Discussion and possible action on the Certificate of Appropriateness #26-000007 350 8a' ST
NE Remodel — Renovation, Sergio Medrano
Mr. Medrano presented photographs of the existing conditions of the property. The house
was completely gutted inside with only things exposed as floor trusses. The siding was more
than 50% missing on the exterior. Evidence of the covering on the front porch remained, but
the front porch had been removed by a previous owner and was non-existent. Few windows
remained in the house, and the existing windows showed signs of deterioration. The
accessory shed behind the property collapsed and on the ground. His plan was to renovate
the property completely by replacing the exterior side with fiber cement board, replacing
windows, and building an addition to the rear of the property to extend the east facing wall
for additional living space inside. He will demolish and remove what is left of the accessory
building. On the south facing wall he wanted to put a sliding glass door. The driveway would
be replaced. The commission reviewed the 2024 image of the house on google to see if there
was any indication of the porch and get a general idea of what existed before it was removed.
The Commission was ready to approve the project as presented on the condition that the
applicant would return on another date with the design of the porch. However, Mr. Medrano
agreed to imitate the historic features of the porch as originally built. A motion was made by
Commissioner Coyle to approve wooden window replacements on the west and north facade,
vinyl replacements on the south and east facing fagade, add an addition as presented to the
east side of the house, use fiber cement board on the exterior, replace the driveway in kind,
add a sliding glass door to the south wall, and build a porch as closely as possible to the
original design. The motion was seconded by Chairman Turk. Motion carried 5 ayes, 0 nays.

7. Discussion and act on updates made to the Rules of Procedure for the Historic Preservation
Commission meetings.
The commission reviewed the proposed updates to the Rules of Procedure as presented by
staff. Ms. Bedford reviewed 2021 version of the rules while assembly education notebooks for
the commissioners and noticed they needed to be updated to reflect current practices. The
amendments were made to Article VII sections 1 & 2, Certificate of Appropriate process, and
was updated to align with the current COA application submission being online, using the
City of Paris permitting software. This process of submitting COA applications changed to
online in 2024. This allowed city staff to streamline all building department review and
permit processes. The recommended posting and notification requirements presented are
amended to reflect legal requirements. No action was taken. This item with proposed
changes will be placed on the April 2026 agenda for adoption.

TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem & City Council
Rose Beverly, City Manager
FROM: M.A. Smith, Public Works Director
Mike Wade, Streets Department Superintendent
SUBJECT: ANNUAL CONCRETE DEMOLITION AND CONSTRUCTION BIDS
DATE: April 27, 2026
BACKGROUND: This is the annual bid for curb/gutter, standard driveway approaches, and
reinforced concrete sidewalks to be used primarily, but not exclusively, by the Street Division,
Water Distribution, Sewer Maintenance, and Parks Divisions of the Public Works Department. If
other departments are in need of concrete work, we attempt to utilize bid pricing through this
contract as it applies. The bid tabulation sheet is attached for details of the bids.
STATUS OF ISSUE: The City of Paris Public Works Department received two sealed bids for
concrete work and would like to award the bid to the lowest responsible bidder pursuant to
Resolution 2020-052 for construction project bidding. Contract period will be from May 1, 2026
through April 30, 2027.
BUDGET: Funding is budgeted in the various Public Works Departments.
RECOMMENDATION: Award the bid to Drake General Contractors, LLC as indicated on the
attached bid tabs, in the approximate amount of $342,970.00 based on listed estimated quantities.
The actual total cost will depend on projects, which are as needed. The award of this bid will lock
in the quantity figures listed in the attached tabs. Allow the City Manager to sign and execute all
documents necessary.

TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem & City Council
Rose Beverly, City Manager
FROM: Rich Salter, Police Chief
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION EXTENDING THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION AND
MANAGEMENT OF THE MOTOR VEHICLE CRIME PREVENTION
AUTHORITY GRANT FOR FY -2027.
DATE: April 27, 2026
BACKGROUND:
For several years the Paris Police Department has benefited from the Texas Motor Vehicle Crime
Prevention Authority (MVCPA) Grant. The Texas Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority
(MVCPA) exists to empower local law enforcement agencies and communities to combat and
prevent statewide motor vehicle crime. The MVCPA is an evidence based, strategy driven, and
community -centric network to support regional taskforces, improve coordination, deploy
equipment and provide clear messaging to end motor vehicle crime.
The Authority seeks to support regional and statewide law enforcement responses to obtain best
outcomes for Texas. MVCPA fosters a statewide collaborative network to combat motor vehicle
burglary, motor vehicle theft and fraud -related motor vehicle crime. MVCPA also funds education
campaigns to inform automobile owners of methods to prevent motor vehicle burglary or theft.
MVCPA issues funding grants to law enforcement agencies (referred to as Taskforces) and
educates the public to act and use prevention techniques to fulfill its mission. MVCPA uses the
appropriated funds to provide effective coverage of the state through the cooperative network of
law enforcement groups, prosecutors, insurance industry representatives, local tax assessor -
collectors, and concerned citizens to combat motor vehicle crime through enforcement, prevention,
public information, and education initiatives
STATUS OF ISSUE:
In an effort to extend and expand the Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force, the Paris Police
Department, Lamar County Sheriff's Office and the Hopkins County Sheriffs Office will
collaborate on a full-time basis within this task force. All agencies agree to accept the responsibility
for their respective commitments and adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local laws or
regulations, as well as all grant rules and conditions.
The task force is currently staffed by one Paris Police Department detective, one Lamar County
Sheriff Detective and two Hopkins County Sheriff's Deputies who collectively aid law
enforcement agencies in a defined nine (10) county coverage area. The FY -2027 MVCPA Grant
Application will seek to increase these staffing levels and will also be open to expansion by
amendment for other interested regional law enforcement agencies. The FY -2027 Grant
Application will seek to add one Administrative Assistant / Intelligence Analyst position to the
Paris Police Department to administratively manage the grant and assist task force investigators
by providing intelligence analytical research and queries real-time when investigators are in the
field.
The Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force will adopt or assist in the investigation of any auto
theft or burglary of motor vehicle case at the request of any agency in the nine (10) County
coverage area of responsibility. The Task Force will conduct DMV68-A inspections for the
coverage area, and assist DMV offices with investigations involving Title Fraud. The Paris Police
Department requests City Council approval to make application for the MVCPA FY -2027 Grant,
and to enter into Interlocal Agreements with other participating Law Enforcement Agencies.
BUDGET: The addition of one Administrative Assistant / Intelligence Analyst position to the
Paris Police Department would (if approved) be funded 80% by the MVCPA Grant. The remaining
20% would be shared among all participating task force partners.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution.
WHEREAS, under the provisions of the Texas Transportation Code Chapter 1006 and Texas
Administrative Code Title 43, Part 3, Chapter 57, entities are eligible to receive grants from the
Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority to provide financial supportto law enforcement agencies
for economic automobile theft enforcement teams and to combat motor vehicle burglary in the
jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, the Northeast Texas Auto TheftTask Force has a coverage of 8,000 square miles
encompassing ten (10) counties in northeast Texas, responsible for investigating all auto thefts,
burglary motor vehicle, and related crimes, whether covert or overt; and
WHEREAS, the Task Force performs inspections on salvage yards, dealers, repair shops, and
scrap metal yards; and
WHEREAS, this grant program will assist the City of Paris Police Department in combatting
motor vehicle burglary for fiscal year 2027 (September 1, 2026 - August 31, 2027); and
WHEREAS, Since 1994, with the assistance of the Auto Burglary and Theft Prevention
Authority, the Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force has been in existence under this grant to
combat motor vehicle burglary and theft; and
WHEREAS, City of Paris agrees that in the event of loss or misuse of the grant funds, City of
Paris assures that the grant funds will be returned in full to the Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention
Authority.
NOW, THEREFORE,RESOLVED BY 1 OF THE CITY OF '' ' '
THAT:
Section 1. The findings set out in the preamble to this resolution are hereby in all things
approved and incorporated herein by references for all purposes.
Section 2. That the City Council of the City of Paris, Texas designates Mrs. Rose Beverly,

SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing street closures for the 903 Sunset Concert Series for 2026 and

DATE: April 27, 2026
BACKGROUND: For the last several years the Chamber of Commerce and the VCC have hosted
a series of concerts on the Plaza on each Thursday in June. The events are referred to as the 903
Sunset Concert Series. The concerts bring in both local and visiting music lovers to enjoy the
downtown and its businesses and food trucks and foster a sense of community as well as bring in
additional sales taxes. This year, the Chamber/VCC have proposed to expand on street closures
from years past. To that end, they have asked the city to approve these road closures and submit
an application/agreement to TxDOT for its approval. The proposed street closures for 2026 are as
follows:
1. North Plaza (a one block portion of US 82 between) from 8:00 a.m.-11:59 p.m. on June 4,
11, 18, and 25, 2026.

to 11:59 p.m. on June 4, 11, 18, and 25, 2026.
STATUS OF ISSUE: As part of the TxDOT application, the city is required to pass a resolution
authorizing the road closures. This is the normal procedure for any proposed closure of TxDOT
governed roadways such as for the Festival of Pumpkins, Steak Wars, and most recently, the
upcoming Art Fair.

Item No. 14
TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, and Members of the City Council
Rose Beverly, City Manager
FROM: Stephanie H. Harris, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Assignment of Economic Development Agreement between the City of Paris and
Alpha Lake, Ltd. (Paris Towne Center)
DATE: April 27, 2026
BACKGROUND: On March 2, 2022, the City entered into a Chapter 380 Economic Development
Agreement (EDA) with Alpha Lake, Ltd. Out of College Station, Texas, for the redevelopment of
the Paris Towne Center at Lamar Ave. and Loop 286. At that time, there were several vacant spaces
in the shopping center. Alpha Lake renovated the center and quickly brought in Ulta Beauty, Ross,
Big Lots (since replaced by Ivan Smith Furniture), and TJ Maxx. Alpha Lake is in the process of
selling the property to Corsair Property Company, LLC, a Texas limited liability corporation
located in Dallas, Texas and wishes to assign its rights under the EDA to the new owner. The
EDA provides for five (5) annual property tax grants (which are 50% of the M & O portion of the
city's ad velorem taxes attributable to the four spaces listed above) and three (3) annual sales tax
grants (which are equal to 50% of the sales taxes attributable to the above -referenced retailers).
The City has paid Alpha Lake the 2024 and 2025 property tax and sales tax grants leaving three
(3) property tax grants and one (1) sales tax grant remaining under the agreement. Closing on the
sale to Corsair is tentatively scheduled for 6/3/2026.
STATUS OF ISSUE: Section 7.1 of the EDA provides that Alpha Lake may not assign the
agreement without express written consent of the City. To that end, you have before you a
document granting that consent. We have been told that there was a great deal of interest in the
shopping center, and Alpha Lake had several offers, which is a testament both to their management
of the property and the retail environment of Paris.
BUDGET: N/A. The City's obligations under the EDA were set at the time it was executed.
RECOMMENDATION: Move to authorize the Mayor to execute a consent for the assignment of
the EDA from Alpha Lake, Ltd. To Corsair Property Company, LLC.

equal to 14.01% of the total M & O taxes assessed and paid on the Property. This
percentage' has been calculated by multiplying 50% by the percentage of total square
footage of the vacant vertical improvements to that of the total Property (28.02%).

receiving a Payment Request from Company for the relevant Grant Period, but in no event
before the first day of April in the years 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029.

