Section 6. ADDITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BONDS. (a) Registration and
Transfer. The Issuer shall keep or cause to be kept at the principal corporate trust office of BANK ONE,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AUSTIN, TEXAS (the "Paying Agent/Registrar") books or records of the
registration and transfer of the Bonds (the "Registration Books"), and the Issuer hereby appoints the Paying
Agent/Registrar as its registrar and transfer agent to keep such books or records and make such transfers
and registrations under such reasonable regulations as the Issuer and Paying Agent/Registrar may prescribe;
and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall make such transfers and registrations as herein provided. The Paying
Agent/Registrar shall obtain and record in the Registration Books the address of the registered owner of each
Bond to which payments with respect to the Bonds shall be mailed, as herein provided; but it shall be the duty
of each registered owner to notify the Paying Agent/Registrar in writing of the address to which payments
shall be mailed, and such interest payments shall not be mailed unless such notice has been given. The Issuer
shall have the right to inspect the Registration Books during regular business hours of the Paying
Agent/Registrar, but otherwise the Paying Agent/Registrar shall keep the Registration Books confidential and,
unless otherwise required by law, shall not permit their inspection by any other entity. Registration of each
Bond may be transferred in the Registration Books only upon presentation and surrender of such Bond to the
Paying Agent/Registrar for transfer of registration and cancellation, together with proper written instruments
of assignment, in form and with guarantee of signatures satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar, (i)
evidencing the assignment of the Bond, or any portion thereof in any integral multiple of $5,000, to the
assignee or assignees thereof, and (ii) the right of such assignee or assignees to have the Bond or any such
portion thereof registered in the name of such assignee or assignees. Upon the assignment and transfer of
any Bond or any portion thereof, a new substitute Bond or Bonds shall be issued in conversion and exchange
therefor in the manner herein provided. The Initial Bond, to the extent of the unpaid or unredeemed principal
balance thereof, may be assigned and transferred by the initial registered owner thereof once only, and to one
or more assignees designated in writing by the initial registered owner thereof. All Bonds issued and delivered
in conversion of and exchange for the Initial Bond shall be in any denomination or denominations of any
integral multiple of $5,000 (subject to the requirement hereinafter stated that each substitute Bond shall have
a single stated principal maturity date), shall be in the form prescribed in the FORM OF SUBSTITUTE
BOND set forth in this Ordinance, and shall have the characteristics, and may be assigned, transferred, and
0705.056\GO-Ordinance
March 15, 2002 7
converted as hereinafter provided. If the Initial Bond or any portion thereof is assigned and transferred or
convertedthe Initial Bond must be surrendered to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation, and each Bond
issued in exchange for any portion of the Initial Bond shall have a single stated principal maturity date, and
shall not be payable in installments; and each such Bond shall have a principal maturity date corresponding
to the due date of the installment of principal or portion thereof for which the substitute Bond is being ex-
changed; and each such Bond shall bear interest at the single rate applicable to and borne by such installment
of principal or portion thereof for which it is being exchanged. If only a portion of the Initial Bond is assigned
and transferred, there shall be delivered to and registered in the name of the initial registered owner substitute
Bonds in exchange for the unassigned balance of the Initial Bond in the same manner as if the initial
registered owner were the assignee thereof. If any Bond or portion thereof other than the Initial Bond is
assigned and transferred or converted each Bond issued in exchange therefor shall have the same principal
maturity date and bear interest at the same rate as the Bond for which it is exchanged. A form of assignment
shall be printed or endorsed on each Bond, excepting the Initial Bond, which shall be executed by the
registered owner or its duly authorized attorney or representative to evidence an assignment thereof. Upon
surrender of any Bonds or any portion or portions thereof for transfer of registration, an authorized
representative of the Paying Agent/Registrar shall make such transfer in the Registration Books, and shall
deliver a new fully registered substitute Bond or Bonds, having the characteristics herein described, payable
to such assignee or assignees (which then will be the registered owner or owners of such new Bond or
Bonds), or to the previous registered owner in case only a portion of a Bond is being assigned and transferred,
all in conversion of and exchange for said assigned Bond or Bonds or any portion or portions thereof, in the
same form and manner, and with the same effect, as provided in Section 6(d), below, for the conversion and
exchange of Bonds by any registered owner of a Bond. The Issuer shall pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's
standard or customary fees and charges for making such transfer and delivery of a substitute Bond or Bonds,
but the one requesting such transfer shall pay any taxes or other governmental charges required to be paid
with respect thereto. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be required to make transfers of registration of
any Bond or any portion thereof (i) during the period commencing with the close of business on any Record
Date and ending with the opening of business on the next following principal or interest payment date, or, (ii)
with respect to any Bond or any portion thereof called for redemption prior to maturity, within 45 days prior
to its redemption date.
