No services have been reduced or eliminated in order to save the money for the furniture. Motion by Curl, second by McMaster to award the bid to Austin Business Furniture in the amount of $21, 164. Approved 3-2. Bonner and Shelby opposed.

Frank Parmenter of 4106 Sequoia Trail East again addressed Council and asked the Council not to issue the certificates of obligation. McMaster pointed out that the purchase of Lakeaire Shopping Center did not include the entire shopping center, 36,000 square feet only, and that the portion obligated for I-35 frontage road right of way should be considered as a way to get the Highway Department to prioritize and proceed with the project. The old livestock/auction barn needs to be demolished. The Auction Barn is now at a good price and it would be in the best interest of the City to act now to obtain that property. Motion by McMaster, second by Tonn to approve the sale of the certificates of obligation. Approved 5-0. 920297 Ordinance adopting a drainage utility to provide service within the City limits -- First Reading/Marianne Banks Mayor Wood advised Council that approval of this item would be approval of another utility fund. Alan Woelke of Camp, Dresser, McKee explained that this item was to adopt the concept, not to establish a fee schedule, and reminded Council that the basic fees were discussed at a previous workshop and would be based on a percentage of a property's impervious cover. Exact figures would be developed for the fee schedule. Bonner asked if there weren't a number of ways to finance the drainage utility. Briggs responded that indeed there were a variety of ways to finance, but the user fee appears to be the most fair and equitable way. Initial operating money could be transferred from the street drainage fund. Mayor Wood emphasized that this ordinance, the drainage utility system, could be adopted and initiated without designating a fee at this time. Shelby and Bonner stated that they questioned the wording of the drainage utility ordinance and felt that it gives the City Manager the right to enact a fee without bringing it before the Council. City Attorney Marianne Banks, who drafted the drainage utility ordinance, assured them that the wording does not give the City Manager that authority. Mayor Wood recognized two citizens who had registered to speak during discussion of this particular item. Ms. Elin Criswell of 1610 Elm Street told the Council that she is opposed to another utility fee. Mrs. Ralph Ellis of 1902 Westwood Lane opposes another fee and the recent increase in other utility rates. She asked the Council to vote against the drainage utility ordinance. Minutes of City Council Meeting June 23, 1992 Page 4 of 6 Pages McMaster replied that he is not for fee increases either, but the drainage utility system should be enacted to help the City maintain and repair streets and pay for increased State and Federal mandates. He recommends approving the concept and then deciding during the budget process how much to charge the customers. Motion by McMaster, second by Curl to adopt a drainage utility on First Reading.

Tonn asked about the status of mosquito spraying. Public Utilities Director Jim Briggs explained that spraying has been delayed while we pursue state -mandated certification of staff who apply pesticides. Mayor Wood asked about doing it on a contract basis. Briggs replied that there is no money budgeted for that expense. Wood asked Gray to work with Briggs in order to spray San Gabriel Park prior to the planned 4th of July activities to be held there.