made or caused to have been made the required improvements and the total capital
amount of said improvements. All improvements to the Property must conform to the City
of Paris' building and fire codes and the subdivision ordinance as applicable, and the
Company must meet all permitting and platting requirements, as applicable.
3.2 Annual Sales Tax Grants. (a) Subject to the Required Use and continued
satisfaction of all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the obligation of the
Company to repay the Annual Sales Tax Grants pursuant to Article VI hereof, the City
agrees to provide the Company with three (3) Annual Sales Tax Grants, each in an
amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Sales Tax Receipts attributable to the Retailers'
sales for the calendar years 2024, 2025, and 2026. Sales Tax Receipts will be determined
by the City using sales tax revenue information derived through the State of Texas as
authorized by Texas Tax Code Sec. 321.3022.
(b) Each Annual Sales Tax Grant shall be due within thirty (30) days after
receiving a Payment Request from Company for the relevant Grant Period, but in no event
before the first day of April of 2025, 2026, and 2027.
(c) Ad'ustment Notification. The Company shall promptly notify the City in
writing of any adjustments found, determined, or made by the Retailers, the State of
Texas, or by an audit that results, or will result, in either a refund or reallocation of Sales
Tax Receipts or the payment of Sales and Use Tax or involving amounts reported by the
Company as subject to this Agreement. Such notification shall also include the amount of
any such adjustment in Sales and Use Tax or Sales Tax Receipts. The company shall
notify the City in writing within ninety (90) days after receipt of notice of intent of the State
of Texas to audit the Company, its Affiliates and/or its customers. Such notification shall
also include the period of such audit or investigation.
(d) Adjustments. In the event any of the Retailers files an amended sales and
use tax return or report with the State of Texas, or if additional Sales and Use Tax is due
and owing by the Company to the State of Texas, as determined or approved by the State
of Texas, affecting Sales Tax Receipts for a previous Grant Period, then the Annual Sales
Tax Grant payment for the Grant Period immediately following such State of Texas
approved amendment shall be adjusted accordingly (i.e., up or down, depending on the
facts) provided the City has received Sales Tax Receipts attributed to such adjustment.
As a condition precedent to payment of such adjustment, the Company shall provide the
City with a copy of any such amended sales and use tax return or report or notification
from the State of Texas that additional Sales and Use Tax is due and owed by the
Retailers to the State of Texas, as determined by the State of Texas, affecting Sales Tax
Receipts for a previous Grant Period along with the Payment Request for the next Grant
Period.
(e) Refunds and Underpayments of„mGrants. In the event the State of Texas
determines that the City erroneously received Sales Tax Receipts, or that the amount of
Sales and Use Tax paid to the Company exceeds (or is less than) the correct amount of
Sales and Use Tax for a previous Grant Period, for which the Company has received an
Annual Sales Tax Grant, the Company shall, within sixty (60) days after receipt of
notification thereof from the City specifying that amount by which such Annual Sales Tax
Grant exceeded the amount to which the Company was entitled pursuant to such State
of Texas determination, adjust (up or down, depending on the facts) the amount claimed
due for the Annual Sales Tax Grant for the Grant Period immediately following such State
of Texas determination. if the Company does not adjust the amount claimed due for the
Annual Sales Tax Grant payment for the Grant Period immediately following such State
of Texas determination, the City may, at its option, adjust the Annual Sales Tax for the
Grant Period immediately following the State of Texas determination. As a condition
precedent to payment of such refund, the City shall provide the Company with a copy of
such determination by the State of Texas. The provisions of this Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
(f) Grant Payment Termination Suspension. This payment of Annual Sales
Tax Grants shall terminate on the effective date of determination by the State of Texas or
other appropriate agency or court of competent jurisdiction that the Leased Premises are
not a place of business resulting in Sales and Use Taxes being due the City from the sale
of Taxable Items by the Retailers at the Leased Premises. In the event the State of Texas
seeks to invalidate the Leased Premises as a place of business where Sales and Use
Tax was properly remitted to the State of Texas (the "Comptroller Challenge"), the
payment of Annual Sales Tax Grants by the City hereunder shall be suspended until such
Comptroller Challenge is resolved in whole favorably to the City. In such event, the
Company shall not be required to return or refund Annual Sales Tax Grants previously
received from the City provided the Company is actively defending against and/or
contesting the Comptroller Challenge and the Company promptly informs the City in
writing of the Company's actions and with copies of all documents and information related
thereto. In the event the Comptroller Challenge is not resolved favorably to the City and/or
in the event the State of Texas determines that the Leased Premises are not a place of
business where the Sales and Use Tax was properly remitted to the State of Texas, and
Sales and Use Tax Receipts previously paid or remitted to the City relating to the Leased
Premises are reversed and required to be repaid to the State of Texas, then the obligation
to pay the Annual Sales Tax Grants shall terminate and the Company shall refund all
Annual Grants received by the Company from the City that relate to the Comptroller
Challenge, which refund shall be paid to the City within forty-five (45) days of the date
that the Comptroller Challenge require the City to repay Sales and Use Tax Receipts.

Item No. 15
TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem, and City Council
Rose Beverly, City Manager
FROM: Steve Marriott, Finance Director
SUBJECT: City of Paris Tax Note Series, 2026
DATE: April 27, 2026
BACKGROUND: The proposed tax note will fund two critical projects. The first is the
replacement of the Police Department roof. The overall condition of the roof is a significant
concern, and staff has been aware of the need for replacement for some time. Immediate action is
necessary, as the most compromised area is located above the evidence storage area. A structural
failure in this location would have catastrophic consequences for police department operations.
Second, the tax note will fund the purchase of a new heavy rescue fire truck. This will allow us to
remain aligned with the Fire Department's Capital Improvement Plan. The truck will have an
estimated delivery timeline of approximately four years and will replace a unit that is over 15 years
old. This unit operates countywide and has already required significant investment, including a
new engine ($ 25, 000) and two transmission replacements ($ 15, 000 each). In addition, more than
$ 10, 000 was spent on general repairs last year alone. As our fleet continues to age, maintenance
costs increase while reliability declines
STATUS OF ISSUE: The following items are to be funded with these tax notes:
Replacement of Police Department roof. $930,000 (including a 10% contingency)
New Heavy Rescue Fire truck: $1,400,000
Total cost $2,330,000 (Additional legal and financial fees will
be included)
BUDGET: Currently, the City's I&S tax rate is $ 0. 1650. The City has built up an adequate debt
service reserve to allow for payment of these tax notes without increasing the I&S tax rate initially.
RECOMMENDATION: For Council to approve the City of Paris, Texas, Tax Notes, Series 2026
Ordinance in order to authorize the issuance of tax notes to purchase the above -referenced items.
ORDINANCE NO. 2026 -
ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF CITY OF PARIS,

Ordinance shall be delivered to each Paying Agent/Registrar.

be entitled to any security or benefit of this Ordinance unless and until there appears thereon the
Paying Agent/Registrar's Authentication Certificate substantially in the form provided in this
Ordinance, duly authenticated by manual execution of the Paying Agent/Registrar. It shall not be
required that the same authorized representative of the Paying Agent/Registrar sign the Paying
Agent/Registrar's Authentication Certificate on all of the Notes. In lieu of the executed Paying
Agent/Registrar's Authentication Certificate described above, the initial Note delivered on the
Delivery Date (as shown in the Form of Note) shall have attached thereto the Comptroller's
Registration Certificate substantially in the form provided in this Ordinance, executed by the

of registering transfers with respect to such Note, and for all other purposes whatsoever. The
Paying Agent/Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on the Notes only to or upon the order

of and interest on the Notes to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a
Registered Owner, as shown in the Registration Books, shall receive a Note evidencing the
obligation of the City to make payments of principal and interest pursuant to this Ordinance. Upon

determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions in
this Ordinance with respect to interest checks being mailed to the Registered Owner at the close
of business on the Record Date, the words "Cede & Co." in this Ordinance shall refer to such new
nominee of DTC. The previous execution and delivery of the Blanket Issuer Letter of
Representations with respect to obligations of the City is hereby ratified and confirmed; and the
provisions thereof shall be fully applicable to the Notes.