(b) Ownership of Bonds. The entity in whose name any Bond shall be registered in the Registration
Books at any time shall be deemed and treated as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes of this
Ordinance, whether or not such Bond shall be overdue, and the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall
not be affected by any notice to the contrary; and payment of, or on account of, the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on any such Bond shall be made only to such registered owner. All such payments shall
be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums
so paid.
(c) Payment of Bonds and Interest. The Issuer hereby further appoints the Paying Agent/Registrar
to act as the paying agent for paying the principal of and interest on the Bonds, and to act as its agent to
convert and exchange or replace Bonds, all as provided in this Ordinance. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall
keep proper records of all payments made by the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar with respect to the
Bonds, and of all conversions and exchanges of Bonds, and all replacements of Bonds, as provided in this
Ordinance. However, in the event of a nonpayment of interest on a scheduled payment date, and for thirty
(30) days thereafter, a new record date for such interest payment (a "Special Record Date") will be
0705.056\GO-Ordinance
March 15, 2002 8
established by the Paying Agent/Registrar, if and when funds for the payment of such interest have been
received from the Issuer. Notice of the Special Record Date and of the scheduled payment date of the past
due interest ("Special Payment Date", which shall be fifteen (15) days after the Special Record Date) shall
be sent at least five (5) business days prior to the Special Record Date by United States mail, first class
postage prepaid, to the address of each Holder of a Bond appearing on the registration books of the Paying
Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the 15th business day next preceding the date of mailing of such
notice.
(d) Conversion and Exchange or Replacement; Authentication. Each Bond issued and delivered
pursuant to this Ordinance, to the extent of the unpaid or unredeemed principal balance or principal amount
thereof, may, upon surrender of such Bond at the principal corporate trust office of the Paying
Agent/Registrar, together with a written request therefor duly executed by the registered owner or the
assignee or assignees thereof, or its or their duly authorized attorneys or representatives, with guarantee of
signatures satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar, may, at the option of the registered owner or such
assignee or assignees, as appropriate, be converted into and exchanged for fully registered bonds, without
interest coupons, in the form prescribed in the FORM OF SUBSTITUTE BOND set forth in this Ordinance,
in the denomination of $5,000, or any integral multiple of $5,000 (subject to the requirement hereinafter stated
that each substitute Bond shall have a single stated maturity date), as requested in writing by such registered
owner or such assignee or assignees, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid or unredeemed
principal balance or principal amount of any Bond or Bonds so surrendered, and payable to the appropriate
registered owner, assignee, or assignees, as the case maybe. If the Initial Bond is assigned and transferred
or converted each substitute Bond issued in exchange for any portion of the Initial Bond shall have a single
stated principal maturity date, and shall not be payable in installments; and each such Bond shall have a
principal maturity date corresponding to the due date of the installment of principal or portion thereof for
which the substitute Bond is being exchanged; and each such Bond shall bear interest at the single rate
applicable to and borne by such installment of principal or portion thereof for which it is being exchanged.
