MAYOR THE STATE OF TEXAS COUNTY OF DALLAS WHEREAS, heretofore the City of Dallas had a contract with the City of University Park, whereby the City of Dallas received into its sanitary sewer mains ali sewage originating in the City of University Park, which said contract expired on the Zlst day of March, A.D., 1972; and WHEREAS, the City of Dallas continued to receive such sewage from the date of the expiration of such Contract until the effective date of this Contract; and WHEREAS, the City of University Park has agreed to continue to pay the City of Dallas for receiving such sewage at the rate set forth under the previous Contract and under the terms thereof, as authorized by Resolution of the City of University Park; Now, Therefore, WITNESSETH THE AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO: The City of Dallas agrees to receive in its sanitary sewer mains all sewage originating in the City of University Park and tendered it through the present connections, or such other future connections as may be made at the expense of the City of University Park and are acceptable to the City of Dallas, and dispose of the same for a consideration as follows: (a) The City of University Park agrees to pay to the City of Dallas for such sewer service, a sum of money to be computed as follows: At the rate of one dollar and twenty ($1.20) cents per month per each connection within the City of University Park (b) For the purpose of determining what shall be considered a connection, the following definitions are agreed to: (1) A connection is hereby defined to mean the service to one single-family dwelling unit within the City of University l~ark and so connected as to ultimately empty into the sanitary sewer mains of the City of Dallas. Each dwelling unit in a multiple dwelling, hav- ing its sewage emptied into mains connected with the mains of the City of Dallas, shall be considered a separate connection and a separate connection will be required to be paid for on a monthly basis whether such separate dwelling unit is occupied or not. (2) Service to a business unit shall be defined as one connec- tion per twelve thousand (12,000) gallons, or less, of water, con- sumed per month, or any fraction equal to or exceeding one-half thereof, and this calculation shall be made on the basis of average water consumed for a period of the six (6) winter months for such location next preceding the first day of January, e. g. , the months of October, November, December, 1959, January, February, and March, 1960, would be the basis for determining the number of connections to be paid for the calendar year of 1961 for a specific location. If this information is not available an estimate of such consumption should be made where no experience exists. (3) Water consumed for air conditioning in any commercial building not used for dwelling purposes, shall be included in calcu- lating the sewer connections if said water so used is metered through one meter for general purposes, and which is connected with the sewer. However, no water shall be calculated in determining the business connections if the water for air condition- ing is metered through a separate meter and the waste does not flow into the sanitary sewer. Likewise churches, and schools which use water for sprinkling lawns shall not be considered for the purpose of calculating a business connection if the water is metered for such sprinkling purposes through a separate meter. (4) The Sanitary Sewage Contract between the City of Dallas and the City of University Park which terminated March 31, 1961, provided for the payment of one hundred and twenty-five dollars ($125) per month fiat sum as compensation for sanitary sewage service rendered to Southern Methodist University. Effective April 1, 1961, the City of University Park shall pay to the City of Dallas for sanitary sewer services for sewage originating on the campus of Southern Methodist University, four hundred sixty-nine dollars and eighty ($469.80) cents in advance monthly for the remainder of the calendar year of 1961. The above pay- ment represents or is equal to five hundred twenty-two (522) commercial connections and is based upon water consumed on the campus of Southern Methodist University for the period August 1, 1959 through July, 1960. Beginning with January 1, 196Z, payments made by the City of University Park to the City of Dallas for sanitary sewage service shall be calculated as service to a business, church or school as defined and described in paragraph 2 and 3 above. (c) The total number of sanitary sewer connections to which the rate of compensation hereto agreed shall apply, shall be determined by the number of connections so connected as to ultimately empty into the sanitary sewer mains of the City of Dallas as of the first day of January of each year and shall apply for the following twelve (12) month period. The compensation for this service shall be paid by the City of University Park to the City of Dallas on a monthly basis, in advance, payment to be made not later than the tenth day of each month, without discount. The failure or refusal on the part of the City of University Park to make prompt remittance of the monthly compensation for the service, after the receipt of statements therefor, shall give the City of Dallas the right, upon reasonable notice, to disconnect the entire service contemplated under this agreement. Beginning the 1st day of May, A.D. 1972, and each month thereafter, the City of University Park will furnish to the City of Dallas a statement showing the number of new connections made during the preceding month, together with the address, type of premises, and location thereof. (d) The basic charge of one dollar and twenty ($1.20) cents per each sewer connection per month, as defined in this