Proposed signage will be limited to one illuminated wall sign twenty four (24) square feet in area facing Inwood Road. The Planning and Zoning Commission, by unanimous vote, recommends the Specific Use Permit be granted with the condition that signage identifying the business be limited to the words "Elite Therapy." Mayor Blair opened the public hearing. Ms. Paula VanFleck, representing Tara Group, the management company for the property, expressed her appreciation for the temporary SUP the City Council granted but the owners were not willing to spend money on Ms. Conaway's lease space without final approval and therefore Ms. Conway has not been in operation.

There being no one else wishing to speak in favor of or in opposition to the request, a motion by Councilman Pyle, a second by Councilman Moses, all voting "aye", closed the public hearing.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH, TEXAS, AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH, TEXAS, AS HERETOFORE AMENDED; BY AMENDING THE ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION OF THE 10.866 ACRE TRACT OF LAND GENERALLY BOUNDED BY WEBB CHAPEL ROAD TO THE EAST, A DRAINAGE CHANNEL AND MAYBROOK DRIVE TO THE SOUTH AND THE CRESTBROOK ESTATES ADDITION TO THE Vol. 64, Page 112 WEST AND NORTH, FROM ONE FAMILY RESIDENCE-4 (R-4) TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT NUMBER SIXTY-NINE (PD-69); ESTABLISHING DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR PD-69; PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR A PENALTY OF FINE NOT TO EXCEED TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,000.00); AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. C.5 PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDER AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE RELATIVE TO THE ISSUANCE AND REGULATION OF SPECIFIC USE PERMITS ALLOWING THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN QUALIFYING RESTAURANTS LOCATED ON THOSE PROPERTIES ZONED LOCAL RETAIL-2 (LR-2) AND WHICH ARE BOUNDED BY VALWOOD PARKWAY, DENNIS LANE, FARMERS BRANCH PARK AND JOSEY LANE AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Mayor Blair gave the following information for consideration. At its February 15, 1993 meeting the City Council amended the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance regulations pertaining to the sale of alcoholic beverages in restaurants and private clubs located in the commercial and industrial areas on the city's perimeter. At that time Council directed the Planning and Zoning Commission to identify areas within the central part of the city where the sale of alcohol in restaurants might be feasible and to develop appropriate regulations for those areas. One of two areas the Commission has identified where the sale of alcoholic beverages in restaurants would be appropriate includes those properties zoned Local Retail-2 (LR-2) and bounded by Valwood Parkway to the north, Josey Lane to the west, Dennis Lane to the east, and Farmers Branch Park and the PD-3 zoning district to the south. The Planning and Zoning Commission, by unanimous vote, recommends the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance be amended to allow alcohol sales in the above described area, subject to the same regulations that are currently in place under Ordinance 1986 with the following exceptions: 1. Bars shall be prohibited. Alcoholic beverages shall only be served table side, from the kitchen, or from other normal food service areas. 2. The 300 foot proximity rule shall not be applicable. This requirement would otherwise prohibit any restaurant serving alcohol from locating within 300 feet of a residential zoning district, church, school, or public park as measured from the restaurant's front door and at 90 degree angles along the centerlines of public streets. 11 Vol. 64, Page 113 3. Alcoholic beverages shall only be served in conjunction with food service. Mayor Blair stated that City staff recommends the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance not be amended to allow alcohol sales within this area. Mayor Blair opened the public hearing. Mr. Keith Little stated he had been in the bowling business for 34 years. Mr. Little stated he had originally developed the Valwood Bowling Lanes to Farmers Branch. Mr. Little stated bowling alleys were no longer called alleys and were now referred to as bowling centers. Mr. Little stated if he were to put in a bowling center on Valwood it would be an asset to Farmers Branch. Mr. Little encouraged the City Council to visit centers he had built in other cities. Mr. Little stated the City of Euless had not allowed alcohol in their city for over 25 years. Mr. Little explained that after the Euless City Council visited another bowling center they gave him a permit to serve alcohol. Mr. Little stated 65 % of business was from bowling, 20 % from alcohol and 15 % from food. Mr. Little explained the cost to build a bowling center is very prohibitive. Mr. Little stated people in Farmers Branch need a place to relax and have fun. Mr. Little stated he may be interested in renovating the Valwood Lanes. Mr. Little stated the Planning and Zoning Commission asked him to come tonight to answer any questions the City Council may have. Mr. Jerry Hays, Pastor of Valwood Park Baptist Church, asked if this request to allow alcohol in the area was because of declining business in the area. Mayor Blair stated this was the primary reason for this request. Mr. Hays stated he could sympathize with this. Mr. Hays stated the economy of our City was of great concern. Mr. Hays stated he enjoys restaurants such as the ones located in Addison but would like the City Council to investigate if the City really wants this type use in Farmers Branch. Ms. Tracey Snoyer stated she lives at 2956 Valley View and moved to Farmers Branch because she felt safe. Ms. Snoyer explained she had picked up debris from the shopping center just west of her house. Ms. Snoyer stated Valley View is a very busy street and felt that drivers leaving restaurants in the area after drinking would cause accidents on Valley View. Ms. Snoyer explained she has seen how alcohol is abused and hoped the City Council would not approve this request. Mrs. Irene Wright, 2908 Lavita, stated Farmers Branch was a family type community. Mrs. Wright stated this was the fourth appearance about this issue. Mrs. Wright stated we have an excellent school system, and a well managed City and she would like to see it kept that way. Mrs. Wright stated alcohol is the number one drug of abuse. Mrs. Vol. 64, Page 114 Wright felt alcohol would not help the shopping centers because the problem was much deeper. Mrs. Wright felt the owners of the shopping centers would have to make extensive repairs before the area shows more improvement. Mrs. Wright asked the City Council to not consider approving this request. A motion by Mayor Pro Tem Davis, a second by Councilman Phelps, all voting "aye closed the public hearing. Mayor Blair explained the brief history on how this particular situation came about. Mayor Blair stated some years ago the City of Farmers Branch was dry and the City conducted a survey and as a result of that survey several citizens commented on why Farmers Branch did not have quality restaurants and why alcohol could not be served in Farmers Branch. Mayor Blair stated a petition was circulated seven or eight years ago to put alcohol on the ballot. Mayor Blair stated he thought the item would be defeated; however, it was passed by an overwhelming margin. Mayor Blair stated the City does have the ability to control the sale of alcohol within the City limits by specific use permits and boundary lines. Mayor Blair stated that once the City allowed alcohol the City could not restrict the sale of certain types of alcohol such as just beer or wine. Mayor Blair stated the City could restrict who sold alcohol such as liquor stores and limits the sale only to restaurants for on premise consumption. Mayor Blair stated that in the neighborhood meetings the City asked what people would feel if the City proposed a very restricted ordinance for the central part of Farmers Branch to allow the sale of alcohol to help bring business to Farmers Branch. Mayor Blair stated the sale of alcohol is not the answer but may be a part of the solution. Mayor Blair stated as a City, we can fix some but not all of the problems. Mayor Blair explained the City is preparing to reconstruct Josey Lane. Mayor Blair stated the corners of Josey Lane and Valley View Lane will become more attractive after the reconstruction. Mayor Blair explained the City has ordinances which will help keep the shopping centers free of potholes, roof leaks and kept clean. Mayor Blair stated the Texas Restaurant Association has told the City it will never be another Addison or Walnut Hill and 135. Mayor Blair explained the Texas Restaurant Association has told Council that by allowing alcohol it will be to the advantage of smaller restaurant owners. Mayor Blair stated this will bring traffic volume to the area which is what the retailer's need. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated this agenda item was for the Valwood area and not the Valley View Lane and Josey Lane area. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated she had concerns in the Valwood area of Farmers Branch to allow alcohol. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated if an applicant came in with a viable plan she would have no problem with hearing the request on an individual basis. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that once the City Council approved the sale of alcohol in the area the City could not take it away. Vol. 64, Page 115 Mayor Pro Tem Davis made a motion to deny the consideration of allowing alcohol sales in the Valwood Parkway area. Councilman Phelps seconded the motion. Further discussion by the City Council continued. Councilman Moses explained he was informed that only beer and wine could be served but was told in study session that you could not limit the type alcohol served. Councilman Moses would like to see any existing busines, stay in business. Councilman Moses stated the City has to do something but did not feel that this was the answer. Councilman Moses stated he does not believe a drink with a meal can cause a person to become drunk. Councilman Moses stated he could not support the amendment. Mayor Blair stated this area of Farmers Branch including the bowling alley is a great concern of the City. Mayor Blair stated the Kroger grocery store hides the bowling alley and this causes a problem for potential tenants. Mayor Blair stated the City Council could not make the food to beverage ratio 60:40, then change their mind and make it 80:20. Mayor Blair stated the layout of this area is the problem and does not see anything the City could do to help the layout. Mayor Blair stated he could not support this request. Councilman Moses stated he would like to point out that the Planning and Zoning Commission has worked very hard and spent many hours on this project. Councilman Moses stated he appreciated the Planning and Zoning Commission for their hard work. Mayor Blair called for the motion again. A motion by Mayor Pro Tem Davis, a second by Councilman Phelps, all voting "aye", to not amend the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance to allow alcohol sales within properties zoned Local Retail-2 (LR-2), bounded by Valwood Parkway, Dennis Lane, Farmers Branch Park and Josey Lane. C.6 PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDER AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE RELATIVE TO THE ISSUANCE AND REGULATION OF SPECIFIC USE PERMITS ALLOWING THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN QUALIFYING RESTAURANTS ON THOSE PROPERTIES ZONED LOCAL RETAIL- 1 (LR-1), LOCAL RETAIL-2 (LR-2), PD-6, PD-29, PD-7 AND PD-8 AND GENERALLY LOCATED AT OR NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF VALLEY VIEW AND JOSEY LANE AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Mayor Blair gave the following information for consideration. At its February 15, 1993 meeting, City Council amended the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance regulations pertaining to the sale of alcoholic beverages in restaurants and private clubs located in Vol. 64, Page 116 the commercial and industrial areas of the city's perimeter. At that time, Council directed the Planning and Zoning Commission to identify areas within the central part of the city where the sale of alcohol in restaurants might be feasible and to develop appropriate regulations for those areas. Properties in the vicinity of the Valley View Lane and Josey Lane intersection, including only those properties zoned LR-1, LR-2, PD-6, PD-7, PD-8, and PD-29, comprise the second of the two areas the Commission has identified where the sale of alcoholic beverages in restaurants would be appropriate. The Planning and Zoning Commission, by unanimous vote, recommends the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance be amended to allow alcohol sales in the above described area, subject to the same regulations that are currently in place under Ordinance 1986 with the following exceptions: Bars shall be prohibited. Alcoholic beverages shall only be served table side, from the kitchen, or from other normal food service areas. 2. The 300 foot proximity rule shall not be applicable. This requirement would otherwise prohibit any restaurant serving alcohol from locating within 300 feet of a residential zoning district, church, school, or public park as measured from the restaurant's front door and at 90 degree angles along the centerlines of public streets. 3. Alcoholic beverages shall only be served in conjunction with food service. Mayor Blair stated that City staff recommends the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance be amended to allow alcohol sales within this area subject to the same regulations established under Ordinance 1986, which revised provisions for alcohol sales on the city's perimeter, except that bars be prohibited and an 80:20 food to alcohol sales ratio be imposed. Mayor Blair opened the public hearing. Mr. Mark Andres, owner of the shopping center at the northeast corner of Valley View Lane and Josey Lane, stated he was excited about the Josey Lane and Valley View reconstruction. Mr. Andres stated he could not lease this property to a Bennigan's, Good Eats or any other restaurant if this amendment is not passed. Mr. Andres stated the restaurants mentioned will not even consider leasing a building without being allowed to serve alcohol. Mr. Andres stated he hoped the City Council would pass this ordinance. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that she lived in this area. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that she felt this corner was a different issue. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated the Director Vol. 64, Page 117 of Economic Norma Nichols will be starting a program with the merchants in the area to increase traffic. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated City Council had agreed to increase the landscaping in the area, and obtain easements to install the landscaping. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated the City will target the 80,000 people who work in the area to shop in Farmers Branch. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated City staff will be working to enforce code violations in the area. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated this amendment would not allow stores like 7-11 or Albertson's to sell packaged alcoholic beverages. Mayor Pro Tem Davis made a motion to adopt Ordinance 2062, Councilwoman Hardie seconded the motion. Councilman Pyle stated the Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended the 300 foot proximity rule be deleted. Councilman Pyle stated he was curious why the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended it be deleted. Mr. Michael Spicer stated the manner in which the rule is applied is the reason the Planning and Zoning Commission felt it should be taken out. Mr. Spicer stated due to the setbacks a restaurant could meet the requirement and be located next to a church. Mr. Escalante stated that a recent court decision had decided how the proximity rule was to be applied. Mr. Escalante stated staff felt with the proximity rule in the ordinance this would prohibit a restaurant serving alcohol to be located next to a City park. Councilman Pyle asked if the maker of the motion would leave in the 300 foot proximity rule. Mayor Pro Tern Davis asked how this would affect the Sizzler. Mr. Spicer stated the Sizzler is located in a Planned Development district and would not be affected by the proximity rule. Mayor Pro Tem Davis withdrew her motion. Councilman Phelps stated he does not agree with allowing alcohol in this area. Councilman Phelps stated restaurants such as Marshall's do a good business because they serve good food. Councilman Phelps stated the Alcohol Committee had promised to keep alcohol west of 135 and east of Marsh Lane when they considered allowing alcohol in Farmers Branch. Councilman Phelps stated that no new restaurants to date have requested to open in Farmers Branch. Councilman Phelps stated this issue should not be forced on the residents in this area. Councilwoman Hardie asked Mr. Spicer the clarify what areas would not be affected by the 300 foot proximity rule.

D.1 CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 93-094 AWARDING THE BID FOR PAVING AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS TO JOSEY LANE FROM LBJ FREEWAY TO VALLEY VIEW LANE INTERSECTION TO XIT PAVING AND CONSTRUCTION, INC. AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Vol. 64, Page 119 Mayor Blair presented the following information for consideration. The Josey Lane improvements from LBJ Freeway to Valley View intersection are budgeted in the total amount of $4,080,000. The improvements include replacement of the existing asphalt road with concrete, and installation of storm drainage, water and sanitary sewer improvements, street lights, traffic signals and landscaping and irrigation systems. The cost for design, materials testing, street lights, landscaping, and irrigation is $430,430.00. The amount available for construction is $3,649,570.00. Four bids were received and opened on May 21, 1993. The low bidder was XIT Paving and Construction Inc. submitting a bid of $3,393,824.28 with contract time of 640 calendar days. XIT Paving and Construction, Inc. has provided adequate qualifications and references for similar work. They have successfully completed work for the cities of Irving, Garland, Plano and Farmers Branch. The construction of the landscaping and irrigation system is not part of this contract; however, it will be constructed under a separate contract, which will bid in May 1994 with construction completed by June, 1995. The City Engineer recommends awarding the bid for paving and drainage improvements to Josey Lane from LBJ Freeway to Valley View Lane intersection to XIT Paving and Construction Inc. in the amount of $3,393,824.28. A motion by Councilman Pyle, a second by Councilman Phelps, all voting "aye", approved Resolution 93-094 awarding the bid for paving and drainage improvements to Josey Lane from LBJ Freeway to Valley View Lane intersection to XIT Paving and Construction Inc. in the amount of $3,393,824.28. D.2 