If a portion of any Bond (other than the Initial Bond) shall be redeemed prior to its scheduled maturity as
provided herein, a substitute Bond or Bonds having the same maturity date, bearing interest at the same rate,
in the denomination or denominations of any integral multiple of $5,000 at the request of the registered owner,
and in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof, will be issued to the registered
owner upon surrender thereof for cancellation. If any Bond or portion thereof (other than the Initial Bond)
is assigned and transferred or converted, each Bond issued in exchange therefor shall have the same principal
maturity date and bear interest at the same rate as the Bond for which it is being exchanged. Each substitute
Bond shall bear a letter and/or number to distinguish it from each other Bond. The Paying Agent/Registrar
shall convert and exchange or replace Bonds as provided herein, and each fully registered bond delivered in
conversion of and exchange for or replacement of any Bond or portion thereof as permitted or required by
any provision of this Ordinance shall constitute one of the Bonds for all purposes of this Ordinance, and may
again be converted and exchanged or replaced. It is specifically provided that any Bond authenticated in
conversion of and exchange for or replacement of another Bond on or prior to the first scheduled Record
Date for the Initial Bond shall bear interest from the date of the Initial Bond, but each substitute Bond so
authenticated after such first scheduled Record Date shall bear interest from the interest payment date next
preceding the date on which such substitute Bond was so authenticated, unless such Bond is authenticated
after any Record Date but on or before the next following interest payment date, in which case it shall bear
interest from such next following interest payment date; provided, however, that if at the time of delivery of
any substitute Bond the interest on the Bond for which it is being exchanged is due but has not been paid, then
0705.056\GO-Ordinance
March 15, 2002 9
such Bond shall bear interest from the date to which such interest has been paid in full. THE INITIAL
BOND issued and delivered pursuant to this Ordinance is not required to be, and shall not be, authenticated
by the Paying Agent/Registrar, but on each substitute Bond issued in conversion of and exchange for or
replacement of any Bond or Bonds issued under this Ordinance there shall be printed a bond, in the form
substantially as follows:

Section 8. TAX LEVY. A special Interest and Sinking Fund (the "Interest and Sinking Fund") is
hereby created solely for the benefit of the Bonds, and the Interest and Sinking Fund shall be established and
maintained by the Issuer at an official depository bank of the Issuer. The Interest and Sinking Fund shall be
kept separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of the Issuer, and shall be used only for paying the
interest on and principal of the Bonds. All ad valorem taxes levied and collected for and on account of the
Bonds, together with any premium and accrued interest receivedupon sale of the Bonds, shall be deposited,
as collected, to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund. During each year while any of the Bonds or
interest thereon are outstanding and unpaid, the governing body of the Issuer shall compute and ascertain a
rate and amount of ad valorem tax which will be sufficient to raise and produce the money required to pay
the interest on the Bonds as such interest becomes due, and to provide and maintain a sinking fund adequate
to pay the principal of its Bonds as such principal matures (but never less than 2% of the original principal
amount of the Bonds as a sinking fund each year). Said tax shall be based on the latest approved tax rolls
of the Issuer, with full allowance being made for tax delinquencies and the cost of tax collection. Said rate
and amount of ad valorem tax is hereby levied, and is hereby ordered to be levied, against all taxable property
in the Issuer for each year while any of the Bonds or interest thereon are outstanding and unpaid; and said
tax shall be assessed and collected each such year and deposited to the credit of the aforesaid Interest and
Sinking Fund. Said ad valorem taxes sufficient to provide for the payment of the interest on and principal of
the Bonds, as such interest comes due and such principal matures, are hereby pledged for such payment,
within the limit prescribed by law.
Section 9. DEFEASANCE OF BONDS. (a) Any Bond and the interest thereon shall be deemed
to be paid, retired, and no longer outstanding (a "Defeased Bond") within the meaning of this Ordinance,
except to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section 9, when payment of the principal of such Bond,
plus interest thereon to the due date (whether such due date be by reason of maturity, upon redemption, or
otherwise) either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof (inc-
luding the giving of any required notice of redemption), or (ii) shall have been provided for on or before such
due date by irrevocably depositing with or making available to the Paying Agent/Registrar for such payment
(1) lawful money of the United States of America sufficient to make such payment or (2) Government
Obligations which mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will insure the
availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money to provide for such payment, and when proper
arrangements have been made by the Issuer with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of its services
until all Defeased Bonds shall have become due and payable. At such time as a Bond shall be deemed to be
a Defeased Bond hereunder, as aforesaid, such Bond and the interest thereon shall no longer be secured by,
payable from, or entitled to the benefits of, the ad valorem taxes herein levied and pledged as provided in this
Ordinance, and such principal and interest shall be payable solely from such money or Government
Obligations.
(b) Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar may at the written direction of
the Issuer also be invested in Government Obligations, maturing in the amounts and times as hereinbefore set
forth, and all income from such Government Obligations received by the Paying Agent/Registrar which is not
required for the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon, with respect to which such money has been so
deposited, shall be turned over to the Issuer, or deposited as directed in writing by the Issuer.
(c) The term "Government Obligations" as used in this Section shall mean direct obligations of
the United States of America, including obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally
0705.056\GO-Ordinance
March 15, 2002 17
guaranteed by the United States of America, which may be United States Treasury obligations such as its
State and Local Government Series, which may be in book-entry form.