Successor Securities Deosito� Transfers Outside
the event that the City determines that DTC is incapable of discharging its responsibilities
described herein and in the representations letter of the City to DTC or that it is in the best interest

(i) appoint a successor securities depository, qualified to act as such under Section 17A of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, notify DTC and DTC Participants of the
appointment of such successor securities depository and transfer one or more separate Notes to
such successor securities depository or (ii) notify DTC and DTC Participants of the availability
through DTC of Notes and transfer one or more separate certificated Notes to DTC Participants
having Notes credited to their DTC accounts. In such event, the Notes shall no longer be restricted
to being registered in the Registration Books in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, but
may be registered in the name of the successor securities depository, or its nominee, or in whatever
name or names Registered Owners transferring or exchanging Notes shall designate, in accordance
with the provisions of this Ordinance.
(i) Payments to CedeIT& Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to
the contrary, so long as any Note is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all
payments with respect to principal of and interest on such Note and all notices with respect to such
Note shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the representations letter of
the City to DTC.

for the initial Note, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cancel the initial Note and deliver to DTC on
behalf of the Purchaser one registered definitive Note for each year of maturity of the Notes, in the
aggregate principal amount of all of the Notes for such maturity.
Section 4. FORM OF NOTES. The form of the Notes, including the form of Paying
Agent/Registrar's Authentication Note, the form of Assignment and the form of Registration Note
of the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas to be attached to the Notes initially
E
issued and delivered pursuant to this Ordinance, shall be substantially in the form provided in
Exhibit A, with such appropriate variations, omissions or insertions as are permitted or required
by this Ordinance. Exhibit A in incorporated in this Ordinance for all purposes.
Section 5. INTEREST AND SINKING FUND.
(a) A special "Interest and Sinking Fund" is hereby created and shall be established
and maintained by the City as a separate fund or account and the funds therein shall be deposited
into and held at an official depository bank of said City. Said Interest and Sinking Fund shall be
kept separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of said City, and shall be used only for
paying the interest on and principal of said Notes. Any amounts received from the sale of the
Notes as accrued interest shall be deposited upon receipt to the Interest and Sinking Fund, and all
ad valorem taxes levied and collected for and on account of said Notes shall be deposited, as
collected, to the credit of said Interest and Sinking Fund. During each year while any of said Notes
are outstanding and unpaid, the governing body of said City shall compute and ascertain a rate and
amount of ad valorem tax that will be sufficient to raise and produce the money required to pay
the interest on said Notes as such interest comes due, and to provide and maintain a sinking fund
adequate to pay the principal of said Notes as such principal matures (but never less than 2% of
the original amount of said Notes as a sinking fund each year); and said tax shall be based on the
latest approved tax rolls of said City, with full allowances being made for tax delinquencies and
the cost of tax collection. Said rate and amount of ad valorem tax is hereby levied, and is hereby
ordered to be levied, against all taxable property in said City, for each year while any of said Notes
are outstanding and unpaid, and said tax shall be assessed and collected each such year and
deposited to the credit of the aforesaid Interest and Sinking Fund. Said ad valorem taxes sufficient
to provide for the payment of the interest on and principal of said Notes, as such interest comes
due and such principal matures, are hereby pledged for such payment, within the limit prescribed
by law.
(b) Chapter 1208, Texas Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Notes and
the pledge of the taxes and limited Surplus Revenues granted by the City under this Section, and
is therefore valid, effective, and perfected. Should Texas law be amended at any time while the
Notes are outstanding and unpaid, the result of such amendment being that the pledge of the taxes
and limited Surplus Revenues granted by the City under this Section is to be subject to the filing
requirements of Chapter 9, Texas Business and Commerce Code, in order to preserve to the
registered owners of the Notes a security interest in said pledge, the City agrees to take such
measures as it determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas law to comply with the
applicable provisions of Chapter 9, Texas Business and Commerce Code and enable a filing of a
security interest in said pledge to occur.

any) are used for any "private business use," as defined in section 141(b)(6) of the Code
or, if more than 10 percent of the proceeds or the projects financed therewith are so used,
such amounts, whether or not received by the City, with respect to such private business

indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than 10 percent of the debt service
on the Notes, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of the Code;

described in subsection (1) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Notes or the
projects financed therewith (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the
amount in excess of 5 percent is used for a "private business use" which is "related" and
not "disproportionate," within the meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the
governmental use;
(3) to take any action to assure that no amount which is greater than the lesser
of $5,000,000, or 5 percent of the proceeds of the Notes (less amounts deposited into a
reserve fund, if any) is directly or indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than
state or local governmental units, in contravention of section 141(c) of the Code;
(4) to refrain from taking any action which would otherwise result in the Notes
being treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the Code;

"federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code;
E

meaning of section 1.148 1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and
(C) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or
replacement fund to the extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the
proceeds of the Notes;
(7) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Notes or amounts treated
as proceeds of the Notes, as may be necessary, so that the Notes do not otherwise
contravene the requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage);
(8) to refrain from using the proceeds of the Notes or proceeds of any prior
bonds to pay debt service on another issue more than 90 days after the date of issue of the
Notes in contravention of the requirements of section 149(d) of the Code (relating to
advance refundings);

period (beginning on the Delivery Date) an amount that is at least equal to 90 percent of
the "Excess Earnings," within the meaning of section 148(f) of the Code and to pay to the
United States of America, not later than 60 days after the Notes have been paid in full, 100
percent of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under section
148(f) of the Code; and

Notes in contravention of the requirements of section 149(g) of the Code (relating to hedge
bonds).

