WATER DIVISION Trinity Water Company Community Services Director Young reported this particular item appeared on the last Council Agenda and upon request of the City Attorney for certain further documentation it was tabled to tonight's meeting. Mr. Young stated he understands all papers requested have been supplied to our City Attorney; in addition, Mr. Young reported at one of the meetings held with residents of the area, there was some discussion about fire hydrants. Mr. Young said apparently several years ago, during the annexation process, the City had some pamphlets distributed which state in Section 14, Page 4, entitled WATER - The City will provide adequate fire hydrants providing the water supply has adequate mains and agrees to such arrangement, including installation. Mr. Young continued that the people in the area have asked Staff to bring this to the Council's attention for their consideration of not requiring the fire hydrant cost to be borne by the property owners. Mr. Young concluded that if everything else is in order, and indications are that it is, Council should also consider the request in terms of the fire hydrants. Discussion followed. City Attorney Edwards reported that it is his understanding that one shareholder has withheld consent, however, is expected that written consent would be available tonight, possibly with a condition. Mr. Maurice Sherrill, Legal Counsel for Trinity Water Company, addressed the City Council reporting he had in his possession the consent of Mr. & Mrs. Fair, conditioned upon the City assuming the cost of the two fire hydrants in question. Moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Councilman Hayes, to have the City bear the cost of the two fire hydrants required. Unanimous vote. City Attorney Edwards stated he would like to have clarification from Mr. Fair to verify that the motion just acted upon satisfies his conditional consent. Mr. Sherrill replied saying the motion satisfied the condition of Mr. Fair and now, full consent of the shareholders has been submitted. City Attorney Edwards stated there is one additional matter and that is, the matter of financing. Mr. Edwards said the property owners have requested that the City be willing to accept promisory notes as part of the payment rather than to have full cash payment required of them. Mr. Edwards asked for direction from the Council on this matter. Mr. Young reported there has been an indication from the property owners that some of them would like to be able to make timely payments for their portion of the installation costs with the remainder of the owners paying in full. Mr. Young stated the City now has a policy whereby agreement is entered into and is administered by the Finance Department with a 7% interest rate. Further discussion followed. Moved by Councilman Hayes, seconded by Councilwoman Cisneros, to proceed with acquisition of water mains, meters, and appurtenances from Trinity Water Company and to allow for payment of costs by property owners through appropriate- ly executed time payment agreements. Unanimous vote. PURCHASING Ordinance No. 1502 - First Reading City Manager Huffaker reported from his memorandum entitled, Amending the Purchasing Ordinance Numbers 1080 and 1231.
