cussed at length the ways of arriving at an
equitable sewer rate, taking into consideration the Environmental Protection
Agency ruling. Mr. Sharpe suggested the City Manager contact Mr. Graham
at CCMA in this respect and determine at what stage other cities are in
determining sewer rates, as Council feels all rates in the region should be
comparable.
#5 GENERAL DISCUSSION: A. Mr. Seeba advised the Council that Mr. Nalls,
Superintendent of Schools, had contacted City
Staff to request the penalty on the School District's utility bills with the
City be delayed each month until after his Board had met on the third Thursday
of the month.
It was Council concensus for the Utilities Superintendent to notify Mr. Nalls
that City Ordinance reads that bills are due by the 10th of each month without
penalty and it would have to be amended to allow this change. They feel City
Staff did not have the authority to delay the penalty until the 12th of Novem-
ber; however, the would allow it this time but all future bills will be due
by the 10th of each month without penalty.
B. Council discussed the proposed changes in service in the local Post Office
and felt the City should have been notified of the porposed changes before
the Postal Service actually started implementing the changes. The City
Secretary reported the Mayor had written letter of protest to Sectional Director
of the Post Office; Sen. John Tower, Sen Lloyd Bentsen and Rep. Kazen. He
drafted a petition to be circulated by members of the Citizens Advisory Com-
mittee in protest of this drastic move; and had contacted the newspaper with
an article requesting each citizen to write their elected representatives in
Washington to protest this move.
C. Utilities Superintendent Steinmetz notified the Council he had had the first
request for clearance regarding sewer connection fees on a property transfer
within the City.

plans for the Homecraft Subdivision to be sure of the City requirements.

estimates for Police Protection of this subdivision, as a result of a
request from Homecraft. The Chief is preparing his report to the City Manager,
which will be submitted to the Council.