CONSIDER ORDINANCE NO. 2056 GRANTING A STREET USE AND RENTAL AGREEMENT TO METROPOLITAN FIBER SYSTEMS OF DALLAS, INC. FOR THE PURPOSE OF OPERATING A FIBER OPTICS NETWORK WITHIN THE CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH AND TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Mayor Blair presented the following information for consideration. Metropolitan Fiber Systems of Dallas, Inc. (MFS), has approached the City of Farmers Branch and desires to enter into a street use and rental agreement with the City of Farmers Branch to provide a Fiber Optics Network within the City of Farmers Branch. Ordinance No. 2056 would provide for such an agreement. The Fiber Optics Network would initially provide telecommunications services to businesses on the east and west side of Farmers Branch and would be part of a proposed expansion of services by Metropolitan Fiber Systems of Dallas, Inc. which would span 91 miles. The expansion would link areas of Farmers Branch, Plano, Richardson, Vol. 64, Page 120 Carrollton, Addison and Dallas. Currently, Metropolitan Fiber System of Dallas, Inc. operates over 30 miles of fiber optics in the City of Dallas. Metropolitan Fiber System of Dallas, Inc. provides their customers with telecommunication services including voice, video, high-speed data and systems integration. The street use and rental agreement prevents them from offering Cable Television service unless a Cable Franchise is applied for and granted separately. The street use and rental agreement provides a 5% street use and rental fee based on gross receipts generated in Farmers Branch. The length of the agreement is ten years. Representatives from Metropolitan Fiber System of Dallas, Inc. will be present to discuss this item. City staff recommends approval of Ordinance 2056 granting a street use and rental agreement to Metropolitan Fiber System of Dallas, Inc. Mayor Blair stated there is a minor problem with the ordinance and staff recommends this item be tabled until June 22, 1993. A motion by Mayor Blair, a second by Councilman Moses, all voting "aye", tabled this item until June 22, 1993. D.3 CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 93-102 AUTHORIZING THE EMERGENCY EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SANITARY SEWER AT THE HISTORICAL PARK WITH MOSS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC. AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Mayor Blair presented the following information for consideration. At the Council Study Session on May 17, 1993, City staff briefed Council on the condition of the 24" sanitary sewer line running through the Historical Park. The Council instructed staff to proceed with advertising and receiving bids for replacement of the sewer. Council was informed that the bidding and awarding process would result in construction occurring in late July and early August with an estimated cost for the work in the amount of $85,000.00. On Thursday, May 27, unstable soil conditions adjacent to the existing sanitary sewer were encountered for the third time while constructing a retaining wall. The area was immediately backfilled to prevent another failure of the sewer as had happened with the first two incidents. Prior to backfilling, cracks were observed in the 35 year old concrete pipe which indicates that the pipe has structural failure. The creek bank throughout the Historical Park is generally unstable. The sanitary sewer is located within that creek bank. The unstable banks, the condition of the pipe and the Vol. 64, Page 121 recent incidents provide ample information to predict that the next major rainfall event could cause other slope failures resulting in sewage flowing into the creek. The Engineering Department and Public Works Department personnel recommend that immediate action is necessary to eliminate this high potential for environmental problems with significant cleanup cost. To date, the cost for repairs to the sewer and protective sheeting due to unstable soil, is approximately $44,275.00. To enable the last section of retaining wall to be constructed it is estimated that additional protection to the sewer line will cost $15,000.00 to $25,000.00. Because of the urgency, staff contacted two contractors that were known to be reputable and to have the expertise, the personnel, and the equipment to perform the work. Staff recommends Moss Construction Company, Inc. on the basis that the company could begin work seven days sooner and could complete the work in five less working days than the other contractor. Moss' price was $3,700.00 higher than the other contractor; however, Moss' schedule substantially reduces the City's exposure to environmental problems and cleanup costs. Staff has negotiated an agreement with Moss Construction Company, Inc. to replace the sanitary sewer through the Historical Park at a cost of $76,240.00. This