M., Paris Junior College, Applied Technology Building, Room 1016, 2400 Clarksville Street, Paris, Texas. Mayor Michael J. Pfiester called the meeting to order with the following Council Members present: Richard Manning, John F. Bell, Joe E. McCarthy, John A. Carter, Jr., Kevin Gray, an d Benny Plata. Also present were City Manager Michael E. Malone, City Att o rney Larry W. Schenk, and Assistant City Clerk Tommy Haynes. Invocation was given by Gene Anderson, Director of Finance for the City of Paris. Mayor Pfiester called the meeting to order and reminded the Council Members that they had been furnished reports of the Paris Public Library Advisory Board, Board of Commissioners , Housing Authority of Paris, PEDC, Main Street Advisory, Airport Advisory Board, Band Commission and Drainage Study Committee, with no action required. City Ma nager Michael Malone read the list of minutes in the packet and informed the Council that there was an opportunity for discussion on the Drainage Committee Study. Council Member Benny Plata, Chairman of the Drainage Co mmittee, told the Council that the Drainage Committee would meet again to prioritize the projects. He explained that, on the list handed out by City Manager Michael t h E. Malone , projects already completed included 6 SW & Sherman, 3000 n d Block of Lamar across from Tanglewood Apartments, and 32 SW and Kaufman. The other projects were underway at this time. t h Mayor Pfiester asked about the pro gress on 24 Street. City Manager Malone responded that staff had recently met with Hayter Engineering to discuss the Cope Street Sewer Project and the Wade Park, Lamar Avenue th and 24 Street Drainage Improvement Project. He reported that Hayter’s staff is getting an estimate together as to what it would take to accomplish th the Wade Park, Lamar Avenue, and 24 Street SE Drainage Improvement Project, which has been designated by the Co uncil and the Drainage Committee as the number one drainage project priority. The City Manager explained that there was a total of $626,000.00 allocated in the Certificates of Obligation 2000 for a mitigation pond project at Wade Park. He said that the engineer has determined that the mitigation pond would not be of City Council Meeting April 9, 2001 Page 2 sufficient size to address this drainage problem after further investigation, and that it appeared that an enlargement of the present channel from Wade Park all the way south to Clark Lane would be necessary. He stated that when the engineer completed his assessment of need, then an estimate would be available of the total cost of the project. Mike Lane, 1342 Lamar Avenue, appeared before the Council, requesting that the City waive its park use fee for the 2001 Lake Crook drag boat races. Mr. Lane related that, following last year’s race, the financial turn out was not as anticipated and that he would not be financially involved in the promotion of the race, He stated that he would be working closely with the Race Association to figure out how they could come back with the race without a designated promoter. To do that, Mr. Lane and the Association felt it was necessary to ask the City to waive the weeke nd use fee of $1500.00 minimum and to waive the EMS Ambulanc e fee which is approximately $800.00 per day, depending on hours worked. The race is to be a two day event this year and Mr. Lane indicated that, if the city waived those fees, it would net the association about a $3100.00 savings. Mr. Lane indicated that the racers were going to race strictly for poin ts and that there would be no prize money awarded, so that the entry fee money would be retained by the association to pay for all the event financial obligations. Mr. Lane advised that the Association has agreed to reduce their sanction fee and that all the pe rsonnel normally paid have agreed to come in and work for free. Mr. Lane said the racers want to see this race happen and they need more time on the water to build a strong spectator base. They feel that when they accomplish that goal, then the sp onsorship and advertising revenue will start coming in to pay for the event. After dis cussion, a motion was made by Councilman Gray, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Manning, to waive t he park use fee and EMS charges for the 2001 Lake Crook drag boat races. The motion carried 7 ayes, nays.

There are three contractors building these houses at a cost of $25,000.00 per house.

He said that he has received notification that the city has been recommended for a $250,000.00 grant through the Texas Community Development Program to build twelve more homes. The Public Works Departmen t, through contract labor, has replaced 16,593.20 linear feet of curb and gutter and 7,406.07 feet of approaches and sidewalks and driveways in preparation for the summer overlay program. City Manag e r Malone advised the City Council that the city is in the process of replacing 5500 feet of waterline from the 3700 Block of Clarksville Street that supplies Jefferson Heights subdivision. The City Manager reported that in the northwest Paris area there has been th th 5,000 linear feet of waterlines installed on Graham Street, 10 N. W., 11 N. th th W., 12 N.W., 13 N.

City Manager Malone reported on the status of the Santa Fe - Frisco Depot Project, TxDOT Enhancement Grant Program, stating that the work is almost complete on the roof, accomplished by utilizing the prisoners from the Bonham State Jail unde r the direction of construction manager Wendell Moore. He said there was approximately $200,000.00 in savings achieved by using the labor from the Bonham State Jail.

City Manager Malone advised that the city is planning to use the prisoners to do additional work that is not part of the bid package. City Manager Malone said with regard to the Salary and Wage Study, the consultant has been ready to make a report for several weeks, and the city is looking for some dates from the City Council in order for the consultants to come and present the report. He said it is suggested that one meeting with the City Council be held in order for them to go through the report with the consultant, but if there are issues that need further investigation, City Council Meeting April 9, 2001 Page 12 it may take additional time. Councilman Bell inquired about the status of the paperless agenda. City Manager Malone reported that the computers are on order and should be delivered and that it is going to take time to configure the computers and loa d the software. He advised that an additional server will be needed if the agendas are going to be placed on the internet and allow people to receive the agenda by this means. City Manager Malone said this has not been done because the cost would be approximately $10,000.00. Mr. Malone also reported that final dates to place items on the agenda would ha ve to be scheduled earlier because of the time it takes to prepare the paperless agenda - burning the CD’s to be distributed to the City Council. The extra work required to make the agenda information available in this format and on the internet adds considerable expense and labor to the agenda process, so everything must be started earlier in the time line. There is a need for an additional high speed scanner. We only have one located in the City Clerk’s office and must have another for backup and to ensure that equipment is available to do all necessary work. The smaller scanners that the city has are too slow. City Manager Malone advised that a large scanner will be placed in the 2001-2002 budget for this purpose. There being no further business, a motion was made by Councilman McCarthy, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Manning, to adjourn the meeting. The motion carried 7 ayes, 0 nays. ____________________________ MICHAEL J. PFIESTER, MAYOR ATTEST: ____________________________ MATTIE CUNNINGHAM City Clerk