contract, shall be credited for service rendered to the City of Dallas by the City of University Park and payment in advance for a thirty (30) day period, so that the charge will be one dollar and eight ($1, 08) cents per each sewer connection per month, upon the following conditions: (1) The City of Dallas now has certain direct connections made with the City of University Park Sewer System, approxi- mately five hundred (500) in number, which in turn empty into the Town of Highland Park Sewer System. The City of University l~ark agrees not to make any charge to the City of Dallas for these flowage rights of sewage which first enters into the City of University Park Sewer System, then traverses the Town of High- land Park Sewer System and then empties into the City of Dallas Sewer System. (2) The Town of Highland Park has likewise agreed that it will make no charge to the City of University Park for sewage entering into the main interceptor sewer of the Town of Highland Park lec ated in Lakeside Drive and connecting to the sewer of the City of Dallas in Turtle Creek Boulevard, and no charge shall be made for sewage of the City of Dallas carri'ed through said inter- ceptor line whether delivered into said interceptor sewer by the City of Dallas or the City of University Park. (3) The City of Dallas and the City of University Park agree that each shall have the right and privilege to make direct connec- tions for sewers, one to the other, wherever it may be practicable and convenient for either city to do so, and that for such inter- connections there will be no charge made by either the City of Dallas or the City of University Park. Before any such connection is made the party desiring to make such connection shall make application in writing to the other party, and such application shall be granted if the lines are adequate to carry the additional load. (4) Considering the mutual covenants with reference to the inter-city charges, and the payment by the City of University Park of the sewer charges monthly in advance, the cia rge will be one dollar and eight ($1, 08) cents per month per each connection, pay- able on or before the tenth (lOth) day of the current month. (5) Failure on the part of the City of University Park to make said payment monthly in advance on or before the tenth (lOth) day of the current month shall incur a penalty, and the delinquent rate shall be one dollar and twenty ($1. ZO) cents for each delinquent month. 1972, This agreement shall become effective on the first day of May, and shall~expire on the thirtieth day of Apri_l, A.D. 1973. Be ' Ao De It is distincly understood by the parties hereto that the City of Dallas owes it primary obligation and duty to furnish sewer services to the citizens of the City of Dallas, and that the City of Dallas is furnishing the service, or selling the service, under this agreement because it presently has a surplus and expects to have a surplus of such service. It is mutually understood and agreed that the City of University l~ark may, during the term of this contract, elect to construct its own sewer disposal plant, either solely at its own expense, or jointly with some other municipality. Such construction would require approximately 18 to 24 months to consummate. In the event the City of University Park shall elect to provide its own sanitary sewer system disposal plant during the term of this agreement, the City binds and obligates itself to notify the City of Dallas at the time such decision is made. It is further mutually understood and agreed that at such time as the City of University Park shall complete its sewer disposal plant, this contract shall terminate and cease, and neither party shall have any further liability thereon provided all of the other terms, Conditions and obligations imposed by this contract have been fully complied with up to such date of termination. e It is further mutually understood and agreed that the City of University Park will maintain a careful inspection of its sanitary sewer system and will exercise diligence and care in the maintenance of said sanitary sewer system within the City of University Park and in the installation of connections and laterals that may be connected with the said sanitary sewer system within the City of University Park in order that the sanitary sewer system of the City of Dallas shall not be burdened with excess discharge of fiow from the sanitary sewer system of the City of University Park during rains and wet weather; and that the connections to be made within the City of University Park shall be made in strict conformity with the rules and regulations, ordinances and charter provisions of the City of Dallas regulating sanitary sewer connections and the manner of thus making sanitary sewer connections within the City of Dallas, and that a failure on the part of the City of University Park to provide and enforce such regulations governing connections with the sanitary sewer system of the City of University Park, shall, at the option of the City of Dallas, after notice to ..... the City of University Park in writing of the specific violation, or violations, and after failure within thirty (30) days to correct said violation, or violations, the City of Dallas may terminate this contract. e That the City of University Park will not permit any person to make any sanitary sewer connection, or to do any plumbing work on any of the sanitary sewer lines except that such person be a licensed plumber under the ordinances, rules and regulations of said City, or that said City may permit, at its option, a plumber duly licensed by the City of Dallas to make such connections. The City of University Park will not make any extension of sanitary sewer service beyond the City of University Park, nor permit any outside connections