HomeMy WebLinkAboutCouncil Memo 01.26.1987 for your information to: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL from: RING COLE, CITY MANAGER k<c date: JANUARY 26, 1987 subject: COUNCIL MEMO 1. TML LEGISLATIVE MEETING We have made reservations for each member of the City Council to attend the TI"IL Legislative meeting on February 2nd. We have made hotel reservations in the Marriott Hotel for the evening of February lst. This is the same hotel in which the meeting will be held. I recognize that a couple of you were tentative on your ability to make this meeting. Should you find out that you definitely will not be able to attend please let us know so we can cancel the reservations. Fred Brown has offered to transport everyone to Austin and back in his "bus ". I would suggest to you that we leave at approximately 3:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. If we plan to leave later than that I think we will have to make a late guarantee on the hotel rooms. We will follow up with you later to finalize the travel arrangements. 2. MEETING OF THE AD HOC COMMITTEE ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT I think all of you are aware that a committee has been formed to further study the feasibility of consolidating the economic development activities of the cities of Bryan and College Station and the Brazos County Industrial Foundation. That committee met for the first time last week at the Chamber of Commerce offices. Mayor Ringer and I serve on that committee along with the Chairman of the City of College Station Economic Development Foundation. The first meeting was held and it was primarily an organizational meeting to determine when the committee will meet and where it will meet. As the committee begins to discuss more substantive issues I will try to keep you abreast of the progress through this Council memo. 3. SOCIAL SERVICES FUNDING COMMITTEE I have previously discussed with the Council the concept of developing a Social Services Funding Committee. As you know the federal and state sources of funds for social service activities are drying up. I anticipate that more and more requests will be coming to the local agencies for funding. I think this will place a tremendous burden on the City Council at budget time if you don't establish some mechanism for handling it. I have previously suggested that you establish a fixed amount of money each year that will go to social services funding and to then appoint a committee to hold hearings with the agencies to determine how to OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER COUNCIL MEMO JANUARY 26, 1986 PAGE 2 disseminate that money. That activity, budget requests, will be beginning soon and I wanted to remind the Council of the possible problems you might encounter. 4. COUNCIL BUDGET RECOMMENDATIONS I took notes at last Thursday's Council meeting on the issues that the City Council identified during the preliminary budget recommendations agenda item. I have put that in the form of a memo to all department heads and I am including a copy of that memo with this memo for your review. If this memo does not mention something that you would like to see considered in the upcoming budget then please bring it to my attention as soon as possible. If the memo does not correctly state your recommendation from last Wednesday then please bring that to my attention so I can correct it. 5. BUY LOCAL POLICY I recently read a newspaper clipping from the Denison Herald newspaper. This newspaper clipping was about the travails of the Denison, Texas City Council as they attempted to implement a "buy local" policy in their purchasing procedures. I am including a copy of this newspaper clipping for your information. I thought that you might find it interesting to see that your counterparts in other cities around the state are struggling with some of the same difficult issues as you are here in College Station. 6. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT REPORT Included with the memo is a copy of the latest Capital Improvements Program Quarterly Report. This report is a comprehensive restatement of all of the cities current capital projects. The report also indicates the status of each of those projects. 7. HUMANA HOSPITAL OPENING I attended a meeting at Humana Hospital last week where we were briefed on the tentative preliminary plans for the opening of Humana's new building in College Station. They have scheduled the public dedication of the new facility on April 8th and are planning to transfer patients to the hospital on April 18th. At that point they will be fully operational at their new building in College Station. Recently there have been several meetings between city officials and Humana officials to coordinate a number of different activities. There will undoubtedly be some snags between now and the opening but we have a good open cooperating spirit between their people and ours. I don't foresee any major problems and we will work the small ones out. • COUNCIL MEMO JANUARY 26, 1987 PAGE 3 8. ELECTRIC BILL COMPLAINTS The Utility Billing Office has received several complaints over