IX. DISCUSSION/ACTION ON CITY GARBAGE SERVICE CONTRACT BIDS
Tom Newman presented a bid packet for City solid waste service,noting a late addition that allows bidding
on front-loading vehicles as well as side and rear loading ones. Some discussion followed on the potential
for damage to City streets by front-loading vehicles,and Tom Newman informed Council of the bid
process schedule. Chuck Ridge motioned to go for bids,and Paul Buell seconded. Jeff Miller questioned
the exclusivity clause,and clarified that City businesses could use their own vehicle to supplement their
waste removal,but other contractors could not be used during the contract period. Approved.
X. DISCUSSION/ACTION ON OPENING CITY WELL
Tom Newman presented new cost calculations for opening the City well,including the cost of a longer
connection line,and based on new figures provided by Green Valley. The City could not come close to
recouping the cost in the,two year interim rights period. Even if we could pump our total 300 acre feet
allocation for both years,the City would still be over$93,800 in the red. Discussion followed on various
options for the well,and Paul Buell observed that it would not be prudent to open the well now. Tom
Newman pointed out that some options,like winning our contested case hearing,or buying rights,are still
viable. Paul Buell motioned not to open the well at this time. Bob Glisar seconded. Approved.
XI. DISCUSSION/ACTION ON RESOLUTION TO ALLOW TRANSFER OF INTERIM
EAA WATER RIGHTS
Tom Newman informed Council that the resolution allows but does not mandate the transfer of the City's
interim rights,and suggested considering requests from neighboring communities at the prevailing market
price. Paul Buell motioned to proceed with investigating the option of transferring our interim rights. Bob
Glisar seconded. Approved.
XII. DISCUSSION/ACTION ON CITY POLICE UNIFORMS
Chief Riffe displayed a new City police uniform for Council's consideration. The new uniform is about
$30 less per set than the current one. The change will not affect the budget. Paul Buell motioned to
approve the new uniforms. Bob Glisar seconded. Approved.
XIII. DISCUSSION/ACTION ON MUNICIPAL JUDGE COMPENSATION
Ron Flake requested Council consider an increase in pay for the Municipal Judge,from$200 to$300 per
session,due to longer sessions,and to keep pace with the market. Paul Buell motioned for approval.
Chuck Ridge seconded. Approved.
XIV. COMMENTS BY STAFF
Tom Newman presented the attached Administrator's Report.
Chief Riffle reported the bids are out for patrol cars,and they will be opened next Friday. Jeff Miller
inquired if the City could piggyback on other cities' contracts. The Chief replied we can,but he would like
to see how the independent bids come out as well. Officers will begin writing actual citations rather than
warnings on the County roads.
Keith Gilbreath requested Council set a minimum dollar amount for items to be included in the City
inventory. He invited LCRA to attend Cibolofest. The contractor wants to work until Thursday night,then
clean up on Friday. His new phone line is working well. There has been a request for speed humps on
Buffalo Trail. Mark Vaughan has elected not to build Royal Oak Acres II,which affects the developer
behind it. The City is declining to be involved in connecting the line. The Thistle Creek developer has
been told to construct Thistle Creek Drive before any new sections.
