Mayor Moser declared a quorum present. II. CITIZENS' GENERAL DISCUSSION Council member Horton introduced Rick Murphy, recently hired by Stephenville Chamber of Commerce as its Executive Vice President. Murphy addressed the council saying that his background is primarily in industrial development and tourism. He said that he looks forward to working with the council for the betterment of the community. General Business Meeting— June 1, 1999 Stephenville City Council 252 Bobby Lane, 1350 North Rose Drive, Stephenville, asked the council to consider buying some "much needed" equipment for the library. He specifically requested a microfilm reader /printer machine. III. REPORT ON LAKE PROCTOR — BRAZOS RIVER AUTHORITY Sheryl Franklin and Denis Qualls from Brazos River Authority make a presentation on the water quantity and quality within Lake Proctor. (Attachments) Franklin opened with some basic information about the BRA. The BRA was created in 1929. It has developed surface water supplies throughout the Brazos Basin. Currently, the BRA has four reservoirs that they operate for water - supply -only purposes and the BRA owns the conservation space in the nine federal reservoirs. She explained that the BRA sells the firm yield out of the reservoirs. The firm yield is the amount of water that an engineering study shows can be supplied each year through a repeat of the driest period we have on record [drought of the 1950's] moved forward in the future to some sediment conditions. Currently at Lake Proctor, BRA has 4,214 acre feet of water that is not sold. The current price of the water which BRA has in the Lake Proctor is 6.3 cents per thousand gallons. IV. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION City Administrator Don Davis reviewed the procedure for abandoning a right of way. Jim Elliott, attorney for Jack Berry and Robert Bent', informed the council that he represents the Jack and Robert Berry, in the event the council had questions concerning this matter. MOTION by Wm. H. Stanley, seconded by Joel Hillin, to adopt Ordinance No. 1999- 10 closing a portion of Minnie Street. MOTION CARRIED by unanimous vote. Betty Chew, Director of Community Development, gave the report on the proposed rezoning application, subject of the public hearing to follow. A change of zoning from I "Industrial District" to R -3 "Multiple Family Residential District" is proposed for this 0.604 acre tract of land located in the 200 block of South Dale Avenue. Chew reported that the Comprehensive Plan's project land use for this property is industrial. The property is served from an existing six -inch water main extended from the West Gate Addition and from an eight -inch sanitary sewer main which runs east and west across the southern quadrant of the property. The property has frontage on South Dale Avenue, a 30 foot right of way. The property has minimal fire protection, and the closest fire hydrant is located on the southwest corner of Omaha and Choctaw in the West Gate Addition. The subject property is bound on all four sides by I "Industrial District" zoning. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that this request be denied. General Business Meeting— June 1, 1999 Stephenville City Council 253 Mayor Moser announced the opening of a public hearing to consider rezoning from I "Industrial District' to R -3 "Multiple Family Residential District', 0.604 acre, Wm. Motley Survey, Erath County, Texas, located in the 200 block of South Dale Avenue. Speaking in Support of the Rezoning: Cathern Brooks, 1159 Harbin Drive, Stephenville, Texas, is the owner of the subject property, asked the council to grant this rezoning. She listed the following reasons for her request: 1. "Industrial use is very limited. 2. All interest in property would be unacceptable under industrial zoning. 3. Area is not set up for industry: a. No fireplugs b. No wide streets. c. Surrounded on two sides by residential. d. Other zoning permits flexible use. e. Residential will sell readily, but few to no buyers for industrial. 4. Industrial development is unlikely. 5. No new industrial development in years. 6. New types of industry would likely be computer or light technology —this requires huge acres and near open highways and big airports. 7. Area could deteriorate because no uses for industrial area. 8. So isolated —could become blighted area. 9. Property was vacant last 4 -5 years. 