(d) Until all Defeased Bonds shall have become due and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar
shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Bonds the same as if they had not
been defeased, and the Issuer shall make proper arrangements to provide and pay for such services as
required by this Ordinance.
Section 10. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED BONDS. (a)
Replacement Bonds. In the event any outstanding Bond is damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the
Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be printed, executed, and delivered, a new bond of the same principal
amount, maturity, and interest rate, as the damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Bond, in replacement
for such Bond in the manner hereinafter provided.
(b) Application for Replacement Bonds. Application for replacement of damaged, mutilated, lost,
stolen, or destroyed Bonds shall be made by the registered owner thereof to the Paying Agent/Registrar. In
every case of loss, theft, or destruction of a Bond, the registered owner applying for a replacement bond shall
furnish to the Issuer and to the Paying Agent/Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to save each of them harmless from any loss or damage with respect thereto. Also, in every case of loss,
theft, or destruction of a Bond, the registered owner shall furnish to the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar
evidence to their satisfaction of the loss, theft, or destruction of such Bond, as the case may be. In every
case of damage or mutilation of a Bond, the registered owner shall surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar
for cancellation the Bond so damaged or mutilated.
(c) No Defauk Occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, in the event
of any such Bond shall have matured, and no defauk has occurred which is then continuing in the payment
of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Bond, the Issuer may authorize the payment
of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a damaged or mutilated Bond) instead of issuing
a replacement Bond, provided security or indemnity is furnished as above provided in this Section.
(d) Charge for Issuing Replacement Bonds. Prior to the issuance of any replacement bond, the
Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the registered owner of such Bond with all legal, printing, and other
expenses in connection therewith. Every replacement bond issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section
by virtue of the fact that any Bond is lost, stolen, or destroyed shall constitute a contractual obligation of the
Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen, or destroyed Bond shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and proportionately with any and all
other Bonds duly issued under this Ordinance.
(e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Bonds. In accordance with Chapter 1201, Texas
Government Code, this Section of this Ordinance shall constitute authority for the issuance of any such
replacement bond without necessity of further action by the governing body of the Issuer or any other body
or person, and the duty of the replacement of such bonds is hereby authorized and imposed upon the Paying
Agent/Registrar, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver such Bonds in the form and
manner and with the effect, as provided in Section 6(d) of this Ordinance for Bonds issued in conversion and
exchange for other Bonds.

Section 11. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX-EXEMPTION. The Issuer covenants to refrain
from taking any action which would adversely affect, or to take such action to assure, the treatment of the
Bonds as obligations described in section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), the interest on which is not includable in the "gross income" of the holder for purposes of federal
income taxation. In furtherance thereof, the Issuer covenants as follows:
(a) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the
Bonds or the projects financed therewith (less amounts deposited to a reserve fund, if any) are used
for any "private business use", as defined in section 141(b)(6) of the Code, or if more than 10 percent
of the proceeds or the projects financed therewith are so used, such amounts, whether or not
received by the Issuer, with respect to such private business use, do not, under the terms of this
Ordinance or any underlying arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for the payment
of more than 10 percent of the debt service on the Bonds, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of
the Code;
(b) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use"
described in subsection (a) hereof exceeds five percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the projects
financed therewith (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the amount in excess of
five percent is used for a "private business use" which is "related" and not "disproportionate", within
the meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the governmental use;
(c) to take any action to assure that no amount which is greater than the lesser of
$5,000,000, or five percent of the proceeds of the Bonds (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund,
if any) is, directly or indirectly, used to finance loans to persons, other than state or local
governmental units, in contravention of section 141(c) of the Code;
(d) to refrain from taking any action which would otherwise result in the Bonds being
treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the Code;
(e) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Bonds being "federally
guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code;
(f) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, directly or indirectly,
to acquire or to replace funds which were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire investment property
(as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) which produces a materially higher yield over the term
of the Bonds, other than investment property acquired with --
(1) proceeds of the Bonds invested for a reasonable temporary period of 3 years
or less, or in the case of a refunding bonds, for a period of 30 days or less until such
proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds are issued,
(2) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of
section 1.148-1 (b) of the Treasury Regulations, and
0705.056\GO-Ordinance
March 15, 2002 19
(3) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement fund
to the extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the stated principal amount (or, in
the case of a discount, the issue price) of the Bonds;
(g) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Bonds or amounts treated as
proceeds of the Bonds, as may be necessary, so that the Bonds do not otherwise contravene the
requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage), section 149(g) of the Code (relating
to hedge bonds), and, to the extent applicable, section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance
refundings); and
(h) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five-year period
(beginning on the date of delivery of the Bonds) an amount that is at least equal to 90 percent of the
"Excess Earnings", within the meaning of section 148(f) of the Code and to pay to the United States
of America, not later that 60 days after the Bonds have been paid in full, 100 percent of the amount
then requked to be paid as a resuk of Excess Earnings under section 148(f) of the Code.
