Utilities Department.

Formal bids were requested from five (5) vendors, for a six (6) month contract to supply

violations per year including:
Minutes—December 13,2011
• High weeds and grass
• Trash and litter

• Illegal dumping
• General nuisances such as broken sewers and standing water.
Code Enforcement uses a software system for managing information and functions such
as tracking violations and scheduling inspections. The existing system utilized by Code
Enforcement is over twenty years old. Support is no longer available and the system
cannot be expanded to meet current needs.
A Request for Proposal (RFP)was sent to eight(8)potential responders and posted on the
City's website. Nine (9) responses were received. After review by the evaluation

5. Consider authorizing the suspension of the effective date of Entergy Texas, Inc.s proposed
rate increase to April 2, 2012.
Administration recommended approval of an ordinance authorizing the suspension of the
effective date of Entergy Texas, Inc.'s proposed rate increase to April 2, 2012.
On November 28, 2011, Enter Texas, Inc. (Entergy)filed its Statement of Intent to increase
rates with each city that retains exclusive original jurisdiction over electric rates and
services in the Entergy service area. This proposal would increase rates an estimated
$111.8 million annually. An average residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours of
electricity per month can expect a $14.37 or 21.6% monthly increase under the Entergy
rate increase proposal. Each city retaining exclusive original jurisdiction must make a
determination regarding Entergy's rate increase request or suspend the proposed effective
date by January 2, 2012. If a timely determination is not made or the effective date Is not
suspended, the rate increase proposed by Entergy would go into effect by operation of law.
Minutes—December 13,2011
The proposed ordinance authorizes the suspension of the effective date of the proposed
increase to April 2, 2012. This would allow for the City to join with other cities in the
Entergy service area as a steering committee to combine efforts to review the rate filing
package and participate in the rate case filed before the Public Utility Commission of
Texas. The ordinance also authorizes the hiring of the Lawton Law Firm, P.C., to
represent the interest of the City through the steering committee and requires the steering
committee to seek reimbursement from the utility company for any rate case expenses
incurred.
The reasonable expenses associated with these cases will be reimbursable by the
company as they have been in the past.
Mayor Pro Tern Smith made a motion to ADOPT AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED AN ORDINANCE OF

materials needed to meet the deliverable requirements for the Traffic Signal System

7. Consider adopting an amended ordinance allowing participation in the Texas Enterprise
Zone Program, designating a liaison and nominating ExxonMobil Oil Corporation as an
Enterprise Zone Project.
Administration recommended approval.
Minutes-December 13,2011
On November 15, 2011, the City Council approved ordinance Number 11-087 to allow
participation in the Texas Enterprise Zone Program and nominate ExxonMobil Oil
Corporation as a "Triple Jumbo Enterprise Zone Project."
Following the application, it was determined that additional points in the competitive
process could be gained if a minor amendment were made to the ordinance. Specifically,
Section Three of the ordinance lists a menu of economic development incentives that the
City may offer applicants in such projects. By adding two additional possible incentives to
the list, the application should gain additional points. These additions include the
possibility of working with potential applicants to provide land and vocational training.
Chapter 2303 of the Texas Government Code provides for the Texas Enterprise Zone
Program as an economic development tool for cities to partner with the State of Texas to
promote job creation and capital investment in economically distressed areas. If awarded,
companies are eligible for State sales and use tax refunds on qualified expenditures for up
to five years, with no cost to the local jurisdiction. The amount of the refund is based upon
a formula related to the amount of capital investment and the number of jobs created or
retained. In addition, the company agrees to hire a minimum of 35% of their new
employees from within economically disadvantaged areas. Confirmation of this
requirement will be the responsibility of the company and the Texas Comptroller's office.
The Community Development Director of the City will serve as the required liaison between
the City, the Enterprise Zone Project and the State for Enterprise Zone Projects.
Applications are reviewed on a quarterly basis by the Economic Development Bank of the
Governor's Economic Development and Tourism office. This current nomination involves a
"triple jumbo" project by ExxonMobil Oil Corporation and is outlined in the attached
document. The"triple jumbo"status refers to a project capital investment of$250,000,000
or more and a potential maximum refund amount of $3,750,000 for the creation or
retention of at least five hundred (500)jobs.
