This printer is located at 434 W. Mockingbird Lane in Dallas, convenient to our facilities.

The City's current printing vendor, BSP Printing, was the fifth low bidder out of the six complete bids. They have been the City's printer since the last bid in 1998 and several years prior to that. Last year, the City spent $41,247.80 on printing with BSP. RECOMMENDA TION: Staff recommends accepting the low bid of Logan Graphics, Inc.

This bid was posted on RFP Depot: 341 vendors received fax or e-mail notice of the bid; 22 vendors viewed the bid; two vendors submitted bids. The City buys fuel based on a mark-up or mark-down from the daily average wholesale fuel prices for the DallasIFt. Worth area as published by the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS). Petroleum Traders, Inc. submitted the low qualified bid with an OPIS mark-up of $0.0132 for unleaded, $0.0152 for diesel #2, and $0.0152 for diesel #1. The City will purchase approximately $235,209.00 in fuel through this contract. Petroleum Traders has been the City's fuel vendor since April of 1999 and has provided good service. Mansfield Oil Company bid slightly lower markups (only $392 less than Petroleum Traders' annual total), but the bid did not meet specifications because it listed unbranded fuel.

She proposed that fundraising could pay for half of the playground equipment if the city could pay for the other half, and the city approved the partnership. Volunteers, coordinated by Mrs. Farley, began soliciting donations. By 2002, Mrs. Farley and other volunteers had raised enough money to renovate both parks. The fundraising strategy had been so successful and well-organized that other volunteers have raised approximately $200,000 to date. With the city's matching funds, almost $400,000 has been spent on playground renovations since 2001. Mayor Holmes recognized Mrs. Farley and presented her with a plaque and engraved pen set from the city. ITEMS FROM THE FLOOR Mr. Kenneth Crozier, 4305 Greenbrier, stated he had received a letter from Fire Chief David Ledbetter regarding the inspection of his garage and backyard, and he was willing to allow the inspection of his garage, but not the backyard. Mayor Holmes stated the city had received complaints from his neighbors about the backyard and he did not understand Mr. Crozier's reticence to allow the city to inspect it. Mayor Holmes noted it was a reasonable request and, if necessary, the city would obtain a warrant. Mr. Crozier requested a representative of his choice inspect the property prior to the city's inspection. Mayor Holmes noted that this situation had been dragging on for more than a year, and the city would now proceed with obtaining a warrant to inspect his garage and backyard. PUBLIC COMMENTS REGARDING WATER QUALITY: There were no comments. Mayor Holmes moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Mayor Pro Tern Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the following: CONSENT AGENDA CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR JUNE 21,2005: Mayor Holmes requested approval subject to the addition of the words "have to" under the Public Hearing item so that the sentence would read "Mayor Holmes stated a Certificate of Occupancy would have to be issued and Mr. Shadduck would have 120 days to complete the project or appear again before the city council." MAIN AGENDA CONSIDER AMENDING ORDINANCE 90/8 TO CHANGE THE NUMBER OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS REQUIRED TO BE BONDED AND TO CHANGE THE AMOUNT OF THE FIDELITY BONDS REQUIRED: Under the city charter, only the city manager and finance director are required to be bonded. A city ordinance dating back to the early 1980' s requires bonds on the city manager, director of finance, police chief, and director of public works in the amount of $250,000. Because of the city's new insurance coverage and to make the ordinance more consistent with the charter, it was proposed the city council adopt an amendment to the existing ordinance to drop the requirement for fidelity bonds on all employees except the city manager and the director of finance and to reduce the two remaining bonds from $250,000 to $25,000. Mayor Pro Tern Roberts moved approval. Councilmember Walker seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve amending Ordinance 90/8. ORDINANCE NO. OS/24 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, AS HERETOFORE AMENDED, BY AMENDING SECTION 8.110 TO REQUIRE SURETY BOND FROM CITY MANAGER AND FINANCE DIRECTOR; PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. CONSIDER DESIGN OF CONSTRUCTION FENCE FOR GOAR PARK IMPROVEMENTS AND CITY HALL REMODEL: The council was given a tour of the area to be impacted by the improvements to Goar Park and shown alternatives for construction fencing for the various phases of the project. A traditional 6" picket fence with no space between pickets will be constructed and painted "University Park" green. CONSIDER CONTRACT WITH MARCIA UPSON TO PROVIDE WEIGHT MANAGEMENT AND WELLNESS CLASSES TO CITY EMPLOYEES: The weight management and wellness classes should help lower health care costs to the city. The savings in claims alone should offset Ms. Upson's fee. It was suggested that the contract be rewritten and the indemnity clause be deleted. Councilmember Walker moved approval of the contract. Councilmember Carter seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the contract deleting the indemnity clause. