Mayor Blair gave the following information for consideration. Carl Foulds would like to operate a temporary sno cone stand on the parking lot of 2825 Valley View Lane, approximately 70 feet east of the Cox Video Superstore, in "The Corners" shopping center at the northwest corner of Valley View Lane and Josey Lane. Dr. Foulds has Vol. 64, Page 31 applied for a Specific Use Permit-Interim Use which would allow the sno cone stand to operate from May 1, 1993 through September 30, 1993. The Building Code Board of Appeals has granted a variance to allow the proposed portable building at this location through September 30, 1993. Dr. Foulds operated a temporary sno cone stand at this same location from April through September during 1991 and 1992. The Planning and Zoning Commission, by a 6 to 1 vote, recommends the Specific Use Permit-Interim Use to allow a temporary sno cone stand be approved with the condition that the portable building and all appurtenances be removed from the property within 7 days subsequent to the expiration of the Specific Use Permit. Mayor Blair opened the public hearing. Dr. Foulds came forward and stated the sno cone stand would be the same building as used in previous years. Dr. Foulds stated he has checked with Cox Video and they have no objection to his business locating in the shopping center. Dr. Foulds stated he hires local people and his business does generate sales tax for Farmers Branch. Dr. Foulds stated he has not received any customer complaints and the building would be removed at the end of the season. A motion by Councilman Pyle, a second by Councilman Moses, all voting "aye", closed the public hearing. Councilman Pyle stated Dr. Foulds was encouraged to look for a more permanent location after being approved last year. Councilman Pyle asked Dr. Foulds why he still had this type building. Dr. Foulds stated that no one had a site they wanted to sell him. Dr. Foulds stated the expense was also a problem and he had not located a site with good visibility. Councilman Pyle asked Dr. Foulds if he had considered an existing lease space in the same shopping center. Dr. Foulds stated the owners wanted a twelve month lease and the rent would be quite expensive. Dr. Foulds also explained this type business does not do as well when located in a lease space versus a free standing building. Councilman Pyle stated he felt this operation was an eyesore for five months of the year. Councilman Pyle stated he has been opposed to this operation from the beginning. Councilman Pyle made a motion to deny the request. The motion died for lack of a Vol. 64, Page 32 second.