For purposes of the foregoing (a) and (b), the Issuer understands that the term "proceeds" includes
"disposition proceeds" as defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in the case of refunding bonds, transferred
proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the refunded bonds expended prior to the date of issuance of the Bonds.
It is the understanding of the Issuer that the covenants contained herein are intended to assure compliance
with the Code and any regulations or rulings promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury pursuant
thereto. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which modify, or expand provisions
of the Code, as applicable to the Bonds, the Issuer will not be required to comply with any covenant contained
herein to the extent that such failure to comply, in the opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel, will not
adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds under section 103 of
the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which impose additional
requirements which are applicable to the Bonds, the Issuer agrees to comply with the additional requirements
to the extent necessary and reasonably possible, in the opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel, to
preserve the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds under section 103 of the Code.
In furtherance of such intention, the Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Mayor to execute any
documents, certificates or reports required by the Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the Issuer,
which may be permitted by the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Bonds. The
Issuer covenants to comply with the covenants in this section after defeasance of the Bonds.
In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant (h), a "Rebate Fund" is hereby established
by the Issuer for the sole benefit of the United States of America, and such fund shall not be subject to the
claim of any other person, including without limitation, the bondholders. The Rebate Fund is established for
the additional purpose of compliance with section 148 of the Code.
Section 12. ALLOCATION OF, AND LIMITATION ON, EXPENDITURES FOR THE
PROJECT. The Issuer covenants to account for the expenditure of sale proceeds and investment earnings
to be used for the purposes described in Section 1 of this Ordinance (the "Project") on its books and records
in accordance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Issuer recognizes that in order for
the proceeds to be considered used for the reimbursement of costs, the proceeds must be allocated to
expenditures within 18 months of the later of the date that (1) the expenditure is made, or (2) the Project is
0705.056\GO-Ordinance
March 15, 2002 20
completed; but in no event later than three years after the date on which the original expenditure is paid. The
foregoing notwithstanding, the Issuer recognizes that in order for proceeds to be expended under the Internal
Revenue Code, the sale proceeds or investment earnings must be expended no more than 60 days after the
later of (1) the fifth anniversary of the delivery of the Bonds, or (2) the date the Bonds are retired. The
Issuer agrees to obtain the advice of nationally-recognized bond counsel if such expenditure fails to comply
with the foregoing to assure that such expenditure will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the
Bonds. For purposes hereof, the Issuer shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an
opinion that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes
from gross income of the interest.
Section 13. DISPOSITION OF PROJECT. The Issuer covenants that the property constituting the
Project will not be sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the receipt by the Issuer of cash or
other compensation, unless the Issuer obtains an opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel that such sale
or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. For purposes hereof, the
Issuer shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains a legal opinion that such failure to
comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the
interest.
Section 14. CUSTODY, APPROVAL, AND REGISTRATION OF BONDS; BOND COUNSEL'S
OPINION, CUSIP NUMBERS, PREAMBLE AND INSURANCE. The Mayor of the Issuer is hereby
authorized to have control of the Initial Bond issued hereunder and all necessary records and proceedings
pertaining to the Initial Bond pending its delivery and its investigation, examination, and approval by the
Attorney General of the State of Texas, and its registration by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State
of Texas. Upon registration of the Initial Bond said Comptroller of Public Accounts (or a deputy designated
in writing to act for said Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller's Registration Certificate on the
Initial Bond, and the seal of said Comptroller shall be impressed, or placed in facsimile, on the Initial Bond.
The approving legal opinion of the Issuer's Bond Counsel and the assigned CUSIP numbers may, at the option
of the Issuer, be printed on the Initial Bond or on any Bonds issued and delivered in conversion of and
exchange or replacement of any Bond, but neither shall have any legal effect, and shall be solely for the
convenience and information of the registered owners of the Bonds. The preamble to this Ordinance is
hereby adopted and made a part hereof for all purposes. If insurance is obtained on any of the Bonds, the
Initial Bond and all other Bonds shall bear an appropriate legend concerning insurance as provided by the
insurer.