"Rebate Fund" is hereby established by the City for the sole benefit of the United States of

Section 14. METHOD OF AMENDMENT. The City hereby reserves the right to amend
this Ordinance subject to the following terms and conditions, to wit:
(a) The City may from time to time, without the consent of any holder, except as
otherwise required by paragraph (b) below, amend or supplement this Ordinance in order to (i) cure
any ambiguity, defect or omission in this Ordinance that does not materially adversely affect the
interests of the holders, (ii) grant additional rights or security for the benefit of the holders, (iii) add

majority of the principal amount of then outstanding Notes that are the subject of a proposed
amendment shall have the right from time to time to approve any amendment hereto that may be
deemed necessary or desirable by the City; provided, however, that without the consent of 100%
of the holders in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, nothing herein
contained shall permit or be construed to permit amendment of the terms and conditions of this
Ordinance or in any of the Notes so as to: (i) make any change in the maturity of any of the
outstanding Notes; (ii) reduce the rate of interest borne by any of the outstanding Notes; (iii) reduce
the amount of the principal payable on any outstanding Notes; (iv) modify the terms of payment

Section, this Ordinance shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance with such
amendatory Ordinance, and the respective rights, duties and obligations of the City and all holders
of such affected Notes shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced, subject in all
respects to such amendment.
(f) Any consent given by the Registered Owner of a Note pursuant to the provisions
of this Section shall be irrevocable for a period of six months from the date of such consent and
shall be conclusive and binding upon all future Registered Owners of the same Note during such
period. Such consent may be revoked at any time after six months from the date of said consent
by the Registered Owner who gave such consent, or by a successor in title, by filing notice with
the City, but such revocation shall not be effective if the Registered Owners of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the affected Notes then outstanding, have, prior to the attempted
revocation, consented to and approved the amendment.

the registration of the ownership of such Notes on the registration books kept by the Paying

the finance and project plans and to assist in making revenue projections for the TIRZ.
STATUS OF ISSUE: To that end, the developer has agreed to the terms of the Professional

General Fund Highlights for the Month of March
1. Overall Revenue was $21,808,557 or 61% of the annual Budget.
2. Property Tax Revenue is $8,565,803, 4% more than previous year. Majority of Property
Tax Revenue is received between December and February each year.
3. Sales Tax revenue is more than last year by $301,627 or 5%; however, January, February,
and March collections were less than last year. Continue to be optimistically cautious as
sales tax can be volatile and a decrease was anticipated for the 2026 budget.
4. Hotel Occupancy tax revenue has decreased by $145,816 or 23% from 2025 fiscal year.
Fluctuation in the carrying balance is due to the allocation to the Chamber of Commerce,
a hotelier rebate, and a portion that covers the debt issued to pay for the Civic Center.
5. EMS Fees are down $538,442 or 18% compared to last year. EMS collections are down
due to the fourth ambulance for transfers not in service due to staff shortages.
6. Interest revenue is up by $24,148 or 6% from last year. The Fed Fund rates decreased 25
basis points at the end of October with an additional 25 basis points reduction in
December. One to two more rates cuts were anticipated in 2026, but due to the Middle
East conflict, no rate cuts are expected through the remainder of 2026 which should
stabilize interest revenue for fiscal year 2026.
7. The year-to-date expenditures in the General fund are $16,563,090 or 44% of budget for
the 2026 fiscal year. In comparison to last year, the overall 2026 fiscal year expenditures
have increased by $696,134. Majority of the increase is attributable to the following:
➢ Fiscal year 2026 includes a 2% cost of living adjustment for all full-time positions.
➢ One-time technology infrastructure renewals recorded in November 2025.
➢ Stipends for EMS, Fire, Public Works, and Dispatch personnel.

Item No. 19
TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, and Members of the City Council
Rose Beverly, City Manager
FROM: Stephanie H. Harris, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Draft ordinance regulating donation drop boxes
DATE: April 27, 2026
BACKGROUND: It is not possible to drive the streets of Paris without noticing a proliferation of
donation drop boxes. At best, such boxes can be aesthetically unpleasing even when kept tidy; at
worst, when they are allowed to overflow, or or when they are located in high traffic areas, they
can pose immediate threats to public health and safety. Many cities regulate where such boxes can
be placed, the materials they must be constructed of, and how they must be maintained for these
reasons. The federal courts have held that because solicitations for donations, even when in the
form of a donation box, are "speech," regulations on such solicitations may not infringe on the
solicitor's 1St Amendment rights. Consequently, it is important that any such regulations are
carefully drafted.
STATUS OF ISSUE: On April 13th, I presented a draft ordinance modelled on the ordinance in
effect in Arlington, Texas. Arlington's ordinance has the distinct advantage of having been
recently vetted in the courts. The ordinance requires each donation box to have a permit, and it
regulates:
• The location of boxes, which are limited to industrial and commercial zoning districts,
and setbacks so that boxes don't impede traffic.
• Signage, construction materials, size, and appearance of boxes.
The ordinance does not address the "content" of the boxes, by which I mean, it is completely
neutral as to who may operate such boxes so long as they have followed the procedural, location,
and physical requirements of the ordinance. These procedural, location, and physical requirements
are what the courts call "time, place, and manner" regulations, and they are permissible whereas
content based restrictions are not. Because the Arlington ordinance regulates only the "time, place,
and manner" of operating donation boxes and is neutral as to the content of the solicitation, the 5'
Circuit Court of Appeals found that it passes Constitutional muster. The Supreme Court has
declined to hear the case, so the 5'11 Circuit opinion, delivered in 2024, stands.
Here is what is in the ordinance before you:
• Every donation box in the city must have a permit, and the permit decal must be displayed
on the box. Unpermitted boxes are subject to impoundment by the city, and if unclaimed
after 10 days will be deemed to be abandoned property subject to sale or disposal by the
city.
• Donation boxes will only be allowed in the Heavy Industrial (HI), Light Industrial (LI),
and Commercial zoning districts. Only one box, with some minor exceptions, may be
placed on a single lot.
• Permit requirements include written consent of the property owner for placement of the
box; keeping the area within 25 feet of the box clean and free of debris or overflowing
donated materials; boxes must be constructed of metal; boxes shall be a single color,
allowing for corporate logos and trade dress color schemes, with no fluorescent colors
permitted; boxes must be at least 40 feet from street rights-of-way (unless there is an
existing landscaping setback) and may not be permitted in within the row of parking
adjacent to street right -of way; contact information and a notice to donors that all donations
must fit inside the box must be legible on the front of the box; and boxes may not exceed
120 cubic feet in size.
Example from City or Arlington website, included here to give an idea of size and materials. It doesn't appear
to be compliant with the setback requirement, but it's difficult to tell if it's adjacent to a street or to a parking
lot.
• Application requirements, which include annual application and permit fees. Permits
expire 1 year from their issuance. Applicants must provide the GPS location of the
proposed box.
• Each box must have a separate permit regardless of who owns it, and each permit
application requires a separate fee.
• Maintenance and upkeep requirements include joint and several liability of the owner of
the box and the property owner for upkeep and removal of donations, meaning the
landowner may be fined as well as the owner of.
• Permits may be revoked if the owner receives a citation under the ordinance in the
preceding 12 -month period; if the owner knowingly made false statements on the
application; or has otherwise become disqualified to have a permit. There is an appeals
process (first to the administrator, and then to the city manager or her designee) for denial
or revocation of permits. In the case of revocation, if the owner doesn't remove the box
within 10 days, the city can impound it. After revocation, the owner will not be eligible for
another permit for one year from the date of revocation.
• Violations of the ordinance are Class C misdemeanors punishable by a fine of up to
$500.00, and each day the violation continues is a separate offense. The State does not have
to prove any culpable mental state. This manner of enforcement is in addition to the
assessment of impoundment and storage fees, and to any other manner of enforcement such
as remedies obtained through the Building and Standards Commission.
• The fee appendix is amended to provide the following fees: Permit fee --$200.00;
impoundment fee --$200.00; storage fee --$20.00 per day. These are the fees that Arlington
charges. They seem reasonable.
It's important to remember that all of these requirements have been blessed by the 5th Circuit, and
that blessing has been left to stand by the Supreme Court. The primary attribute is that the
regulations don't address content (in this case, they don't impermissibly discriminate between
charitable and non -charitable organizations) and that the issues they do address are limited to time
(a one-year permit), place (zoning, setback, and other location specifics), and manner
(maintenance, upkeep, and appearance of boxes). Within this general framework, you may want
to consider some tweaks to the individual requirements, but again, the framework is sound.
Based on direction from the City Council at the 4/13 meeting, I have provided an effective
date of 6/1/2026 to give staff an opportunity to gear up to be able to accept permit
applications.
BUDGET: There may be some budgetary impact related to staff time and labor in processing and
enforcement, but hopefully, these would be offset by the required fees.
RECOMMENDATION: Move to approve the attached ordinance regulating donation drop boxes
in the City.