10. No industrial offers —Not One!!!" John Hughes, 7720 Glen Rose Highway, Granbury, Texas, Alumni Corporation President for Zeta Beta Foundation of Kappa Delta Rho, spoke on behalf of the prospective purchasers of the subject property. Speaking in Opposition of the Rezoning: Joel Stephens, 260 South Dale, Stephenville, Texas, resides near subject property. He reminded the council that this area was designed as an industrial park and should remain as it is. Ruth Ann Stephens, 270 South Dale, Stephenville, Texas, stated that rezoning the property would devalue the property owned by her and her family. Mayor Moser closed the public hearing. General Business Meeting— June 1, 1999 Stephenville City Council 254 MOTION by Ed Horton, to adopt Ordinance No. 1999 -11 rezoning this property. Motion died for lack of a second. MOTION by Barbara Terrell, second by Joel Hillin, to deny the rezoning request. MOTION CARRIED by the following vote: Ayes: Council members Terrell, Shelton, Hillin, Stanley, Corbin, Jergins, and Marin. Noes: Council member Horton. Helen Martin, member of the sub - committee who has reviewed the Landscape Ordinance, addressed the council. She outlined the changes to the ordinance since it was last presented to the council. Mayor Moser announced the opening of a public hearing to consider amending the City of Stephenville Zoning Ordinance to provide landscape regulations. Speaking in Support of the Issue: None Speaking in Opposition of the Issue: James O. Bachus, POB 552, Stephenville, Texas, stated that the current policy works well does not need to be changed. He said that enacting this ordinance would be one more layer of bureaucracy. Also, he said that it would be difficult to enforce this ordinance. Mayor Moser closed the public hearing. During council discussion, Council member Shelton said that although he intended to be conciliatory towards this issue, that he feels that it is bureaucratic encroachment. MOTION by Bea Marin, seconded by Barbara Terrell, to refer the matter of the Landscape Ordinance to the Planning and Development Committee. MOTION CARRIED by unanimous vote. V. PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR SERVICES, FISCAL YEAR 1999 -2000 Lavinia Lohrmann, 898 N. Neblett, Stephenville, Texas, asked the council to consider adding a street sweeper to the budget for fiscal year 1999 -2000. General Business Meeting— June 1, 1999 Stephenville City Council 255 VI.

MOTION CARRIED by unanimous approval. VII. WATER PLANNING COMMITTEE REPORT Council member Terrell made this report as follows: At council's suggestion, staff recommended a formula to conserve water by possibly raising rates for those customers who use more water. Summer rates for those using up to 12,000 gallons would be $1.72; from 13,000 to 25,000 would be $2.72; from 26,000 to 50,000 would be $3.72; and 51,000 to 100,000 would be $4.72. It was also General Business Meeting— June 1, 1999 Stephenville City Council 256 recommended to reduce the amount to $1.47 for those customers who use only less than 5,000 gallons. Because of the programming set up for water bills, every customer would receive the reduced rate of $1.47 for the first 5,000 gallons. Davis reminded the council that the present structure provides that water customers pay $1.72 for the first 12,000 gallons, then $2.72 per thousand gallon over 12,000. MOTION by Rusty Jergins, seconded by Bea Marin, to table this matter and refer this back to the Water Planning Committee for further study and report to the next council meeting in June. MOTION CARRIED by the following vote: Ayes: Council members Horton, Terrell, Hillin, Stanley, Corbin, Jergins, and Marin. Noes: Council member Shelton. MOTION by Wm. H. Stanley, seconded by Marshall Shelton, to have the accounting office look into the possibility of simulating the new water rates predicated upon last year's use and utilizing the $1.47 rate for customer who use less than 5,000 gallons. MOTION FAILED by the following vote: Ayes: Council members Horton, Shelton, Stanley, Jergins. Noes: Council members Terrell, Hillin, Corbin, Marin, and Mayor Moser. Terrell continued with the report, saying that the committee also discussed the need for educating the public in regard to water conservation and outside irrigation. Concerning the contract with the Upper Leon River Municipal Water District, the city's negotiating team will review the contract once it has been received. Dr. Hughbert Collier made report on his long -range water supply study. Copy of his report is attached to these minutes. Terrell stated that the proposed contract with Floyd Pierce and Kenneth Lesley for sewer effluent would not be considered at this time. Pierce and Lesley asked that this matter be continued until a later time. VIII. FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT Council member Shelton reported that this committee discussed the hotel/motel tax policy and received the quarterly reports. Neither item requires council action at this time. The committee will continue to discuss the hotel /motel tax policy. Shelton reported that Linda Patterson, the city's investment counselor, has done a good job and that the average yield to maturity was 5.07% which compares to our benchmark of 4.51 %.

