SUMMARY: As we approach the spring months and the usual weather unpredictability that comes along with our seasonal changes, it is prudent to revisit the weather warning _ policy we have in place. We have adopted Code-Red, which is our emergency telephone notification system, for use during very severe weather warnings for the area in and aro"Qnd Anna. We have had some successes using Code-Red as a weather warning system. The system, however, was not designed for use as a weather warning system. Code Red's Web-Site does not list weather warnings as a recommended use.

For $2,500 per year, we can adopt and use a new Code Red Weather warning service. Our citizenry will have to register for the system, just as they have done with our current Code-Red system. Attached are some correspondences between Code Red personnel and me. I have alsoattoohed-acopy of the City's policy regarding severe weather and the use of··_·­ our severe weather warning systems (sirens and telephone) for your review. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: We revisit the use of the Code Red system we currently have as a weather warning system.

We are concerned that the current Ordinance may produce <situations that contrary to the public interest.-Alrwediscuss some of our concerns, we would like the Council's feedback on any appropriate amendments to our ordinance regarding the keeping of livestock and fowl within the City's Corporate Limits.

SUMMARY: Based on the discussion that occurred during the February 10 Council meeting, Staff has developed two options for addressing the concerns raised by former customers of the South Grayson Water System. . Ordinance "A" would reduce the Outside City Water Rates for all Residential and Commercial Customers from 1.5 to 1.25 times the in-side city rate. Such a reduction would become effective on March 1, 2009. Ordinance "B" would phase in the full Outside City Water Rate (which is currently 1.5 times the in-side city rate) over a 1Yz year period. On March 1, 2009 these customer would pay the same rate as the in-side city customers. On October 1, 2009 their rate would increase to 1.25 times the in-side city rate, and on October 1, 2010 their rate would increase to the full 1.5 times the in-side city rate. It is not uncommon for cities to charge out-side city customers more for utility service. A rural utility system is typically older, under sized, and has fewer customers per linear foot of pipe. All these factors result in a higher maintenance cost for the rural portion of the system than for the more urban system located within the City limits. In addition, our rate structure reflects most, but not all of our utility operating costs. Administration and financial services such as accounting and budgeting are supported by the General Fund. The General Fund is funded by property taxes which out-of-city residents don't pay. Among our comparison and neighboring cities, Celina, Princeton, VanAlstyne, and Royse City charge a 1.5 multiplier for out-side city customers -Prosper charges a 2.0 multiplier. Although a 1.5 multiplier is not uncommon, we understand that the change to the City's rate structure and the addition of the multiplier will have a significant impact on the former South Grayson customers. The 325 customers we acquired from South Grayson is an unusually large number of out-side city customers for a city our size. Item No. City Secretary's use only RECOMMENDATION: If Council feels that a reduction of the multiplier is appropriate for all out-side city customers, staff recommends approval of Ordinance A. If the Council wishes to maintain the 1.5 multiplier for out-side city customers, then Staff recommends that it be phased in over time as outlined in Ordinance B.

This system will allow us to monitor and control our entire water system and will enable us to establish historical values and trending, resulting in a higher degree of efficiency. The system also allows for a quicker evaluation and response to problems as they arise. Purchase of the SCADA System was authorized as part of the GTUA South Take Point Project. Funding for the project is included in the bonds previously issued by GTUA for this water project. We are currently making payments on these bonds. We estimate the total cost ofthe system to be between $150,000 and $175,000. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The sole response we received to our RFP was from TracMn MTrol out of Georgetown, Texas. This company has sixteen years of experience with SCADA systems. We have reviewed their qualifications and are satisfied that they are capable of providing the system we have requested. A copy of the RFP and the response for Trac-n-Trol is available in the City Secretary's Office. If we are able to negotiate a satisfactory contract with this company, we will bring the final contract back to the Council for their approval.

SUMMARY: Proper annexation of areas adjacent to cities is often crucial to establishing and maintaining urban order and effective government. This is the position that Anna finds itself in with the land holdings of Annaland LTD and Wood Oak Hollow LLC. The potential growth of fringe areas can produce a complex pattern of government by multiple jurisdictions-city, county, and special districts-that can lead to administrative confusion, inefficiency, duplication, and excessive costs. Once this complex pattern becomes established, vested interests and sectional jealousies make change difficult, if not impossible. At the same time, economic and social ties between cities and their fringE;! areas can be strong. Outlying areas benefit in many ways from city parks and recreational facilities, streets, utilities, and other facilities and programs, often without contributing a proportionate share of the cost to the city. Moreover, suburban people may request services equivalent to those provided within the city and may recognize that their taxes and other costs (including utility costs and fire insurance premiums) in an unincorporated area are not necessarily lower and are often equal to, or greater than, those within the city. The property being proposed by this annexation is on the cities fringe and is within Anna's extra territorial Jurisdiction. Prior to the establishment of land uses and detailed planning the property needs to be annexed and zoned appropriately for the area. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve resolution to set public hearing dates.

SUMMARY: The City Council created Article 48 of Part II of the Code governing cost-recovery procedures and setting forth .rules and procedures in compliance with the Public Information Act ("the Act") including but not limited to requirements relating to estimates of costs to be provided to a Requestor. The rules adopted by the Council provide a 10-day time period for the City to furriish the estimate of costs, regardless of the type of costs being recovered. The Act allows for the City to narrow the 10-day requirement to apply only to estimates of costs related to charges for personnel time. The proposed amendment would narrow the requirement accordingly, allowing the City additional time if necessary to provide cost estimates for charges not related to personnel time. Having the option for a longer time period to provide the cost estimate as it relates to certain requests would be helpful in those instances where determining the estimate is burdensome and time consuming. RECOMMENDED: It is recommended that the Council adopt this ordinance.

(Jessica Perkins) SUMMARY: The CDC has entertained several· ideas regarding how to make Natural Springs Park accessible to the public from FM 455. Originally, the CDC was going to fund the construction of a road along the City's easement from FM 455 back to the park. Construction estimates for the road construction were very high (over $600,000); about three weeks ago the property owner of tracks 1, 2, and 3 of the attached map offered to sell the property. The purchase price for the property is $375,000 much less than the cost of the road. Additionally, the property has an established gravel road providing the necessary access to the park. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: We recommend that the Council approve the CDC's request to pw:chase the property for access to Natural Springs Park from FM 455.
