci~' will be doing a pro rnta water line e:l.1ension in the Margraves Addition
first. This pro rata wateJ'line extension will probably be City sponsored with an opportunity
for residents to pay their cost out. TIle City Engineer is working on the plan and specifications
and trying to determine what tllat cost will be, and the city will be working with the people and
their particular problem. City Manager Malone said that this should be addressed in temlS
of process of petitions from the residents, or a sponsorship by the city. In any pro rnta project
the cost is projected, which is pal1 of the pro rata ordinance.
2. Is there budget plans 10 COlTeCt the drainage at 24'" and Lamar Ave'? Dr. Dupree said
he knew the answer to this question, and it is no.
Dr. Dupree said the administration has chosen instead of addressing an area of this type. to
make capital expenditures that will elTee! a limited llI11nbc'r or people, and wanted to knoll' ir
the Council thinks the citizens or P:lIis wanted them to spend this money when we hal'e poor
streets, curb and gutter' problems, and not on this (Jr'ainage problem at 24'" and Lamar, Ihe
problem is all over Ihe City of PaJis. Dr'. Dupn'e said let the I'oters decide on e:ll'it:1I
expenditures and do this through a bond issue.
City Manager Malone advisl'd that then' is no money in the budget 1'01' this particular project.
City Manager Malone said this would be a C:lpit:ll (llllject, ir it done any where near cOITedly.

Page 2
tJle Plum Street PmjecL City Manager Malone said there are some things tJlat could be done
with funds that are in the budget that might help to some small degree. City Manager Malone
said the budget presented to tJle Council was balanced in all ways that one would want to
balance the budget, and tile reoccurring expenses are met by reoccurring revenues. City
Manager Malone said he proposed tJlat the City Council consider in the near future, and
during tJlis budget year, issuing certificates of obligation in some amount from two and one-
half to five millions dollars for a v:lIity of projects, including drainage, and knew that this
particular project is one tJlat has received a lot of attention, and there has been a lot of input
from citizens of Paris. If tJle Council docs issue the certificate of obligation, tllis is one project
that would come forward, and something would be accomplished next summer.
3. Do we have any plans in tJIC budget fo/' st/'eets in the newly annexed areas, such as 46'h
N. E. and 47'. S. E.'!
City Manager Malone said that befOl'e anything is done about street~ in the Margraves
Addition, the water and sewer lines will have to be addressed, tJlen following that, would be
the development of stl"eets. The citizens of Ihat al'e;1 can petition for streets and help pay for
a pottion of the cost as an asscssment progl~UIl. There currently is, and has been, when funded
an opportunity to up-grade the streets in Paris. City Manager Malone said that there is a
program to upgrade gravel street, and the M:lI'gmves Addition will now be included in that
program.
4. Our budget is increasing by two millions dollars, can we justify this in a city that has
had the same population since 1963 with no increase services?
City Manager Malone said the City has increased services everywhere. For example, we have
mOI-e police oflicers, more firefighters, added more personnel in the Libm'1'. hotmix overlay,
drainage projects. city pool, new fire station. and improved the parks.
City Attomey Foster advised that the City of Pads's population is not the same as we had in
1963. It has grown approximately 30%.
5. Is itt.-ue that employee's salal'y aCCllunl is ((II' 13.5 million dollars in thc budget, or
48% of the budget'!
City Manager yIalone said he would nol be suqIJised, and advised that anyone in the
community would observe we have incn':lsed senices, which in turn increased the need for
additional personnel.
6. Why should the ncwly annexed arcas I", laxed whell serviccs were nol pf'Ovided to any
llf the al'cas, not just the oncs that II'c,'e under protcs!'!