work could begin June 14 with completion in 15 working days. The scope of work includes conformance to trench safety requirements mandated under State law. Hydromulching and removal and reinstallation of two light poles would be performed under a separate contract at an estimated cost of $3,000.00. The Sanitary Sewer Bond Fund Contingencies has $68,700.00 available from earned interest and the Utilities Division has a balance of approximately $84,200.00 available in the utility budget. These two sources would be used to fund the project. The expenditures would be exempt from competitive bidding under Local Government Code, Section 252.002 (2) and (3), if City Council concurs that an emergency exists, and approves the attached resolution. The City Engineer and the Director of Public Works recommend entering into an agreement with Moss Construction Company, Inc. to replace the sanitary sewer at the Historical Park for the amount of $76,240.00. A motion by Councilwoman Hardie, a second by Mayor Pro Tem Davis, all voting "aye", approved Resolution 93-102 entering into an agreement with Moss Construction Company, Inc. to replace the sanitary sewer at the Historical Park for the amount of $76,240.00. L.J Vol. 64, Page 122 DA CONSIDER RESOLUTION NO. 93-091 RELATIVE TO APPROVAL OF THE PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS AND ALIGNMENT FOR THE EASTSIDE INTERCEPTOR TUNNEL AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Mayor Blair presented the following information for consideration. Farmers Branch and Addison have entered into an interlocal agreement to construct the Eastside Interceptor Sewer System. The design of the first segment of the system, which is the Eastside Interceptor Tunnel, has been completed. The design was performed by the engineering firm of Consoer Townsend & Associates. In accordance with the interlocal agreement, the plans and specifications are to be approved by the governing bodies of Addison and Farmers Branch prior to commencement of construction. The alignment of the interceptor sewer is also to be approved by Farmers Branch prior to obtaining easements. The Eastside Interceptor Tunnel consists of installation of 22,390 LF of 60" pipe with manholes, using both open cut trenching and tunneling. The sewer traverses from the west City limits at LBJ Freeway, through the City Pointe Northwest Property across Stemmons Freeway, continuing through City property and public streets to Valley View Lane at Tom Field, then along Valley View to Marsh Lane and continuing north adjacent to Marsh Lane within Brookhaven Community College property to Farmers Branch Creek. The Eastside Interceptor Tunnel cost including design, testing, inspection, and contract administration is estimated to be $20,000,000. The total cost of the Eastside Interceptor Sewer System, including the tunnel and conventional lines, is $27,000,000. Addison's share of the cost is $13,000,000. Farmers Branch's share of the cost is $14,000,000. The schedule for the tunnel construction is that bids will be received in July, 1993; construction will begin in November, 1993, and completion will be in October, 1995. The schedule for the conventional lines is that design will begin this summer. Construction of the conventional lines is expected to begin mid 1994 with completion of the entire system by mid 1996. The City Engineer recommends adoption of Resolution No. 93-091 approving the plans, specifications and alignment for the Eastside Interceptor Tunnel. A motion by Councilman Phelps, a second by Mayor Pro Tem Davis, all voting "aye", adopted Resolution No. 93-091 approving the plans, specifications and alignment for the Eastside Interceptor Tunnel. D.5 CONSENT Vol. 64, Page 123 D.6 CONSENT D.7 CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 93-054 AUTHORIZING THE WRITE- OFF OF UNCOLLECTIBLE WATER AND SEWER BILLINGS IN THE AMOUNT OF $249,525.94 AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Mayor Blair presented the following information for consideration. During the May 17, 1993, City Council Study Session Meeting, staff discussed proposed utility account collection and write-off procedures. The City records an average of $36,000 annually as water and sewer account bad debt expense, which represents less than 1/2% of total water and sewer receivables. The City has not written-off its uncollectible bad debt expenses since 1985, resulting in an allowance balance of $249,525.94. Writing off these accounts does not relieve customers of their obligation to pay. City staff recommends adopting Resolution No. 93-054 authorizing the write-off of uncollectible water and sewer billings in the amount of $249,525.94. A motion by Mayor Blair, a second by Councilman Moses, all voting "aye", adopted Resolution No. 93-054 authorizing the write-off of uncollectible water and sewer billings in the amount of $249,525.94.