MemorandumAgenda Item 20
TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and City Council
Rose Beverly, City Manager
FROM: Duke McGee, MCP Building Official
SUBJECT: Amendment to Appendix A, Section A3.002 — Development and General Construction and
Planning Permit Fees
DATE: 4/27/2026
BACKGROUND
Appendix A of the City of Paris Code of Ordinances establishes the City's official fee schedule for permits,
development review, construction activities, and related municipal services. The fee schedule is reviewed each
year to ensure that fees remain aligned with the actual costs of providing services and that the cost of
development is borne primarily by those requesting development services rather than by the City's taxpayers.
The fee schedule was last amended by the City Council on April 22, 2024. Since that time, staff has conducted
its annual evaluation of operational costs, development activity trends, staff time associated with plan review
and inspections, and cost -recovery needs across the Building, Engineering, Fire Marshal, and Planning
Departments.
STATUS OF ISSUE
Based on this review, staff has identified a series of targeted adjustments to permit, plan review, inspection, and
administrative fees. These adjustments are intended to:
• Reflect the true cost of service delivery
• Improve clarity and consistency across permit types
• Modernize fees for emerging technologies (such as alternative energy systems and battery storage)
• Ensure that recurring inspections and high -frequency review processes are appropriately supported
• Maintain fairness to existing residents by placing development costs on the development community
rather than the general tax base
All proposed fee amendments are reflected in Exhibit A of the ordinance (Ordinance - 2026 Fee Schedule A).
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
The recommended amendments include updates in the following categories:
1. Building Department Fees
• Adjustments to residential and commercial permit fees to align with inspection workload and staff
time.
• Updated plan review fees tied to project value or square footage.
• New or revised fees for solar installations, battery storage, HVAC work, accessory buildings, and EV
charging systems.
• Reorganization of redundant fees and clarification where multiple inspections are required.
2. Engineering Department Fees
• Hourly rates updated for engineering review and inspection services.
• New fees for right-of-way abandonment, third -party reviews, TIA-related work, and
grading/clearing activities.
3. Fire Marshal and Fire Department Fees
• None at this time
4. Planning & Zoning Fees
• None at this time
5. Public Works Tap Fees
• None at this time
6. Miscellaneous Fees
• Adjustments to after-hours inspections, reinspection fees, stormwater inspections, plan resubmittal
reviews, and work -without -permit penalties.
• New annual fees for grease traps and stormwater detention/retention facilities.
These revisions are necessary to ensure:
• Cost recovery: Fees more accurately reflect the time, labor, and expertise required for plan reviews,
inspections, enforcement, and infrastructure review.
• Equity: Shifts development -related costs away from general taxpayers.
• Sustainability: Supports adequate staffing, technology, training, and service levels.
• Compliance: Aligns fees with updated building codes, engineering standards, and evolving
construction practices.
• Efficiency: Reduces permitting bottlenecks by supporting the staff time needed for timely and
accurate review.

The proposed changes are expected to:
• Improve cost recovery for development -related services;
• Reduce the burden on the City's General Fund by ensuring that development activities are funded by
those who benefit from them;
• Provide a more predictable and proportional fee structure for applicants.
No negative fiscal impact is anticipated.
City staff reviewed the proposed changes internally across all affected departments. Fee updates were also
informed by:
• Comparisons to similar Texas municipalities
• Application trends and permitting data
• Industry inquiries regarding clarity, consistency, and predictability
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance amending Appendix A, Section A3.002, adopting the revis
development, planning, and construction permit fees set forth in Exhibit A. I
rhe proposed adjustments support operational cost recovery, improve fairness in clevelopment-relat
expenses, and align fee structures with City goals and industry standards. I