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned to Goar Park for the groundbreaking ceremony. PASSED AND APPROVED this 5th day of July 2005. James H. Holmes III, Mayor ATTEST: Nina Wilson, City Secretary 19 AGENDA MEMO (07-19-05 AGENDA) DATE: July 14, 2005 TO: Bob Livingston City Manager FROM: Gene R. Smallwood, P.E. Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Consider Ordinance No. _ abandoning certain excess street right-of-way adjacent to 4400 Potomac. Background. The City Council previously heard a request from the property owner at 4400 Potomac for the City to abandon a strip of excess street right-of-way along his Armstrong frontage. The Council was amenable to the request and directed staff to determine the "Fair Market Value" (FMV) and to develop the enabling abandonment ordinance. The FMV of the 1047 SF strip of land was calculated at $40 per SF, or $41,880. The City Attorney developed the attached abandonment ordinance for the Council's consideration. If the Council approves the ordinance, staff will provide, upon receipt of the aforementioned FMV, the property owner with a certified copy of the ordinance, which he must file at Dallas County. He must then submit an amending plat consolidating his existing lot with the abandoned out parcel. No utilities will be impacted by the proposed sale of R-O-W, and it is staff's opinion the City has no current or future use of the subject parcel. Recommendation. Staff recommends City Council approval of the abandonment ordinance. 3800 UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS 75205 TELEPHONE (214) 363-1644 C:\Documents and Settings\nwilson\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK31 \AM R-O-W aband 4400 Potomac 07 19 05.doc 10:22 AM 07/14/05 ORDINANCE NO.

Austin, Director of Finance SUBJECT: Atmos Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program (GRIP) rate increase denial Background/Analysis In December 2004 Atmos Energy Corp, formerly TXU Gas, filed a request with the City to implement an annual GRIP rate increase. The City has initial jurisdiction over such matters, and on January 19, 2005 the UP City Council suspended the effective date of Atmos' proposed rate increase. The City also joined a coalition of cities (known as the Atmos Cities Steering Committee, or ACSC) opposing the Company's filing at the Railroad Commission ("Commission") in any appeal of the cities' actions to the Commission. Upon review of the Atmos filing, the ACSC legal counsel and consultants recommend finding that the Company's proposal is unjustified, unreasonable, and not in compliance with the GRIP statute (Texas Utilities Code S 104.301) either in fact or in law. Coalition cities are now asking their governing bodies to approve ordinances denying the GRIP increase. Atmos will then appeal these ordinances to the Railroad Commission. In consideration of the City taking action before August 12,2005, on the current GRIP request, Atmos has agreed not to file any additional GRIP requests (e.g., for 2004) before September 15, 2005 Recommendation City staff recommends approval of the attached ordinance denying the Atmos Energy request to implement a GRIP rate increase.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, DENYING THE REQUEST OF ATMOS ENERGY CORP., MID- TEX DIVISION, FOR AN ANNUAL GAS RELIABILITY INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM (GRIP) RATE INCREASE IN THIS MUNICIPALITY, AS A PART OF THE COMPANY'S STATEWIDE GAS UTILITY DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM; APPROVING COOPERATION WITH OTHER CITIES WITHIN THE ATMOS ENERGY CORP., MID- TEX DIVISION DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AS PART OF THE A TMOS CITIES STEERING COMMITTEE (ACSC); AUTHORIZING ACSC TO HIRE LEGAL AND CONSULTING SERVICES AND TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE COMPANY AND DIRECT ANY NECESSARY LITIGATION; AUTHORIZING INTERVENTION AS PART OF ACSC IN ANY APPEAL OF THE CITY'S ACTION TO THE RAILROAD COMMISSION; APPROVING COSTS INCURRED AS REASONABLE AND PROVIDING A REQUIREMENT FOR PROMPT REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS; FINDING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS ORDINANCE IS PASSED IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW; AND PROVIDING FOR NOTICE OF THIS ORDINANCE TO ATMOS ENERGY CORP., MID- TEX DIVISION. WHEREAS, on or about December 17, 2004, Atmos Energy Corp., Mid- Tex Division, (the "Company") filed with the City of University Park ("City"), a request pursuant to Texas Utilities Code S 104.301 for an annual gas reliability infrastructure program (GRIP) rate increase for customers on the Company's statewide gas utility system to be