withou/t the consent of the City of Dallas for sanitary sewer service, in which event the rate to be charged for such service shall be determined and also the compensa- tion that will be paid to the City of Dallas for such service, which service shall not be included within the rate herein promulgated. The City of University Park will not make any extension of sanitary sewer service beyond the present drainage area so that nothing but gravity flow sanitary sewers will be installed. The City of University Park hereby agrees to appropriate annually so much of the revenues of the City emanating from whatever source for the purpose of paying the mont. hly charge for the sanitary sewer service to be paid to the City of Dallas under the terms of this contract. The sanitary sewer charge, or rental, to be paid by the City of University Park to the City of Dallas shall be deemed to be a current expense of said City for each of the years in question and as such monthly rentals, or charges, become due and payable. It is expressly agreed and understood that the City of Dallas shall never be liable to the said City of University Park, or any of its citizenship for the failure to furnish an adequate sanitary sewer service should it develop that during the term of this agreement the sewerage facilities of the City of Dallas should become inadequate, or fail, or in the event the City of Dallas become s disabled from furnishing this service through acts of God, acts of public enemy, riots, or civil commotions or through sabotage, or any other means beyond the control of the City of Dallas. gm This agreement entered into by each of the parties hereto is subject to the provisions of the Constitution, applicable State laws and charter pro- visions presently in force, or any amendment of either source of power or authority under which each respective party acts in entering into this agree- ment. This instrument is executed in triplicate, two copies to be retained by the City of Dallas, and one retained by the City of University Park. EXECUTED this the day of A.D. 1972.

PASSED AND APPROVED THIS THE 3RD DAY OF FEBRUARY, 1975. ATTEST MAYOR RESOLUTION NO. 75-3 WHEREAS, the 64th Texas Legislature is considering much legislation which has adverse results on the finances and opera- tions for the Cities of Texas; and WHEREAS, as representatives of the citizens of University Park, the Board of Commissioners feel that they should express their opinion on legislation which directly affects the citizens of University Park; and WHEREAS, there appears to be several specific bills which would have far reaching results on the City of University Park if passed and signed into law. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS: THAT, the Board of Commissioners of the City of University Park officially opposes the following bills which have been intro- duced: (1) H.B. 1069, Police-Fire Civil Service: Mandatory, which requires all cities over 10,000 to enact the State Civil Service Act for police and fireman: Such an act is an invasion of the prerogatives of the local citizens and governing body; The act limits the ability of cities to hire and retain able employees because of its emphasis on longevity; Appears to be in direct conflict with other manda- ted State Legislation such as Workmen's Compensation; Is discriminatory in that it applies only to special groups of city employees. (2) H.B. 1214, Open Meetinqs-Notice, which requires that notices of meetings of governmental bodies be increased from 72 hours to seven days. Scheduling of bids and other items would be most difficult with such a long "lag time" before meetings; bo Because of such excessive length, many items would have to be handled under the emergency section of the act which would actually subvert the real purpose of the act; Cities have not had problems of citizens not being informed of meetings and proposed subjects and should not be included in act to prohibit closed meetings of specific governmental bodies. (3) H.B. 1234, Open Meeting Records, which requires electronic recording of all meetings and requires full and accu- rate minutes of the same. An immense capital expense will be required to buy electronic equipment for all governmental body meetings to be recorded wherever held; It appears that "full" minutes means typing such minutes verbation which would increase personnel costs immensely and would be especially onerous to small cities; Would make any search of past minutes tedious and time consuming with the extraneous material included within the official minutes; d. Would appear to be far too costly in relation to any evils the bill was purported overcome. (4) H.B. 1259, Prevailinq Wage, which abrogates the right of city councils to establish prevailing wage rates on public works and puts such authority with the State Commissioner of Labor Statistics. City Councils should be better able to determine the prevailing ways rates in a community rather than the use of a statewide system which seems to be indicated. Historically State and Federal Labor Departments tend to support union pay scales which would seem discriminatory; H.B. 1259 would tend to increase the costs of public works projects at a time when inflation is making such projects hard to finance; and THAT, although all of these bills are House Bills and hopefully will be killed in committee, the Board of Commissioners would oppose any companion Senate Bills on the above subjects; and THAT, copies of this resolution shall be sent to legislators from this area. Passed and approved this 7th day of April, 1975. MAYOR RESOLUTION NO. 75-4 WHEREAS, the 64th Texas Legislature is considering much legislation which has adverse results on the finances and opera- tions for the Cities of Texas; and WHEREAS, as representatives of the citizens of University Park, the Board of Commissioners feel that they should express their opinion on legislation which directly affects the citizens of University Park; and WHEREAS, there appears to be several specific bills which would have far-reaching results on the City of University Park if passed and signed into law. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSION- ERS OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS: THAT, the Board of Commissioners of the City of University Park officially opposes the following bills which have been introduced in the Texas Legislature: (1) S.B. 443, AGENCY SHOP, which requires that employers cannot deny the right of a union, which represents a majority of the employees, to contract that non-union employees pay the union a fee equal to union dues. Such a provision is in violation of a' worker's right to join or not join a union as a non-union member has obligations without benefits This legislation apparently covers municipalities who have voted in collective bargaining and will apparently cover those who vote for collective bargaining in the future. (2) S.B. 952, PUBLIC UTILITY SERVICES:LATE CHARGES, which limits the late charge on municipalities to 1.5% of the bill. Present discount or late charge regulations by cities have proven satisfactory and workable; 0 Such a low fee for late charges would create more late payments; extra labor and eventually require increased rates. IlO (3) S.B. 990, WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION-DENY EMPLOYMENT, which would prohibit an employer from hiring a person because he has filed a workmen's compensation claim. Mandated Workmen's Compensation requirements by Cities are already a burden on municipal finances, and this requirement would be a further burden in that cities could not protect themselves from the "professional" claimant. (4) H.B. 1654, LIMIT STATE/LOCAL LOBBYING, which would restrict cities from spending money for the passage or defeat of any legislative matter. a. Each session of the Texas Legislature proposes many and passes some bills which have far-reaching financial effects upon cities and the inability to put input into the consideration of such bills would be in abrogation of the responsibility placed upon city councils of Texas by the voters. (5) H.B. 1752, UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION COVERAGE FOR CITY EMPLOYEES, which would require the cities to carry such coverage. The cost to the City of University Park would be an additional 5¢ on the tax rate; In these times of inflation and high unemployment, keeping wages at levels commensurate with the price levels, so that city employees can exist above the poverty level, strains the city budget without additional costs. (6) H.B. 1808, FIRE-POLICE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING, ELECTIONS: which would require that cities adopt and implement collective bargaining by a petition signed by 5% of the qualified voters who voted at the last election. Seems to abrogate the right of all the qualified voters to decide on this important issue; Does not give local jurisdictions and their governing bodies a chance to solve their own employer-employee problems. (7) H.B. 1857, FIREMEN'S SICK LEAVE, which requires a city to pay all accumulated sick leave and requires every city to provide one full year of sick leave to injured firemen. a. Would be especially costly to most city jurisdictions; b. Would amend personnel rules long established by cities in the State; c. Seems to be an invasion of prerogatives of local governments; d. Tends to be in direct conflict with the Workmen's Compensation Statute; and THAT, although these bills have only been introduced in with the Senate or House and hopefully will be killed in committee, the Board of Commissioners oppose any companion bills introduced in either the House or Senate; and THAT, copies of this resolution shall be sent to legislators from this area. PASSED AND APPROVED THIS 7TH DAY OF APRIL, 1975.

Miles be saluted for the attainment of one hundred years of life; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be entered in the Official Book of Resolutions of the City of University Park there to remain and that a copy be given to her and her family.

WHEREAS, the City of Dallas, ~hs City.of University Park and other interested agencies engaged Schimpeler-CorradinQ Associates to study alternative plans for the improvement of North Central Expressway; and WHEREAS, Schimpeler-CorradinQ Associates has recommend- ed the widening of North Central Expressway, at-grade, as the most viable method of expressway improvement for the follow- ing reasons: 1. Widening the expressway at-grade is more acceptable visually than construction of above-grade structures; 2. Minimum right-of-way will be required. Although some property will be taken, it will be significantly less than that usually encountered when traditional solutions are applied to urban expressway problems; 3. Staged construction will minimize disruption to traffic both on the cross streets and along the expressway; 4. No impacts to the neighborhoods in the corridor are expected because arterial improvements and/or new toll- way construction to handle spill-over expressway traffic will not be needed; 5. The recommended course of action will accomodate almost as much traffic as the op%imum traffic solution (double-decking), but at a lower cost; 6. The recommended course of action can be implemented consistent with established funding processes and programs; 7. The recommended program will allow staging of construction so that segments are useable in the near- term future and beyond; WHEREAS, the consultants have not made recommendations as to the configuration of the transit-way along North Central Expressway.