Section 15. SALE OF INITIAL BOND. The Initial Bond is hereby sold and shall be delivered to
., for cash for the par value thereof and accrued interest thereon to date
of delivery, plus a cash premium of $ It is hereby officially found, determined, and
declared that the Initial Bond has been sold at public sale to the bidder offering the lowest interest cost, after
receiving sealed bids pursuant to an Official Notice of Sale and Bidding Instructions and Preliminary Official
Statement dated ., 2002, prepared and distributed in connection with the sale of the Initial Bond.
Said Official Notice of Sale and Bidding Instructions, Preliminary Official Statement and the Official
Statement dated _, 2002, and any addenda, supplement, or amendment thereto have been and
are hereby approved by the Issuer, and their use in the offer and sale of the Bonds is hereby approved. It
is further officially found, determined, and declared that the statements and representations contained in said
0705.056\GO-Ordinance
March 15, 2002 21
Official Notice of Sale, Preliminary Official Statement and Official Statement are true and correct in all
material respects, to the best knowledge and belief of the City Council.
Section 16. INTEREST EARNINGS ON BOND PROCEEDS. Interest earnings derived from the
investment of proceeds from the sale of the Initial Bond shall be used along with other bond proceeds for the
acquisition and construction of the improvements for which the Bonds are issued; provided that after
completion of such improvements, if any of such interest earnings remain on hand, such interest earnings shall
be deposited in the Interest and Sinking Fund. It is further provided, however, that any interest earnings on
bond proceeds which are required to be rebated to the United States of America pursuant to Section 11
hereof in order to prevent the Bonds from being arbitrage bonds shall be so rebated and not considered as
interest earnings for the purposes of this Section.
Section 17. DTC REGISTRATION. The Bonds initially shall be issued and delivered in such
manner that no physical distribution of the Bonds will be made to the public, and The Depository Trust
Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, initially will act as depository for the Bonds. DTC has
represented that it is a limited purpose trust company incorporated under the laws of the State of New York,
a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered under Section 17A of the federal Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Issuer accepts, but in no way verifies, such representations. The
Initial Bond authorized by this Ordinance shall be delivered to and registered in the name of the Purchaser.
However, it is a condition of delivery and sale that the Purchaser, immediately after such delivery, shall cause
the Paying Agent/Registrar, as provided for in this Ordinance, to cancel said Initial Bond and deliver in
exchange therefor a substitute Bond for each maturity of such Initial Bond, with each such substitute Bond
to be registered in the name of CEDE & CO., the nominee of DTC, and it shall be the duty of the Paying
Agent/Registrar to take such action. It is expected that DTC will hold the Bonds on behalf of the Purchaser
and/or The DTC Participants, as defined and described in the Official Statement referred to and approved
in Section 15 hereof (the "DTC Participants"). So long as each Bond is registered in the name of CEDE &
CO., the Paying Agent/Registrar shall treat and deal with DTC in all respects the same as if it were the actual
and beneficial owner thereof. It is expected that DTC will maintain a book entry system which will identify
beneficial ownership of the Bonds by DTC Participants in integral amounts of $5,000, with transfers of
ownership being effected on the records of DTC and the DTC Participants pursuant to rules and regulations
established by them, and that the substitute Bonds initially deposited with DTC shall be immobilized and not
be further exchanged for substitute Bonds except as hereinafter provided. The Issuer is not responsible or
liable for any functions of DTC, will not be responsible for paying any fees or charges with respect to its
services, will not be responsible or liable for maintaining, supervising, or reviewing the records of DTC or the
DTC Participants, or protecting any interests or rights of the beneficial owners of the Bonds. It shall be the
duty of the Purchaser and the DTC Participants to make all arrangements with DTC to establish this book-
entry system, the beneficial ownership of the Bonds, and the method of paying the fees and charges of DTC.