the last couple of weeks from apartment dwellers in College Station. I have also been informed that several Council members have received calls complaining about high bills during December and January. Linda Piwonka, Utility Billing Office Manager, informs me that this phenomena occurs at this time almost every year. She says that the students leave during the Christmas holidays and leave the heat turned on with the thermostat turned down to 55 or 60. This is done to prevent the pipes from bursting in the case of a hard freeze. As a result the heaters run for long periods of time when the temperatures get down. Since almost all of the apartments are equipped with electric resistance heating we have a large amount of electricity consumed by these apartment units while the students are gone. They return anticipating very low bills and find instead a rather high bill. Linda Piwonka has offered to meet with the apartment managers and residents of the apartment complexes to discuss their concerns. To date, no one has arranged a meeting with Ms. Piwonka. 9. LIBRARY OPENING Just another reminder that the grand opening of the College Station Library is scheduled for February 1 from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. This opening will be held at the site of the library in the Shiloh Place Shopping Center. Numerous invitations are being sent out. I anticipate that there will be a large crowd for that opening provided the weather is good. 10. PUBLIC OFFICIAL LIABILITY INSURANCE Steve Beachy, Director of Parks and Recreation, recently received an inquiry from a member of the Parks and Recreation Board as to whether or not they were covered by the City's Public Official Liability Insurance Policy. I have sent this request to Glenn Schroeder and asked him to review the policies and respond. Of course, we don't have any Public Official Liability Policy at this time, but, when we do get a policy we anticipate that it will specifically cover all members of all commissions and committees. Glenn also points out that these individuals and groups are also covered for exposures that may be covered under the City's General Liability Policies. A copy of Glenn's memo is included with this memo for your information. 11. COUNTY TAX COLLECTION EXPENSES As you know we have transferred the responsibility for collection of advalorem taxes to the county. When Buddy Winn appeared before the City Council he told you that there would be no costs associated with the county collecting our taxes. Subsequent to COUNCIL MEMO JANUARY 26, 1987 PAGE 4 that meeting we have received a letter from Mr. Winn indicating that he had forgotten to mention a $1,700 charge for the conversion of the City's computer tape. He has now sent that bill and asked us to pay it. Glenn Schroeder has sent him a letter back with the Council minutes indicating that Mr. Winn said there would be no cost to the City. We may very well end up having to pay that charge but we are going to wait and see what happens. 12. TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT FM 2818 AND FM 2347 We have received notice from the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation that they intend to install a traffic signal at the above mentioned intersection. Currently this intersection is controlled by stop signs. I simply wanted to bring that to your attention for your information. City of College Station \ � POST OFFICE BOX 9960 1101 TEXAS AVENUE / COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS 77840-2499 M E M O R A N D U M TO: All Department Heads '�/ FROM: King Cole, City Manager VJ1w DATE: January 22, 1987 SUBJECT: Council Budget Recommendations At Wednesday's Council meeting I had an item on the agenda for the City Council to give the staff some preliminary input on their budget priorities for the 1988 fiscal year. Following is a listing of those items mentioned by the City Council that they would like to see addressed in the coming fiscal year. 1. A general consensus was stressed by the City Council that we should maintain our emphasis on street repairs and street maintenance at its current level. 2. Councilman Jimmy Bond indicated that the completion of Dartmouth Street through to the east by -pass overpass was a high priority to him. I explained that this would be funded through the Capital Improvements Program if funds were available. He indicated that he wanted this program funded if it necessitated taking funds from the General Fund. 3. Mayor Larry Ringer indicated that he would like for the staff to review user fees and permit fees and to raise these feeogliknecessary to get thus cios.er to paying , for the cost of the services. Councilman Bond indicated that he did not favor the use of user fees and was more inclined to fund programs out of General Tax Revenues. 4. Councilman Dick Haddox indicated that he would like to see a major event or facility in College Station that would serve to attract tourism and visitors to College Station. 5. Councilman Tongco indicated that she would like to see the implementation of the Data Processing Study recom- mendations in the budget for fiscal year 1988.

