The type of overlay will depend on an assessment of the overall roadway condition; 5) add a turn lane into the north entrance to the soccer fields; and 6) construct sidewalks from the Sports Complex/Trail head to the High School along South Collegiate.

Motion carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays. 30. First reading, deliberate and possibly act on AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS; ADDING ARTICLE VI, "HIRE PARIS FIRST" TO CHAPTER 2, ADMINISTRATION, OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS; ESTABLISHING NEW GUIDELINES AND CRITERIA FOR SHOWING PREFERENCE FOR LOCAL VENDORS AND Regular Council Meeting February 27, 2012 CONTRACTORS IN CITY PURCHASING AND CONTRACTING; MAKING OTHER t 4 8 1 FINDINGS AND PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT; PROVIDING A REPEALER CLAUSE; A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Council Member Pickle said he brought this forward as a result of discussion that Council had a couple of weeks ago at a Council meeting. He said he would like to consider Hiring Paris first, which is modeled after the City of Houston which gives local contractors preferential treatment. Council Member Pickle cited the Chamber's encouragement to citizens to "Shop Paris First." Council Member Pickle said passing this type of Ordinance would keep money in Paris. Council Members Frierson and Wright expressed they would also like to give preference to local companies. Council Members Avila and McCarthy expressed that the City should go with the lowest bidder. Council Member Grossnickle suggested looking at sending this item to the voters. Mayor Hashmi said he had faith in the integrity of all Council Members, but he thought the City Council should make sure that City Council's perception when passing an Ordinance should not give the residents any impression that the Council wanted to favor or not favor any particular individual. Mayor Hashmi said he felt like it should be kept with the lowest bidder. Council Member Pickle asked if State Law allowed cities to award contracts under $500,000. City Attorney Kent McIlyar said that State Law allowed cities to award contracts of up to $500,000 within 5% of the low bid, but that was not true for construction contracts. Council Member Pickle asked if that was for personal property. Mr. McIlyar answered in the affirmative, and further stated it was for items such as vehicles and supplies. Mayor Hashmi said in the future when the City bids out projects, that he would like for the bids to be for an entire project and not subtract portions of a project out of the bid. Council Member Pickle said he would like for the Ordinance to include all of Lamar County. A Motion to accept the lowest bid on any project for the City was made by Council Member McCarthy. Council Member Grossnickle asked about amending the Motion to allow the citizens of Paris to vote on this item. Mayor Hashmi asked if there was a second on Council Member McCarthy's Motion. A second was made by Council Member Avila. Motion carried, 4 ayes — 3 nays, with Council Members Pickle, Frierson and Wright casting the dissenting votes. City Clerk Janice Ellis clarified that City Council denied the local preference Ordinance. 31. Deliberate on funding for the Clarksville Street Sidewalk Project; and provide direction to City Staff. Gene Anderson explained that Paris Economic Development Corporation had declined the City's request to support the growing economic development of downtown Paris by funding 1482 Regular Council Meeting February 27, 2012 Page 6 a portion of this project. Mr. Anderson said the one option was to finish out the project without burying the utility infrastructure and that would cost $38,500 or finish out the project including burying the utility infrastructure, which would cost $100,700. A Motion for Mr. Anderson to find the funds to complete the project including burying the utility infrastructure was made by Council Member Pickle and seconded by Council Member Frierson. Motion carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays. 32. Deliberate on re- evaluation of placing the 4B Sales Tax Option on the May 12, 2012 City Ballot; and provide direction to City Staff. Council Member Pickle said he wanted to bring this back for reconsideration, because the Council would be selecting new members to the Boards and Commissions in June or July and that would be a good time to set a new 4B Board if it passed. Council Member Pickle also said if they started discussing 4A/4B later, that it would have an impact on the PEDC budget process. Council Member Frierson said that City Council had tabled the issue at a previous meeting and there would not be enough time to educate the public before the May election. Council Member Frierson said there were too many questions to be answered and he did not want to rush into this. Council Member McCarthy agreed. Mayor Hashmi and Council Member Avila both expressed they wanted to let the voters make the decision in May. Council Members Grossnickle and Wright opted for a longer education period. A Motion to table this item was made by Council Member Frierson and seconded by Council Member McCarthy. Motion carried, 4 ayes — 3 nays, with Mayor Hashmi, Council Member Pickle, and Council Member Avila casting the dissenting votes. 33.

Mr. McIlyar said the concern was that it could take years to purchase right -of -ways and that the exact final number was unknown. He said he did not believe it was prudent for the City to be the only one to pay their money up -front and be in a situation where the project failed or the loan did not come through, leaving the City in a position to have to claw that 1.45 million dollars back. Mr. Horton said the numbers were estimates and could come in over or under. Mr. McIlyar said once the numbers -1484 Regular Council Meeting February 27, 2012 Page 8 were final in a couple of years that the entities could pay off the entire amount at that time should they choose to do so. PEDC Director Steve Gilbert asked if he could offer an option. Mr. Gilbert said he and Delbert Horton were talking earlier and that Mr. Horton had several conversations with the people at TxDOT SIB Loan. Mr. Gilbert said there is the option that SURRMA could have two notes, one of those notes could be the 1.45 million for the City only and the other note could be for all of the other entities that wanted to go to term. He said the City would have the chance to pay it all off with no pre -pay penalty or could pay it out at the same rate. Mr. Horton said if the City thinks they are going to go that way, it needed to be structured in a single loan and then SURRMA would not be hit with a cash flow problem. Mr. Horton said he had requested this arrangement on Friday, but did not know for sure if they would agree to have the City on a single loan. A Motion to authorize and approve the Interlocal Agreement and the payment schedule set out was made by Council Member Frierson and was seconded by Council Member Pickle. Motion carried, 5 ayes — 2 nays, with Council Members Wright and Avila casting the dissenting votes. Mayor Hashmi asked City Council to move item 28 forward.
