Tony Williams informed Council that this Ordinance defines bulky waste and addresses bulky waste that is in excess of two cubic yards. A customer who has an item in excess of two cubic yards will be charged an additional $20.00 per cubic yard should they want the City to pick up the item. Tony said he is aware that there is a number of rent houses. He further stated that the City will work with the landlords when an eviction takes place, if the landlord will inform the City of such action. Council Member Manning said the Ordinance does not address the tire problem or address brush pick-up. Tony told Council brush is billed separately. Tony said the Regular City Council Meeting February 13, 2006 Page 4 Ordinance prohibits bulk items that cannot be put into a Type I Landfill, such as batteries and tires. Tony recommended that if Council wants the City to be involved in handling those types of items, that they should be addressed separately and charged accordingly. He said it was not appropriate to handle those items as residential refuge, because it was against the law for those items to go into landfills. Council Member Wilson expressed concern that there would be an increase of old tires on property, as well as dumping of same in the county. Council Member Manning said he did not want that. Mayor Fendley asked Council if they wanted Tony to bring something back to Council with regard to the handling of tires. The Council answered in the affirmative. A Motion to approve this item was made by Council Member Ray and seconded by Council Member Wilson. Motion carried, 5 ayes - 0 nays. C.

Tony explained this item was on the Agenda based upon a petition for disannexation. Randall Lewis spoke in support of this item. He told Council that the property was located on 82 East. He said it was on the border between Reno and Paris. He and his brothers own the piece of property, which is approximately twenty-five acres. Tony said it was his understanding that sewer and water had to be provided by the City of Reno and could not be provided by the City of Paris. Mr. Lewis said that was correct. Shawn Napier also said that was his understanding. Mr. Lewis told Council that they had previously been approached by some of the Pine Valley developers about some of the property for development. In order for this to happen, they have to be annexed into the City of Reno. Tony further explained that about three years ago, there had been some litigation between the City of Paris and the Regular City Council Meeting February 13, 2006 Page 5 City of Reno over this property.

It also states that if Atmos tears up one of our lines, they will have it repaired. We are not going to be billing each other. Council Member Manning wanted to know if we would be coming out even on this Agreement. Tony told him he thought so. A Motion to approve this item was made by Council Member Wilson and seconded by Council Member Wilkerson. Motion carried, 5 ayes - 0 nays. F. RESOLUTION NO. 2006-016: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF P ARIS, PARIS, TEXAS, APPROVING ADDENDUM NO. ONE TO THE SEWER SERVICE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PARIS AND THE CITY OF TOCO; MAKING OTHER FINDINGS AND PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Jon Clack said we currently have an agreement with Toco to treat their waste water. Texas Commission on Environment Quality was not comfortable with the Agreement, in that it gave the City of Paris explicit authority to implement and enforce our sewer use ordinance and our industrial pretreatment program. This Resolution addresses that issue. Council Member Wilson inquired about the age of the contract and its duration. Mayor Fendley said the original contract was written in 1969. Council Member Wilson wanted to know if the rate today is the same rate charged in 1969. Gene Anderson said it needs to be raised, but in the overall revenue stream it was an insignificant amount. Gene Regular City Council Meeting February 13, 2006 Page 8 said it was an old sixties contract and the rates need to be reviewed. Council Member Wilson said it wasn't fair to be charging Toco less than what we are charging the citizens of Paris. Gene said the contract needs to be redone. Mayor Fendley said under item number seven, it gives Council the option of reviewing it annually and changing the rate. Mayor Fendley said when the water and rate study is done, we need to review the contract. A Motion to approve this item was made by Council Member Wilson and seconded by Council Member Manning. Motion carried, 5 ayes - 0 nays. G.

Council Member Ray inquired as to why we were purchasing the equipment from the City of PIano. Tony told Council the reason to do so was to save money. Ronnie Grooms said that PIano has already gone out and bid for these items, and the law allows us to "piggyback" on PIano. PIano is able to get a good purchase price. By entering into an Interlocal Agreement, it will save us approximately $12,000.00. A Motion to approve this item was made by Council Member Wilson and seconded by Council Member Manning, Council Member Wilkerson and Council Member Ray. Motion carried, 5 ayes - 0 nays. H. RESOLUTION NO. 2006-018: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS, PARIS, TEXAS, APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN AMENDED LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PARIS AND COX SOUTHWEST HOLDING, L.P.

Council Member Manning wanted to know if Amended Lease Agreement included Regular City Council Meeting February 13, 2006 Page 9 the price increase. Tony answered in the affirmative. Tony informed Council that Cox agreed to the money and the CPI. The only change is Cox wanted it to be in five year increments, as opposed to one year increments. A Motion to approve this item was made by Council Member Wilson and seconded by Council :Member Manning. Motion carried, 5 ayes - 0 nays. 1.