Memorandum
Agenda Item 21
TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and City Council
Rose Beverly, City Manager
FROM: Duke McGee, MCP Building Official
SUBJECT: Adoption of the 2024 International Code Council (ICC) Codes, 2023 National Electrical Code, and
City of Paris Local Amendments
DATE: April 27, 2026
BACKGROUND
In 2017, the City of Paris replaced the 2006 ICC codes with the 2015 Editions of the International Building Code
(IBC), International Residential Code (IRC), International Plumbing Code (IPC), International Mechanical Code
(IMC), International Existing Building Code (IEBC), International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), and the 2014 National
Electrical Code (NEC). These collectively formed the City's enforceable set of construction regulations governing
permitting, inspections, life -safety provisions, and minimum standards for safeguarding life and property.
The City updated these codes again with the adoption of the 2021 ICC code cycle, responding to
recommendations from the Insurance Services Office (ISO) / Verisk Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule
(BCEGS). ISO evaluates jurisdictional effectiveness in plan review, permitting, inspections, and enforcement.
Ratings range from 1 (exemplary) to 10 (deficient). In 2016, the City received a BCEGS score of 9 (Res) and 9
(Com). After modernizing to the 2021 ICC codes, the City improved to 6 (Res) and 6 (Com) during the 2021
reevaluation.
As of 2025, the City continues to enforce the 2021 ICC codes. These codes are approaching the end of their
recommended five-year currency window used by ISO/Verisk when evaluating jurisdictions. With the next BCEGS
reevaluation scheduled for 2026, failure to remain current with code adoption could negatively impact the City's
classification—leading to increased insurance premiums for residents and businesses, reduced enforcement
credibility, and diminished alignment with industry standards.
Adopting the 2024 ICC Codes ensures the City maintains best practices in building safety, aligns with national
standards, and remains competitive in BCEGS scoring. These codes incorporate updated engineering principles,
new technologies, modern life -safety standards, and improved clarity across all building disciplines.
STATUS OF ISSUE
The 2024 ICC code cycle is now widely adopted—or in the process of adoption—by municipalities, counties, and
regulatory agencies across Texas. Updating to the 2024 ICC codes will align the City of Paris with:
• Current Texas building regulations and industry norms;
• Modern engineering, life -safety, and fire protection standards;
• Regional consistency in code enforcement and interpretation;
• ICC certification requirements for building officials and inspectors;
• Expectations for ISO/Verisk grading and insurance industry compliance.
Consistent with past practice, Texas jurisdictions are permitted to adopt local amendments to tailor code
requirements to the needs of their communities. The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG)
publishes recommended amendments for each ICC code edition, widely used across the state to enhance
enforcement consistency and remove provisions inappropriate for regional construction conditions.
City staff have thoroughly reviewed the 2024 ICC codes, the NCTCOG Recommended Amendments, and
additional adjustments needed to address local climate, construction trends, and public safety needs. These
amendments have been compiled into Exhibit A, divided into Attachments A through I to match each adopted
code. This structure improves clarity for codification and future code updates.
As part of this process, staff engaged local contractors, builders, developers, design professionals, and industry
stakeholders to discuss the changes in the 2024 code cycle and their practical application. Stakeholder feedback
contributed to the refinement of the City's proposed amendments to ensure they remain practical, enforceable,
and consistent with industry capabilities..
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact is associated with the adoption of the 2024 ICC codes. Training, updated codebooks, and
resource materials are included in the Building Department's FY 2024-2025 budget.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Public hearings were conducted in accordance with state law and the City Charter. Feedback from residents,
contractors, property owners, and stakeholders was incorporated into the final draft.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
To protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the City of Paris and its citizens, staff recommends approval
of the adoption of the:
2024 International Building Code (IBC)
• 2024 International Code Councils Performance Code (ICCPC)
2024 International Residential Code (IRC)
• 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC)
• 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC)
• 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC)
• 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC)
• 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) (the State has already adopted this and all licensed electricians must
follow this edition of the NEC)
Including all local amendments, appendices, exceptions, and technical provisions identified in Exhibit A.

