Mayor Grimmer stated that it would be up to the Council to make a decision but since the specific use permit required a public hearing the first time, it would seem to follow that a public hearing should be held to consider this request.

There was discussion on the ramification of changing the deed restriction on the property. Mayor Grimmer explained that if the deed restrictions were changed a public hearing would still be necessary to consider his request for amendments to the specific use permit. Councilman McClung stated that the specific use permit allowing the auto laundry and the selling of gasoline only is what the Council granted and had no intention of a service station on this property.

EXPLANATION: We have studied the following three alternate methods for Workmgns Compensation coverage: 1. Purchase coverage from an Insurance Company. - Plan 1 This coverage would cost an estimated $59,593.00 per year in premiums. The only requirement of the City would be proper reporting of all claims. If we should establish a recommended policy of paying full salary for job injuries and have the injured employee return all weekly checks to the City we would receive an estimated 61 weeks checks of $70.00 or $4,270.00. The net cost to the city would be: Premiums Paid $59,593.00 Less: Weekly refund (4,270.00) Less: Savings on Group Ins. (6,067.00) Net Cost to the City $49,256.00 2. Self-Insurance coverage. - Plan 2 This coverage would require excess Insurance coverage over a stipulated amount which is recommended to be $100,000.00. This excess coverage would cover all combined claims which were greater than the recommended figure which means our losses would never exceed the recommended figure during any single year. The $100,000.00 could be reduced to a smaller amount; however the cost of this coverage would increase greatly. The estimated ' R cost for the $100,000.00 would be $5,959.00. The cost for a self-insurance program are estimated as follows: Administration, Surety bond, e =ess Insurance and Safety Program $14,302.00 Estimated Claim Payments 12,000.00 26,302.00 Less: Savings on Group Insurance 6,067.00 Net cost to the City 20,235.00 3. Texas Municipal League Coverage. - Plan 3. This coverage would cost an estimated $48,000.00 per year in premiums. The only requirement of the City would be proper reporting of all claims. If we should establish a recommended policy of paying full salary for job injuries and have the injured employees return all weekly checks to the City we would receive an estimated $4,270.00. The net cost to the City would be: Premiums Paid Less: Weekly refund Less: Savings on Group Ins. Less: Estimated Premiums Dividends Net cost to the City $48,000.00 (4,270.00) (6,067.00) (11,520.00) $26,143.00 A recap of the net costs to the City are: Plan 1 $49,256.00 Plan 2 $20,235.00 Plan 3 $26,143.00 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended we use plan 3 and contract with the TML for our Workmens Compensation Coverage for t1m following reasons. 1. Under Plan 2 Losses could exceed the estimated $12,000.00 figure and the City would be responsible for all losses during any single year to a maximum of $100,000.00. 2. Under Plan 3 the estimated dividends are based on a minimum amount and the dividends could exceed the estimate; while a year at great losses would only eliminate the dividend. 3. Under Plan 2 claims would be investigated and paid by the City while under the other plans claims would be handled by people with many years experience. ACTION BY THE COUNCIL: A motion to authorize the City Manager to sign the attached Interlocal Agreement. There was discussion whether or not any residential property is enhanced by a widened thoroughfare. City Manager explained Ordinance 915 adopted by the City Council April 17, 1972 that sets out the policies of assessment procedures. After more discussion, a motion by Councilman McClung, a second by Councilman Linn, all voting "aye", adopted the following captioned Ordinance No. 1007: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH, TEXAS, APPROVING AND ADOPTING THE WRITTEN STATEMENT AND REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER, SHOWING THE ESTIMATES OF THE TOTAL COSTS OF ALL OF THE IMPROVEMENTS ON VALLEY VIEW LANE, THE ESTIMATES OF THE COST PER FOOT PROPOSED TO BE ASSESSED AGAINST THE ABUTTING PROPERTY, AND THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS THEREOF, WITHIN THE LIMITS HEREIN BELOW DESCRIBE AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING THERETO'; DETERMINING AND FIXING THE PORTION OF SAID COST AND THE RATE THEREOF PRO- POSED TO BE ASSESSED AGAINST AND PAID BY THE ABUTTING PROPERTY, AND THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS THEREOF; DETERMINING THE NECESSITY OF LEVYING AND ASSESSMENT AGAINST SAID ABUTTING PROPERTY, AND THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS THEREOF FOR THE PORTION OF SAID COSTS APPORTIONED TO THEM; ORDERING AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING IN FARMERS BRANCH AT 7:30 O'CLOCK P.M. ON THE 15 DAY OF JULY , 1974, IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS AT THE POLICE BUILDING OF FARMERS BRANCH, TEXAS, AS THE TIME AND PLACE FOR THE HEARING OF SAID ABUTTING PROPERTY AND ALL OTHERS INTERESTED IN SAID ABUTTING PROPERTY OR IN ANY OF THE PROCEEDINGS AND CONTRACT CONCERNING SAID ASSESSMENTS, PROCEEDINGS AND IMPROVEMENTS; DIRECTING THE