Sterling Miller, Director of Finance, appeared before the City Council and presented the follow- ing letter from Mr. Elbert Morrow, Bond Attorney with the f i rm of Dumas, Huguenin, Boothman and Morrow, suggesting the wording on the ballot for the amendment regarding the sale of muni- cipal bonds. November 13, 1974 Mr. Sterling K. Miller Director of Finance City of Lubbock P. 0. Box 2000 Lubbock, Texas 79457 Dear Sterling: From the information supplied, it is assumed you wish to retain the public sale provision and only eliminate the advertisement for 30 days. The following language is a slight modification of the language of the City of Austin Charter, retaining the thought of the last sentence of your existing provision: "No bonds or certificates of obligation may be sold for cash until bids, submitted in response to public advertisement therefor, have been received and considered by the Council in an open meeting." On the ballot, you might have language along the following lines: "FOR AND AGAINST: "The amendment of Article Vill, Section V, so as to require a public sale for bonds and certificates of obligation of the City sold for cash." 0 If this is not what you had in mind, please let me know. The words "for cash" need to be in- cluded, as there are some instances where certificates are sold, but are delivered in payment of work done and performed. Very truly yours, EMM:bjm cc: Mr. Joe Smith /s/Elbert Mr. Fled 0. Senter 0 At this point, Councilman Campbell stated that he would change his motion to read as Mr. Morrow suggests in his letter. Mr. Miller stated that if the City is able to avoid the 30 day restriction on advertising, and that there is an obvious deterioration in the market, this would give flexibility to come in at a more appropriate time. He stated the City is looking at 7.7 million dollar bond sale, and if 1/10 of 1% of that can be saved, would amount -to $81,000. 27 NOV I.T 1974 M Fred Senter, City Attorney, reminded the Council that they were not passing this ordinance finally on second reading, but were passing it section by section, and that he wanted the Council to be aware that this was not passage on second reading until a subsequent motion to pass the full ordinance was made. The vote on this motion with respect to amendment regarding bond sales was then taken and was as follows: Mayor Bass, Councilmen West, Jordan, Henry and Campbell voting Yea, none voting Nay. Councilwoman Jordan presented a map showing proposed division of districts, with proposal as to method of expansion of the City Council. After discussion of Councilwoman Jordan's proposal, motion was made by Councilman Henry, seconded by Councilwoman Jordan, that the City Council place before the voters of the City of Lubbock, at the January 15, 1975 Charter Election, (1) the expansion of the City Council to 7 members, 4 members to be elected at large including the Mayor, 3 members to be elected also at large, from three geographical areas in the City, these areas would be divided by the City Council at the end of each 10 year census period; Council places 3, 5, and 6 must reside in the geographic wards to be deter- mined by the Council and Places 1, 2 and 4 can reside anywhere within the City of Lubbock: (2)that with respect to compensation of the Mayor and members of the Council, that each council member would be compensated in ai amount not toexceed $400 per mcnth, >heMapor not toexceed $00 per month: (3) that no member of the City Council could succeed himself for more than one term, and that should a council member become Mayor, that he could not serve more than one term as council member, and one term as mayor, succeeding himself; that with respect to compensa- tion the persons currently serving in office would continue to be paid at their present level until the 1976 electees are sworn into office; a map to be made public, showing the intent of this Council as to how the 3 districts would be divided into areas of approximately 50,000 population each. In response to questions from the Council, Mr. Senter, City Attorney stated that there will be separate propositions on the ballot, and will not be tied one to the other: to vote "yes" or "no" on each of the propositions. This motion carried by the following vote: Mayor Bass, Councilwoman Jordan, Councilmen Henry and Campbell voting Yea, Councilman West voting Nay. At this time, Mayor Bass stated that the Council understood that as requested by the City Attorney, there will be another motion and vote on the entire ordinance just prior to the conculsion of the agenda. Max Tidmore, former Mayor, appeared expressing his concern, urging that no election be called to enlarge the Council. In support of his views, he posed the following questions to the Council: (1) Will 7 members really provide better government? (2) Will geographic districts really provide better government? Motion was made by Councilwoman Jordan, seconded by Councilman Henry to pass Ordinance No. 6998 on second and final reading as a total ordinance calling a Charter Amendment Election to be held on the 15th day of January, 1975, with these items to be voted on: (1) Item having to do with bond sales for the City of Lubbock.