REVIEW THE DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLAN Mayor Moser stated that action taken by the council on this matter at the May 4' meeting has raised some questions by council members and citizens; therefore, it was brought back to the council for further discussion. Moser stated there are some areas which require clarification or altering. He said the force driving the conservation issue is that the City of Stephenville is unique among towns of its size in that it relies solely on a ground water supply of water. Moser said that while the quality of the water is something we all enjoy and appreciate, the quantity of it and our ability to produce it in the quantity required and demanded by residents and business is somewhat constrained. He said, "We need the assistance of the public in understanding the dilemma we face in trying to provide all of the water all of the time for all of the citizens and businesses in the quantities that we would like to provide it." Moser explained that we have a marginal ability during the peak summer usage to meet all of those demands. "Consequently, we are asking our fellow citizens assistance and understanding in helping us to constrain our consumption in the summer so that we don't end up with a serious water shortage as we approach the latter parts of the summer," the Mayor concluded. City Administrator Davis reported that the city has 26 wells, total. As of this date, four of those are down, and it is hoped that they will be back up in a short period of time. Davis continued, "When we operate those wells at 80% capacity which is the recommended operating standard, that the experts advise us, the wells are able to recover some of the water." If you rest the wells occasionally, the water level will come up which increases the production of the wells. This also minimized the opportunity of mechanical failure with the wells. When we follow the 80% level of operation, we have the capability of producing about 4.5 million gallons per day. During the summer months, consumption doubles from an average of about 2 million General Business Meeting— June 1, 1999 Stephenville City Council 259 gallons per day to 4 million gallons a day and more. As the demand increases and as we pump the wells, the water level does in fact drop, which then reduces the capacity of the wells. At that rate, the wells are incapable of maintaining that level of production for a sustained period of time. The Drought Contingency Plan, which is a part of the Water Management Plan was an effort to try to level the production and consumption so that we will be able to continue producing and not have to go into a more drastic measure like we did last year with water rationing programs. Citizens were then given the opportunity to speak on this matter as follows: Michael W. Waters, 1210 Meadowlark Lane, Stephenville, posed several rhetorical questions to the council. How did we get to the point that requires declaration of a water emergency when we have experienced near normal rainfall this year. How was the plan developed. Lavinia Lohrmann, 898 North Neblett, Stephenville, said more education is needed on the subject of water conservation. She also said that the Drought Contingency Plan does not work for every situation. She said an odd -even water rationing plan is fairer than a two- day -a -week plan. Betty Heath, 468 North Paddock, Stephenville, said the plants in her outdoor Japanese garden require different kinds of water patterns. She said the plan is too strict. Davis Waggoner, 1190 Isla, Stephenville, echoed the concerns already expressed. MOTION by Bea Marin, seconded by Marshall Shelton, to suspend the mandatory Phase I requirements and authorize the Mayor to institute Phase I as required by existing situations. MOTION CARRIED by unanimous vote. Council member Horton emphasized that we are in a crisis situation with the water supply. He said that we border on the edge in the winter and summer and that we need more water. Horton stated that he thinks higher water rates would diminish the consumption of water. Mayor Moser made additional comments on the subject. He said, "The fact is that most of us recognize that we have a marginal ability to meet our peak summertime demands as evidenced by the discussion we just completed. There are various ways of addressing this. One of them is to pursue additional options both for ground water and surface water. These same options have been suggested to us consistently by other experts who have examined our situation. We need to look both at expanding General Business Meeting— June 1, 1999 Stephenville City Council 260 our ground water options and our ground water production as well as our surface water options. I would ask if it is the desire of the council to consider some positive, concrete, definitive action that we might now begin to implement and try to improve both our ground water and/or our surface water supply for the City of Stephenville." Council member Terrell said that the city need someone to tells us which is the quickest, most cost - effective way to get more water —if it's drilling a new well field or adding onto the pipelines we have or building a pipeline to transport surface water from Lake Proctor. Council member Horton made the following "two -prong suggestion ": 1. "Direct staff to develop a plan to add up to four additional wells to our existing production. Staff shall present this plan to the Water Planning Committee within thirty days. 2. "Direct staff to continue efforts to secure a surface water option and report progress of these efforts within thirty days." "There are a lot of issues that surround that—whether you want to add new wells to existing pipeline, whether you want to add another pipeline to Stephenville, whether you want to lay pipeline for the lake water project. It could take as many as sixteen wells to equal the amount of water that the pipeline will bring in. You're talking about a bunch of money either way you go." MOTION by Ed Horton, seconded by Marshall Shelton, to direct staff to develop a plan to add up to four additional wells for existing production, staff shall present this plan to the Water Planning Committee within thirty days. MOTION CARRIED by the following vote: Ayes: Council members Horton, Shelton, Hillin, Stanley, Corbin, Jergins, and Mann. Noes: Council member Terrell. MOTION by Ed Horton, seconded by Joel Hillin, to direct staff to continue efforts to secure a surface water option and report progress of these efforts within thirty days. MOTION CARRIED by unanimous vote. XH. EXECUTIVE SESSION.