Mayor Neeley advised that Reno tiled a law suit, put a stop to the process of the annexation,
and it was not resolved until August 17, 1998, and the City did not spend any money in the
areas of dispute, and also it is the law regarding taxation.
Kit Wood, 710 Lake Drive, Powderly, TeX:lS, came forward and told the Council that she is the
Chairman of the Library Advisory Board of Paris, and she was present with other members
of the Library Advisory Board in snpport of the Library, and thanked the Council for what
they have done for Ille Library. Ms. Wood said they would like to see Ille budget stay as it was
presented.
Charles Taylor, 830 Paradi~e Drive, c~ul1e fonvard telling the Council that he wanted to follow
lip on what Mr. Dupree has said. NIr. TaylOl' said they had four people in the Margraves
Addition to run out of water. and eXIll'essed the need for speeding up getting them water.
Ed Siddle appeared before the Council asking that the Council leave the budget as it is,
especially the public safely, and his main concel'n wa~ the police department. Mr. Siddle said
we had one of the finest police dep:u1menL~ around and Chief Louis deserves a lot of credit for
what'he has done for this dep~ll'tment. Mr. Siddle introduced George Robinson and Don
Kostemlan who were present in support of the police department.
Steve l'lead, 1540 Cope Drive, a new resident of Paris, came fonvard expressing his opinion
that Ille budget should stay :l~ it is. [VIr-. Head discussed the continuation of rebuilding the fire
department and urged the City Council to continue the progress. Mr. Head said be has not
seen a garbage truck or fire trucks in his area, but he is going to have to pay city taxes, and
that is not fair.
Don Stuckey, 2350 Ballard Dr'., was also present stating that the services that the Paris
residents receive, Illey pay t~lxes on. bnt Lamar County taxes the citizens of Paris, and Illey do
not receive anything, and would lil<e to see support to help the citizens in Pads, Texas on some
of their problems. Mr. Studley said if it was not for the Noon Optimist, Breakfast Optimist,
and the Kiwanis a lot of things that would not be getting done because it is volunteer. We bave
baseball park, soccer, and we have foothall, and how many people ouL~ide the city limits use
these facilities'! M,'. Stuckey said Lamar COllnty has not o'Tered any help in that direction.
Mr. Stuckey told the Council about the parking situation at the soccer field at Dragon Park
that it has become dangenllls, and aslled lilr belp in that al'ea. Mr. Stuckey asked the Council
10 leave the money in the budget for an upgmde of that parle
Don Wilson. 31]() Slacy Lane, came lilnvanf asking lill' dali/ication ,'egarding tbe Capital
Outlay Fund of$7,~51.000.00, and yet when yon go down tllf'ollgb all the budgets, he can not
cOllie up with that amollnt. Also,:V1 r. Wilson wanted to know if the bond payment. the total

City Coun\...... 'Meeting
September 16, 1998
Page 4
Gene Anderson, Director of Finance, advised the Capital Outlay is spread out between various
funds, and said he could work up a breakdown for that, for example, a grant applications of
approximately 2.4 million dollars bad been included in the budget, but, after submitting the
budget, he does not think the city is going to get the grant; so it will be removed from the
budget. Mr. Anderson said dIe bond payments is $3,318,000.00; and does not include anything
proposed.
City Manager Malone explained dlat the proposed Certificate of Obligation Bonds is not a
part of die budget, but is part of die commentary on the budget in that different members of
the COllncil had expressed a desire for drainage and street projects, which is extremely
expensive, and it would Inke a bond issue to do these projects.
On die request of Mr. Wilson, Mr. Anderson advised dlat tllC indebtness of General Obligation
is less than five million dollars, and the Water and Sewer Fund debt is approximately thirty
million dollars.
Mr. Wilson said that the issuauce of Certificate of Obligation Bonds is expedient, and it is a
lot meaper, but it also provides an opportunity for the Council to pick and choose pet projects,
and may not be what the citizens really want. Mr. Wilson felt the people should have an
opportunity to pick and choose what they want.
Mack Ross, 3475 Reno Drive, came fonvard telling the Council tllat the City of Paris has a
very nice fire station on North Main, and he would liI{e to see the city utilize that fire station
to it's fullest by going a block north spending the money set up for dIe new fire stations by
extending Martin Luther King Dr, and by doing that, the city could better utilize the new fire
station. Mr. Ross said you could serve all the areas in that part of town plus tlle new areas on
Highway 1.95. Mr. Ross said the new fire stations could be place in next years budget.
Jackie Abobrook, Route 1, Box -117, P:lIis, Tex1ls, came fonvard sl:lting that she owns propeliy