TWO TO CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW POLICE AND COURTS FACILITY; MAKING OTHER FINDINGS AND PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Shawn Napier said there were two items on the change order. The first one being upgrading the parking lot from seal coated to concrete. The second item is to repair the older part of the building roof. In December, it was decided that the roof was in poor condition and needed to be repaired. Shawn told Council that these items were in the original phase of the contract, but excluded at the time they were cutting back to stay within budget. Shawn further told Council that the money is there for these items and they will still be under budget. Council Member Wilson stated he did not have a problem with repairing the roof, but had a problem with spending $75,000.00 on a concrete parking lot. He said he thought an item that size should have come back to Council. Council Member Wilkerson asked if the work had already been done. Shawn told Council the majority of the work had been done. Council Member Wilkerson said she had a problem with it not coming back to Council prior to the work being done. A Motion to approve this item was made by Council Member Ray and seconded by Council Member Manning. Motion carried, 4 ayes - I nay, with Council Member Wilkerson casting the dissenting vote. 7. Receive the City of Paris Audit Report for fiscal year 2004-2005. Tom Hensel with McClanahan and Holmes presented the Audit Report. 8. Presentation by City Manager regarding status of City finances. Tony Williams went over the Summary of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Regular City Council Meeting February 13, 2006 Page 10 Fund Balances for the General Fund. He gave a year end comparison between 2004 and 2005. At the end of September 2004, the fund balance was $3,890,736.00 and at the end of September 2005, the fund balance had increased to $5,528,792.00. The City had a turnaround of nearly 3.4 million dollars. Tony reminded Council this was not cash and that it could not be spent, because the City owes itself money. In the utility fund, we are in a deficit of 1,842,918.00 and owe that money to the general fund. Tony further explained that last year the amount owed was larger in the water and sewer fund, in that there was a deficit $2,397,000.00. Tony told Council the trend over the last several years has been that the City has spent more money than it has taken in. We have improved, but our finances are not where they need to be. 9. Public Hearing to receive input from the citizens of Paris regarding the expenditure of funds for the United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program (formerly known as the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Program).

Regular City Council Meeting February 13,2006 Page 11 Mayor Fendley opened the public hearing and asked for anyone speaking in favor of this item to do so. Cecilia Lester, 1 1 75-42nd S.E., spoke in support of this item. Mrs. Lester said they wanted to build a house at the end of the road, but could not because it was too expensive to get the water. Mayor Fendley asked for anyone speaking against this item to do so. With no one else speaking, Mayor Fendley closed the public hearing. 12. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS, PARIS, TEXAS, APPROVING A REQUEST FOR A NEW PRO RATA WATER MAIN EXTENSION TO SERVE THE AREA LONG A PORTION OF 42ND STREET S.E., A PRIVATE ROAD, BEGINNING AT OLD CLARKSVILLE STREET AND ENDING ON THE NORTH SIDE OF HIGHWAY 271 SOUTH; MAKING OTHER FINDINGS AND PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Tony said that the Engineer Department had received a letter from Mr. Hutchings stating that he was in favor of the water project. Mayor Fendley inquired as to if we had a program allowing the owner to pay the cost over a period of months. Shawn Napier answered in the affirmative. Tony recommended that the City invest in that area of the community and put in the water line, in order for future development. Shawn said one thing that they may be able to do is assess them for the part they will actually be using and break the other part off for future use. Mayor Fendley asked if that meant her part would cost $1,170.00. Shawn said it depended on what kind of frontage. Council Member Manning wanted to know who was going to pay for that future use. Shawn explained that it would be whoever builds on that property and puts in the first water meter. Council Member Wilson wanted to know if they will keep gravel roads if they come in and divide up the property. Shawn said if it is subdivided, it will require concrete streets. Council Member Manning said the City needs to be able to recoup some of the losses. Council Member Ray said he would like to see what it would cost to go down the frontage side and hold off on the west side of the street. Mayor Fendley asked Council if Council wanted to deny this resolution, allowing for additional information at a later date. A Motion to deny this item was made by Council Member Wilkerson and seconded by Council Member Ray. Motion carried, 5 ayes - 0 nays. 13. Discussion and direction on possible disannexation of a tract of land located on US Highway 19/24 South and a tract of land South of Cox Field Airport. Tony displayed a map of the property lines. This item was previously discussed and he asked Council to reconsider this item. He explained there was a 500 foot strip that does Regular City Council Meeting February 13,2006 Page 12 not conform to the property lines. He previously recommended disannexation, because it would be helpful to the emergency groups to better distinguish the city limits. He stated that discussion had come up about the old lumber yard, which was later a flea market and has since closed down. Tony said there is not a lot of value involved with regard to this property. Tony informed Council if they wanted to proceed with disannexation, that they would need to go through the process of publication and a public hearing. Council gave direction to staff to proceed with the disannexation. Tony displayed a map reflecting a tract ofland located out Highway 271 South, South of Cox Field. Tony said there were a couple of houses East of there, but for the most part the property is agriculture. Council Member Wilson stated the City wasn't providing water or sewer, and it wasn't fair to penalize those people. Council Member Manning wanted to know how far the property was from Cox Field. Tony said they would need to get with the Aemautical Commission to determine what they want us to have in the way of easements, to protect the airport. Council gave direction to staff to move in the direction of disannexing the property. 14. Discussion of a strategic plan for the City of Paris. Tony presented a draft survey that he would like to get out to the citizens. The purpose of the survey is to get input from the citizens about city services, in an effort to improve the City of Paris. 15.