The Issuer does not represent, nor does it in any way covenant that the initial book-entry system established
with DTC will be maintained in the future. The Issuer reserves the right and option at any time in the future,
in its sole discretion, to terminate the DTC (CEDE & CO.) book-entry only registration requirement described
above, and to permit the Bonds to be registered in the name of any owner. If the Issuer exercises its right
and option to terminate such requirement, it shall give written notice of such termination to the Paying Agent/
Registrar and to DTC, and thereafter the Paying Agent/Registrar shall, upon presentation and proper request,
register any Bond in any name as provided for in this Ordinance. Notwithstanding the initial establishment
0705.056\GO-Ordinance
March 15, 2002 22
of the foregoing book-entry system with DTC, if for any reason any of the originally delivered substitute
Bonds is duly filed with the Paying Agent/Registrar with proper request for transfer and substitution, as
provided for in this Ordinance, substitute Bonds will be duly delivered as provided in this Ordinance, and there
will be no assurance or representation that any book-entry system will be maintained for such Bonds.

annually to each NRMSIR and any SID, within six months after the end of each fiscal year ending in or after

operating data to be provided pursuant to this Section may be set forth in full in one or more documents or

document, if it is available from the MSRB) that theretofore has been provided to each NRMSIR and any
SID or filed with the SEC.

by the Issuer to provide financial information or operating data in accordance with subsection (a) of this
Section by the time required by such subsection.
(c) Limitations, Disclaimers, and Amendments. (i) The Issuer shall be obligated to observe and
perform the covenants specified in this Section for so long as, but only for so long as, the Issuer remains an
"obligated person" with respect to the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule, except that the Issuer in any
event will give the notice required by Subsection (b) hereof of any Bond calls and defeasance that cause the
Issuer to no longer be such an "obligated person".
(ii) The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the registered owners and beneficial
owners of the Bonds, and nothing in this Section, express or implied, shall give any benefit or any legal or
equitable right, remedy, or claim hereunder to any other person. The Issuer undertakes to provide only the
financialinformation, operating data, financial statements, and notices which it has expressly agreed to provide
pursuant to this Section and does not hereby undertake to provide any other information that may be relevant
or material to a complete presentation of the Issuer's financial results, condition, or prospects or hereby
undertake to update any information provided in accordance with this Section or otherwise, except as
expressly provided herein. The Issuer does not make any representation or warranty concerning such
information or its usefulness to a decision to invest in or sell Bonds at any future date.
(iii) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE ISSUER, ITS OFFICERS, AGENTS AND
EMPLOYEES, BE LIABLE TO THE REGISTERED OWNER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY
BOND OR ANY OTHER PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR DAMAGES RESULTING IN
WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY BREACH BY THE ISSUER, WHETHER NEGLIGENT OR
WITHOUT FAULT ON ITS PART, OF ANY COVENANT SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION, BUT
EVERY RIGHT AND REMEDY OF ANY SUCH PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR OR ON
ACCOUNT OF ANY SUCH BREACH SHALL BE LIMITED TO AN ACTION FOR MANDAMUS
OR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.
(iv) No default by the Issuer in observing or performing its obligations under this Section shall
comprise a breach of or default under the Ordinance for purposes of any other provision of this Ordinance.
Nothing in this Section is intended or shall act to disclaim, waive, or otherwise limit the duties of the Issuer
under federal and state securities laws.
(v) The provisions of this Section may be amended by the Issuer from time to time to adapt to
changed circumstances that arise from a change in legal requirements, a change in law, or a change in the
identity, nature, status, or type of operations of the Issuer, but only if (1) the provisions of this Section, as so
0705.056\GO-Ordinance
March 15, 2002 24
amended, would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or sell Bonds in the primary offering of the Bonds
in compliance with the Rule, taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule since such
offering as well as such changed circumstances and (2) either (a) the registered owners of a majority in
aggregate principal amount (or any greater amount required by any other provision of this Ordinance that
authorizes such an amendment) of the outstanding Bonds consent to such amendment or (b) a person that
is unaffiliated with the Issuer (such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determined that such amendment
will not materially impair the interest of the registered owners and beneficial owners of the Bonds. If the
Issuer so amends the provisions of this Section, it shall include with any amended financial information or
operating data next provided in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section an explanation, in narrative
form, of the reason for the amendment and of the impact of any change in the type of financial information
or operating data so provided. The Issuer may also amend or repeal the provisions of this continuing
disclosure agreement if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable provision of the Rule or a court of final
jurisdiction enters judgment that such provisions of the Rule are invalid, but only if and to the extent that the
provisions of this sentence would not prevent an underwriter from lawfully purchasing or selling Bonds in the
primary offering of the Bonds.