§ 4.02.124. Cross -connection control program.
(a) Definitions.
290 Rules. The TCEQ's rules and regulations for public water systems, which appear in title
30, Texas Administrative Code, chapter 290.
Auxiliary water supply. Any water supply, on or available, to the premises other than the
purveyor's approved public potable water supply.
Backflow preventer. A device or means designed to prevent backflow or backsiphonage. Most
commonly categorized as air gap, reduced pressure principle device, double check valve
assembly, pressure vacuum breaker, atmospheric vacuum breaker, hose bibb vacuum
breaker, residential dual check, double check with intermediate atmospheric vent, and
barometric loop.
(1) Air gap. — A physical separation sufficient to prevent backflow between the
free-flowing discharge end of the potable water system and any other system.
Physically defined as a distance equal to twice the diameter of the supply side
pipe diameter but never less than one (1) inch.
(2) Atmospheric vacuum breaker. — A device which prevents backsiphonage by
creating an atmospheric vent when there is either a negative pressure or
subatmospheric pressure in a water system.
(3) Barometric loop. — A fabricated piping arrangement rising at least thirty-five
(35) feet at its topmost point above the highest fixture it supplies. It is utilized
in water supply systems to protect against backsiphonage.
(4) Double check valve assembly, — An assembly of two (2) independently
operating spring loaded check valves with tightly closing shut off valves on
each side of the check valves, plus properly located test cocks for the testing
of each check valve.
(5) Double check valve with intermediate atmospheric vent. — A device having two
(2) spring loaded check valves separated by an atmospheric vent chamber.
(6) Hose bibb vacuum breaker. — A device which is permanently attached to a
hose bibb and which acts as an atmospheric vacuum breaker.
(7) Pressure vacuum breaker. — A device containing one or two independently
operated spring loaded check valves and an independently operated spring
loaded air inlet valve located on the discharge side of the check or checks.
Device includes tightly closing shut-off valves on each side of the check valves
and properly located test cocks for the testing of the check valve(s).
(8) Reduced Dressure principle backflow Preventer. — An assembly consisting of
two (2) independently operating approved check valves with an automatically
operating differential relief valve located between the two (2) check valves,
tightly closing shut-off valves on each side of the check valves plus properly
located test cocks for the testing of the check valves and the relief valve.
(9) Residential dual check. — An assembly of two (2) spring loaded,
independentlyoperating check valves without tightly closing shut-off valves
and test cocks. Generally employed immediately downstream of the water
meter to act as a containment device.
Backflow. Any unwanted flow of used or nonpotable water, or other substances from any
domestic, industrial, or institutional piping system back into the potable water
distribution system.
Backpressure. Pressure that can cause backflow to occur when a potable system is connected
to a nonpotable supply operating under a higher pressure than the distribution system
by means of a pump, boiler, elevation difference, air or steam pressure, or other means.
Backsi honagems The flow of water or other liquids, mixtures or substances into the
distribution pipes of a potable water supply system from any source other than its
intended source caused by the sudden reduction of pressure in the potable water supply
system.
Buildin safet de artment. The building safety department has the duty and power to
enforce all ordinances and laws regulating construction on private property by providing
services such as permit issuance, plan examination and inspection. The mission of the
building safety department is to protect the lives and safety of the residents and visitors
of the City of Paris, preserve quality of life and contribute to economic development and
viability of the community.
Com liance engine. The compliance engine is a web -based service used by the City of Paris
to track and maintain code compliance, reduce false alarm activity, and provide safer
communities through third -party inspection reporting and maintenance.
Cross -connection. A point in a plumbing system where it is possible for a nonpotable
substance to come into contact with the potable drinking water supply. Any actual or
potential connection between the public water supply and a source of contamination or
pollution.
Manual M14. The American Water Works Association's Recommended Practice for Backflow
Prevention and Cross -Connection Control, current edition.
TCEQ. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
Water purveyor. The water purveyor has the responsibility to supply potable water to the
city's customers and has the authority to take or cause to be taken the necessary
measures to ensure the public drinking water distribution system is protected from any
actual or potential backflow hazards.
Water service entrance. That point in the owner's water system beyond the sanitary control
of the water purveyor; generally considered to be the outlet end of the water meter and
always before any unprotected branch.
(b) Purpose. Within distribution systems there exist points called cross -connections where
nonpotable water can be connected to potable sources. These cross -connections can
provide a pathway for backflow of nonpotable water into potable sources. Backflow can
occur either because of reduced pressure in the distribution system (termed
backsiphonage) or the presence of increased pressure from a nonpotable source
(termed backpressure). Backsiphonage may be caused by a variety of circumstances,
such as main breaks, flushing,
pump failure, or emergency firefighting water drawdown. Backpressure may occur when
heating/cooling, waste disposal, or industrial manufacturing systems are connected to
potable supplies and the pressure in the external system exceeds the pressure in the
distribution system. Both situations act to change the direction of water, which normally
flows from the distribution system to the customer, so that nonpotable and potentially
contaminated water from industrial, commercial, or residential sites flows back into the
distribution system through a cross -connection. During incidents of backflow, these
chemical and biological contaminants have caused illness and deaths, with
contamination affecting a number of service connections. In order to protect the life,
health and well-being of the citizens of and visitors to the city the following cross -
connection control program has been established.
(c) General.
(1) No water -service connection shall be made to any establishment where a potential
or actual contamination hazard exists unless the water supply is protected in
accordance with the 290 Rules and this article. No water -service connection shall
be made without a release authorization from the building safety department, and
as directed by the building official or plumbing inspector, the water purveyor shall
discontinue water service if a required air gap or backflow prevention assembly is
not installed, maintained, and tested in accordance with the 290 Rules and this
article.
(2) All residences, building, structures or facilities that use an auxiliary water supply,
such as a private well, a rainwater -harvesting system, or pump water directly from
any impounded water source or any water supply other than potable water
supplied by the city distribution system, must install an RPZ at the meter connection
or provide an air gap.
(3) No backflow protection at the water service meter is required where an adequate
internal cross -connection control program is in place provided that the cross -
connection control program is documented by a state licensed master plumber or
water -supply -protection specialists.
(d) Re urements
(1) On new installations, the building safety department will review owner provided
plans, which shall be completed by a professional engineer or licensed master
plumber. Upon approval of plans the building safety department will issue a permit,
and perform inspections. In any case, a minimum of a dual check valve will be
required in any new residential construction. Before plumbing final will be
approved, device shall be tested by an approved third -party backflow tester and
register with the compliance engine.
(2) For premises existing prior to the start of this program, the building safety
department will perform evaluations and inspections of plans and/or premises and
inform the owner by letter of any corrective action deemed necessary, the method
of achieving the correction, and the time allowed for the correction to be made.
Ordinarily, ninety (90) days will be allowed, however, this time period may be
shortened depending upon the degree of hazard involved and the history of the
device(s) in question.
(3) The building safety department will not allow any cross -connection to remain
unless it is protected by an approved backflow preventer device for which a permit
has been issued and the device registered with The compliance engine, the city's
electronic reporting system, and regularly tested to insure satisfactory operation.
(4) The building safety department shall inform the owner by letter, of any failure to
comply, by the time of the first re -inspection. The building safety department will
allow an additional fifteen (15) days for the correction. In the event the owner fails
to comply with the necessary correction by the time of the second reinspection, the
building safety department will inform the owner by letter, that the water service
to the owner's premises will be terminated within a period not to exceed five (5)
days. In the event that the owner informs the building safety department of
extenuating circumstances as to why the correction has not been made, a time
extension may be granted by the department but in no case will exceed an
additional thirty (30) days.
(5) If the water purveyor or plumbing inspector determines at any time that a serious
threat to the public health exists, the water service will be terminated immediately.
(6) The building safety department shall have on file, a list of private contractors who
are certified backflow device testers. All charges for these tests will be paid by the
owner of the building or property.
(e) Owner res onsibilit
(1) The property owner shall be responsible for the elimination or protection of all
cross -connections on his or her premises.
(2) The owner, after having been informed by a letter from the building safety
department, shall at his expense, install, maintain, and test, or have tested, any and
all backflow preventers on his premises.
(3) The owner shall correct any malfunction of the backflow preventer which is revealed
by periodic testing.
(4) The owner shall inform the building safety department of any proposed or modified
cross -connections and also any existing cross connections of which the owner is
aware but may not have been found by the building safety department.
(5) The owner shall not install a bypass around any backflow preventer unless there is
a backflow preventer of the same type on the bypass. Owners who cannot shut
down operation for testing of the device(s) must supply additional devices
necessary to allow testing to take place.
(6) The owner shall install backflow preventers in a manner approved by the department.
(7) The owner shall install only approved backflow preventers.
(8) Any owner having a private well, or other private water source, must have a permit
(issued by the city) if the well or source is cross -connected to the city potable water
distribution system. Permission to cross -connect may be denied by the water
purveyor, or designated representative.
(9) The owner may be required to install a backflow preventer at the service entrance
if a private water source is maintained, even if it is not cross -connected to the city's
system.
(10) In the event the owner installs plumbing to provide potable water for domestic
purposes which is on the supply side of the backflow preventer, such plumbing must
have its own backflow preventer installed.
(11) The owner shall be responsible for the payment of all fees for permits, annual or
semi-annual device testing, retesting in the case that the device fails to operate
correctly, and second re -inspections for noncompliance.
IMMMIFIN♦, - I - M1 - 63t
(1) All backflow prevention assemblies must be tested upon installation in accordance
