N. Belknap, with the meeting being open to the public and notice of said

I. CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Lohrmann stated that the regular July meeting of the
City Council will not be held tonight because the meeting was not posted
as required. This is an emergency meeting to consider only one item on
the planned agenda and that is the Issuance of Utility Revenue Bonds and
the approval of an ordinance authorizing the issuance of such bonds. The
Texas Open Meetings Law provides for emergency meetings and the City
Attorney opinions this situation to fall within the guidelines of an
emergency meeting. Had we not made these decisions tonight, we would have
been required to readvertise the notice of the hearing and lose several
weeks of time. The EPA schedule does not allow for such possible delays.
I'm now calling this emergency meeting of the Council to order.
Boyd London, representing First Southwest Company, the City's financial
advisors, presented the Council with a comparative analysis of $7,680,000
Series 1993 -B, Utility System Revenue Bonds. Mr. London explained the
analysis and answered some questions from the Council pertaining to the
bonds.