CITY SECRETARY OF THE CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH, TEXAS, TO GIVE NOTICE OF SAID HEARING AS REQUIRED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND PROVIDING THAT THIS ORDINANCE SHALL TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY UPON ITS PASSAGE. AGENDA ITEM NO. 17. - CONSIDER ORDINANCE NO. 1008- SETTING RATES FOR CONTAINER OLLECTION. City Manager Paul West stated that the Administration had recently completed a survey of collection charges for the container system of garbage collection and revealed that the city of Farmers Branch charges are below those being charged by other cities, and sub- stantial lower than those charged by industrial disposal firms. Page 863. Mr. West presented Ordinance No. 1008 which sets new rates for container collection. He stated that the recommended charges are in line with those being charged with other cities and still well below those being charged by industrial firms. Mr. West stated that the increase cost of labor, equipment and materials make it necessary to increase revenue if garbage collection is to pay its own way. He stated that the residential charges are in line with those of other cities, and the use of the new trucks with the 2 men crews should keep costs in line with revenue. Mr. West stated that the new rate should increase the revenue by approximately $2,000.00 a month. There was a discussion that the purpose of raising these rates are not just to be in line with the surrounding cities but to be in line for the cost the City is having to put out in collec- tion of garbage. It was discussed that a letter should be sent to each one of the commercial accounts informing them of the increased cost in the garbage collection and explaining that even with this increase in cost the City is still in line with the surrounding neighboring cities; giving the date of the last increase; and, encourage them to look at these rates and their container size for their best benefit. City Manager Paul West stated that information concerning the new rates if adopted by the City Council wauld be in the new newsletter to the businessmen in Farmers Branch. After more discussion, a motion by Councilman Flaherty, a second by Councilman Linn, all voting "aye", adopted the following captioned Ordinance No. 1008; AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH, TEXAS, AMENDING SECTION 14-38 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH, TEXAS; PROVIDING MONTHLY RATES FOR THREE (3), FOUR (4), SIX (6), AND EIGHT (8) CUBIC YARD CONTAINERS; PROVIDING FOR A PENALTY NOT TO EXCEED TWO HUNDRED ($200.00) DOLLARS; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. AGENDA ITEM NO. 18. - DISCUSS NEW SANITATION TRUCKS. City Manager Paul West explained that the existing status of the residential sanitation trucks are: the City has received the two Chevrolet trucks, that were purchased on an emergency basis. They are now in operation and proving very successful. The City still has two Ford trucks that were ordered last August, and expect delivery in August this year. Mr. West stated that after further review of the situation, it is the opinion of the Administration that the City should except delivery of both trucks and operate 3 crews, using one truck as standby for emergencies and breakdowns . This will be a great asset in implementing good a good preventive maintainance program. The re- cent amendment to the minimum wage an hour bill placing municipal employees under its requirements, is an added reason Page 964. for having a standby truck. The City needs to do all it can to eliminate overtime operations due to breakdown of equipment. Mr. West stated that it was the recommendation of the Administration that the order for neither of these trucks be cancelled and that the City except delivery of both as soon as they are available. After a brief discussion, Mayor Grimmer stated that no action was required since these trucks are already authorized and on order by the City Council. AGENDA ITEM NO. 19. - CONSIDER SETTING SWIMMING POOL RATES FOR 1974 SEASON. The City Manager Paul West stated that at the beginning of the budget year the swimming pool cost had been estimated to be $28,000.00. He said that since the enactment of the minimum wage law the Administration now estimates the swimming pool costs will be $34,000.00. He stated that the rates for last year were 50~ per adult, 25~ for student, $7.50 per adult season tag, $6.00 per student season tag, $30.00 season tags for a family of five or more. Mr. West stated that under the existing rates the Administration anticipated an income of approximately $17,000.00. Mr. West stated that under 3 other rate structures with increases, the revenue could be increased to as much as $18,600.00. He stated that by using the highest rate study the City could come up with increased revenues only about $920.00. He stated that with this $18,000.00 revenue as compared to $34,000.00 expenditures the increase-in rates is so minimum that there is no particular advantage to adopting new rates. Mr. West stated that is was the recommendation of the City Administration that the swimming pool rates for the 1974 season be left the same as that of last year. After some discussion, a motion by Councilman Binford, a second by Councilman McClung, all voting "aye", adopted the swimming pool rates for 1974 season to be the same as that of last year.