BOX 9960 1101 TEXAS AVENUE COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS 77840 -9 9 60 (409) 764 -3515 M E M O R A N D U M TO: King Cole, City Manager FROM: Cathy Locke, City Attorney DATE: January 20, 1987 +) RE: Denison Bid Policy I spoke with Larry Evans, City Attorney for the City of Denison. He is an attorney in private practice. The City of Denison is one of his clients. He told me that the Council did not pass a policy giving preference to local bidders. The Coun- cil did look at the possibility of altering bid specifications in order to give some preference to local bidders. No specifics could be agreed upon and the Council began to be concerned that there would be "pitfalls" to giving local bidders an advantage. He concluded that the only policy in Denison is to award con- tracts to the lowest responsible bidder.

Our vendor, Bob Shephard, is at least two weeks late delivering the remainder of the library furnishings. His 120 days was about 17 weeks from Aug. 28 which ended about Dec. .26. He is monitoring the factory progress every day, and calls if he has any word as to when it will leave Pennsylvania. I talked with him Monday and Wednesday, and the news is still the same - - -- sometime around the 16th he expects it to leave via truck transport for texas. On Monday, 17th, the rest of the paperback shelving and the other components for the check out desk are to be installed, along with some other minor adjustments to the shelving. I expect. by Tuesday that all that will be accomplished. I talked with David Alexander about weatherstripping for the hack doors, and he agreed he would tend to that. 1 called his office today because the staff was unable to make the heating unit in the office work. His office staff said they would give him the message. We had only t-tsed the other two systems prior to yesterday. I'm sure he will have a solution. He also said they would put out some rat poison in the attic that would drive out any rats, mice, etc. I killed a very small mouse about _. weeks ago - -it was moving along the wall next to the front door. I have seen no bugs at this time, but we will monitor the situation. We have lust finished shelving another 20 boxes of books, bringing the total now to 7,694 books as of today. That includes 2,413 new and/or donated books; 2805 non fiction on 1 oan from Bryan; 1304 adult fiction on loan; and 1 172 iuveni 1 e books on loan--it looks impressive. We continue to add to the on loan collection daily. We have hired the part t i m e servi ce worker. Her name is Brenda Fields, and she went to worI- :: this Monday. She is learning to shelve books, and has been helpful in moving boxes of hooks around in the branch, as well as moving books around here at the library. We will be cleaning in the bathrooms at the branch, as we have been using them, and she w i l l be learning how the vacuum worI. : :s as the week progresses. A security alarm devise, battery powered, has been installed on the e x i t door near the bathrooms. I t is like the one we have here on our second floor that leads to the descending fire escape.

VanDever, Jr., Assistant City Manager FROM: Glenn Schroeder, Deputy Director of Finance DATE: January 13, 1987 SUBJECT: Public Official Liability Insurance I am responding to your inquiry concerning liability coverages for members of the city's different appointed commission, boards, and committees. Those members would be covered by the Public Official Liability policy as the named insured in the bid document is "the City of College Station and its Mayor, Council and employees and members of commissions, committees, and organizations of the City, all volunteers and members of volunteer organizations while acting in behalf of the City of College Station." We have also specifically listed fourteen boards and commissions when completing the applications for this type of coverage. These individuals and groups are also covered for exposures that may be covered under general liability since the named insured is the same. Previous general liability policies have included these boards and commissions by endorsement. Rave y- furtff s+ tnivit �{t ♦, a.:..t. v ' 3 aDvr t4`Y F.v!fNe6t eiR! Ai� . 1 .° m046 F•" ..

In reality, it was a false alarm. Nevertheless, I felt I should inform you of the quick and efficient response by the fire department. Both a fire truck and ambulance were dispatched to the school. The children were still in the process of being evacuated as the truck arrived. We in College Station are grateful to have a fire department which responds so quickly and effectively.

Ed Feldman College Station Police Dept. P.O. Box 9960 College Station, 77840 Dear Sir, On behalf of the Channel 3 News Department I would like to thank Sgt. Gary Norton for his assistance in disseminating information during the investigation into the murder at Julie's Place Restaurant. Sgt. Norton handled his responsibilities professionally and was conscientious about making himself available to answer press questions. Murder investigations are difficult for everyone involved. Sgt. Norton made the job a little easier by providing sufficient information to media representatives, thus allowing the detectives to continue their work without interruption. Coordination between those investigating the murder and Sgt. Norton was impressive. Without the detectives feeding information to Norton, he would have been unable to answer our questions. As it was, the only information he would not release were those details witheld to help pinpoint the criminal. Again, I would like to thank you for the cooperation shown during this investigation. S cerely, eff Braun News Director 1 1 i 1