C.3 PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDER REQUEST BY THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS FOR APPROVAL OF THE ALMA ADDITION, A REPLAT OF LOTS 6 AND 7, BLOCK A, SUNBECK CIRCLE ADDITION AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Mayor Blair stated that this item was continued from the City Council meeting of March 15, 1993. The subject property is a 2.0 acre tract located on the southern portion of Sunbeck Circle approximately 250 feet east of Josey Lane. The property is zoned One-Family Residence District-2 (R-2) and is the site of an existing church. The property owner wants to replat the property to move the building setback line from 50 feet to 30 feet and dedicate a utility easement. Five of the lots within the subdivision have previously been replatted with building setbacks of 30 feet. State law requires that a public hearing be held prior to action being taken on any replat within a residentially zoned subdivision. Notices of a public hearing to consider replatting were mailed to seventeen (17) property owners within the subdivision. Two (2) property owners responded. One, owning two lots is in favor of the replat and one is opposed because the subdivision was originally platted for residential use only. The Planning and Zoning Commission, by unanimous vote, recommends the replat be approved. Mayor Blair opened the public hearing. Vol. 64, Page 33 Mr. Don Vanderver, architect for the applicant, stated he would answer any questions from the City Council. A motion by Mayor Pro Tem Phelps, a second by Councilwoman Davis, all voting "aye", closed the public hearing. Mayor Blair asked if the City or the utility companies had required the utility easement. Mr. Vanderver stated they were dedicating the utility easement in anticipation of an addition to the building. Mr. Vanderver stated the building was built in 1973 and the utility easement was never dedicated. Mr. Vanderver stated TU Electric required the utility easement at this time. Mayor Pro Tem Phelps asked if there was currently a church on the property. Mr. Vanderver stated there is a church on the property and they would be adding an addition in the near future. Mayor Pro Tem Phelps asked if the addition to the church would be coming before the City Council. Mr. Vanderver stated the church would not be required to go before City Council again, only to the Building Inspection Department for a permit. Mr. Tom Scales, Director of Community Services, stated no site plan approval is required for this property. A motion by Councilwoman Davis, a second by Councilman Moses, all voting "aye", approved the Alma Addition, a replat of Lots 6 & 7, Block A, Sunbeck Circle Addition. CA CONSENT. D.1 CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 93-059 DESIGNATING TEXAS COMMERCE BANK, DALLAS - FARMERS BRANCH AS THE CITY'S DEPOSITORY BANK AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A DEPOSITORY CONTRACT AND TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Mayor Blair gave the following information for consideration. The term of the City's depository contract with First City Bank recently expired. Requests for proposals were sent to all banks operating in Farmers Branch. Proposals were received from Bank One and Texas Commerce Bank (formerly First City). Based on the criteria used to evaluate the proposals, both banks are capable of serving as the City's Depository. Texas Commerce Bank proposed the lowest cost of Vol. 64, Page 34 approximately $2,525 per month or $30,300 annually. The 1992-93 budget contains $30,000 for depository services. Actual cost will be based on the level of activity each month. First City served as the City's Depository for a number of years and provided excellent service. Under the existing contract and the proposed contract all money in the City's bank accounts is either insured by the FDIC or collateralized by government securities held by a third party bank. Additionally, all City bank accounts are interest bearing accounts. Resolution No. 93-059 designates Texas Commerce Bank as the City's Depository Bank and authorizes the City Manager to enter into a two year depository contract with Texas Commerce Bank. Staff recommends adopting Resolution No. 93-059 designating Texas Commerce Bank as the City's Depository Bank and authorizing the City Manager to enter into a two year depository contract. Mayor Pro Tem Phelps asked if the memorandum received by City Council contained the correct figures under the financial stability section. Mayor Pro Tem Phelps stated Bank One has assets of $1.3 billion and Texas Commerce Bank had assets of only $2.9 million. Mayor Pro Tern Pro Phelps stated he had a problem with these figures if they were correct. Mr. Charles Cox, Director of Finance, stated he did not have the figures with him and could check the figures. Mr. Cox stated the bond ratings were correct. Mayor Pro Tem Phelps stated the interest rate was 3.46% and asked the approximate figure it would bring in to off set the cost. Mr. Cox stated the City keeps between $250,000 to $300,000 in the bank and approximately $9,000 is brought in which does not quite off set the difference. Mayor Blair asked if that was all the city kept in the bank. Mr. Cox stated that generally on a day to day basis only this amount is kept in the City's checking account. Mayor Pro Tem Phelps explained the memorandum states all city accounts are interest bearing and should be on the total amount. Mr. Cox stated that anything over that amount the city invests in a repo, local government investment pool, T-Bill or something with a longer term and higher interest rate. Vol. 64, Page 35 Mayor Blair asked if the City still does this through the bank. Mr. Cox stated the City does this separate from the bank. After more discussion, City Manager Richard Escalante stated the City Council authorized a number of options for City investments when the investment program was approved. Mr. Escalante explained State law was passed mandating the City to have a formal investment policy. Mr. Escalante stated that investment program outlined a number of places the City can place assets and the city does not do these all through the bank. Mr. Escalante stated in prior years cities kept large amounts of money in banks that were federally insured or had securities pledged to them. Mr. Escalante stated that this was an off set for the services they provided. Mr. Escalante stated that when paying on a cash basis for the services, the City can keep the amount of money it has invested in the bank at a minimum if Farmers Branch can invest elsewhere at a higher rate of interest. Mr. Escalante explained the City keeps a minimum balance, not in terms of minimum deposits that banks require, but relative to city assets the City keeps a minimum amount in the bank when higher interest can be earned elsewhere. Mayor Blair stated this is mainly the charges for services such as check charges and transfer fees. Mr. Cox stated this was correct. Mayor Pro Tem Phelps stated he would still like to know about the $1.3 billion to $2.9 million difference. Mayor Blair asked if Mayor Pro Tem Phelps wanted this item tabled for further discussion. Mr. Escalante stated that if the City Council would table until later in the meeting, Staff will check the records and get the right figures. Mr. Boyle stated the City Council did not need to table this item but could continue with the other agenda items and return to this item when the information is located. This item is continued until after Agenda Item D.7. D.2 CONSENT. D.3 CONSENT.

Councilman Moses asked if the City still continues to purchase vehicles through the State contract. Mr. Don Moore, Director of Equipment Services, stated these vehicles on this bid were mid-size and were not available on the State contract. Mr. Moore stated the State contract had only full size vehicles. Mayor Blair asked if these six mid-size police sedans are different than the Ford sedans the City is currently using. Mr. Moore stated the City is currently using full-size Ford sedans. A motion by Mayor Pro Tem Phelps, a second by Councilman Moses, all voting "aye", adopted Resolution No. 93-053 awarding the bid for three replacement trucks to Prestige Ford in the amount of $70,775.00, and the bid for six mid-size police sedans to Westway Ford in the amount of $71,037.00, for a total cost of $141,812.00.

Mayor Blair stated he testified in favor of this bill. Mayor Blair stated that House Bill 1538 involves sales tax. Mayor Blair stated the City of Farmers Branch sponsored this bill. Mayor Blair stated the bill would allow cities to receive more detailed sales and use tax information. Mayor Blair stated this information will help Farmers Branch in preparing future budgets, and the differences in the month to month sales tax figures the City of Farmers Branch receives. D.1 CONTINUED. Mr. Cox stated there was a typographical error and the figures should be Bank One with $13.1 billion in assets and Texas Commerce Bank with $2.9 billion in assets. Councilwoman Davis asked if all City money was insured. Mr. Cox stated it was either federally insured or collateralized. Mayor Pro Tem Phelps stated there was still a significant difference.