effective February 15, 2005, and subsequently extended that effective date until March 4, 2005, for some cities on its system; and WHEREAS, the City has exclusive original jurisdiction to evaluate the Company's request as it pertains to the distribution facilities located within the City, pursuant to Texas Utilities Code SS 102.001(b) and 103.001; and WHEREAS, the City timely acted to suspend the effective date of Atmos' proposed rate increase; and WHEREAS, it is reasonable for the City of University Park to cooperate with other cities in a coalition of cities in opposition to the Company's filing at the Railroad Commission ("Commission"), said coalition being known as Atmos Cities Steering Committee ("ACSC"), in any appeal of the cities' actions to the Commission; and WHEREAS, the Gas Utility Regulatory Act grants local regulatory authorities the right to intervene in rate proceedings filed at the Railroad Commission; and 1668\l2\Ordinance 1 WHEREAS, the Texas Utilities Code S 103.022 provides that costs incurred by the City in ratemaking activities are to be reimbursed by the regulated utility; and WHEREAS, ACSC's rate case expenses incurred in this proceeding are reasonable and should be reimbursed by the Company; and WHEREAS, counsel for ACSC, upon review of the Company's filing and upon consultation with various consultants, recommends finding that the Company's proposal is unjustified, unreasonable and is not in compliance with the GRIP statute (Texas Utilities Code S 104.301) either in fact or in law; and WHEREAS, information provided by the Company in response to ACSC's requests for information indicates that the Company actually decreased per-customer investment in infrastructure during calendar year 2003; and WHEREAS, the Company has publicly stated that it will receive substantial profit in 2005 over that approved by the Commission in GUD No. 9400; and WHEREAS, the Company's GRIP request fails to account for growth in numbers of customers, thereby undercounting the revenues it will receive from its proposed GRIP rate increase; and WHEREAS, the Company's GRIP request fails to recognize that GUD No. 9400 rates included profit based on TXU Corporation's capital structure rather than Atmos Energy Corp.' s current capital structure, which justifies a lower rate of return; and WHEREAS, the information reviewed by the ACSC consultants indicates that implementation of the Company's GRIP request would result in further over-earning by the Company above that approved by the Commission in GUD No. 9400; and WHEREAS, in consideration of the city taking action before August 12, 2005, on the currently pending GRIP request, the Company has agreed not to file any additional GRIP requests before September 15, 2005. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS: SECTION 1. That the Company's GRIP rate increase request is found to be unjustified, unreasonable and in violation of the GRIP statute and is therefore denied in all respects. The defects in the request include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the Company improperly calculated its 2003 rate base; (b) the Company included in its calculation projects unrelated to system improvement; ( c) the Company failed to recognize the increased revenues it is now receiving due to increased rates approved by the Commission in GUD No. 9400 and due to customer growth; (d) information supplied by the Company indicated that the Company actually decreased its per-customer investment in infrastructure in calendar year 2003; (e) approval of the Company's GRIP request would result in over-earning by the Company in the year of 1668\l2\Ordinance 2 implementation; and (f) the Company has failed to demonstrate that it meets the statutory prerequisites to qualify for a GRIP rate increase or that its proposed method of implementation of the GRIP statute constitutes a constitutional application of the statute. SECTION 2. That the City is authorized to cooperate with other Cities within the Company's Distribution System that have formed ACSC to hire and direct legal counsel and consultants, negotiate with the Company, make recommendations to the City regarding reasonable rates and to direct any necessary litigation associated with an appeal of this ordinance to the Commission. SECTION 3. That the costs incurred by ACSC in reviewing the Company's GRIP request and representing ACSC in this proceeding are hereby found to be reasonable and, upon submission to the Company, shall be promptly reimbursed by the Company. SECTION 4. That the City is authorized to intervene in any appeal of the city's action filed at the Commission, and to participate in any such appeal as a member of ACSC. SECTION 5. That this Ordinance shall become effective immediately from and after its passage, as the law and charter in such cases provide. SECTION 6. That it is hereby officially found and determined that the meeting at which this Ordinance is passed is open to the public as required by law and that public notice of the time, place and purpose of said meeting was given as required.