of the Bonds and the pledge of the taxes granted by the Issuer under Section 8 of this Ordinance, and is
therefore valid, effective, and perfected. If Texas law is amended at any time while the Bonds are
outstanding and unpaid such that the pledge of the taxes granted by the Issuer under Section 8 of this
Ordinance is to be subject to the filing requirements of Chapter 9, Texas Business & Commerce Code, then
in order to preserve to the registered owners of the Bonds the perfection of the security interest in said
pledge, the Issuer agrees to take such measures as it determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas
law to comply with the applicable provisions of Chapter 9, Texas Business & Commerce Code and enable
a filing to perfect the security interest in said pledge to occur.

Notice of Sale and Official Statement; and the Assistant City Manager/Finance of the City shall cause the
expenses of issuance of the Bonds to be paid from the proceeds of sale of the Initial Bond or from any other
lawfully available funds of the Issuer. In case any officer whose signature shall appear on any Bond shall
cease to be such officer before the delivery of such Bond, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and
sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery.

Certificate, but each substitute Certificate so authenticated after such first scheduled Record Date shall bear
interest from the interest payment date next preceding the date on which such substitute Certificate was so
authenticated, unless such Certificate is authenticated after any Record Date but on or before the next
following interest payment date, in which case it shall bear interest from such next following interest payment
date; provided, however, that if at the time of delivery of any substitute Certificate the interest on the
Certificate for which it is being exchanged is due but has not been paid, then such Certificate shall bear
interest from the date to which such interest has been paid in full. THE INITIAL CERTIFICATE issued and
delivered pursuant to this Ordinance is not required to be, and shall not be, authenticated by the Paying
Agent/Registrar, but on each substitute Certificate issued in conversion of and exchange for or replacement

assignees, as the case may be, upon surrender of this Certificate to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancella-
tion, all in accordance with the form and procedures set forth in the Certificate Ordinance. The Issuer shall

Section 8. TAX LEVY. A special Interest and Sinking Fund (the "Interest and Sinking Fund") is
hereby created solely for the benefit of the Certificates, and the Interest and Sinking Fund shall be established
and maintained by the Issuer at an official depository bank of the Issuer. The Interest and Sinking Fund shall
be kept separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of the Issuer, and shall be used only for paying
the interest on and principal of the Certificates. All ad valorem taxes levied and collected for and on account
of the Certificates, together with any premium and accrued interest received upon sale of the Certificates,
shall be deposited, as collected, to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund. During each year while any
of the Certificates or interest thereon are outstanding and unpaid, the governing body of the Issuer shall
compute and ascertain a rate and amount of ad valorem tax which will be sufficient to raise and produce the
money required to pay the interest on the Certificates as such interest becomes due, and to provide and
maintain a sinking fund adequate to pay the principal of its Certificates as such principal matures (but never
less than 2% of the original principalamount of the Certificates as a sinking fund each year). Said tax shall
be based on the latest approval tax rolls of the Issuer, with full allowance being made for tax delinquencies
and the cost of tax collection. Said rate and amount of ad valorem tax is hereby levied, and is hereby ordered
to be levied, against all taxable property in the Issuer for each year while any of the Certificates or interest
thereon are outstanding and unpaid; and said tax shall be assessed and collected each such year and deposited
to the credit of the aforesaid Interest and Sinking Fund. Said ad valorem taxes sufficient to provide for the
payment of the interest on and principal of the Certificates, as such interest comes due and such principal
matures, are hereby pledged for such payment, within the limit prescribed by law.
Section 9. SURPLUS REVENUES. The Certificates additionally shall be payable from and secured
by surplus revenues, to the extent hereinafter permitted, derived by the Issuer from the ownership and
operation of the Issuer's Utility System (consisting of its combined waterworks system, sanitary sewer
system, and electric light and power system) remaining after (a) payment of all amounts constituting operation
and maintenance expenses of said Utility System, and (b) payment of all debt service, reserve, and other
requirements and amounts required to be paid under all ordinances heretofore or hereafter authorizing (i) all
bonds and (ii) all other obligations not on a parity with the Certificates, which are payable from and secured
by any Utility System revenues, and (c) payment of all amounts payable from any Utility System revenues
pursuant to contracts heretofore or hereafter entered into by the Issuer in accordance with law (the "Surplus
Revenues"). If, for any reason, the Issuer fails to deposit ad valorem taxes levied pursuant to Section 8
hereof to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund in an amount sufficient to pay, when due, the principal
of and interest on the Certificates, then Surplus Revenues, to the extent hereinafter permitted, shall be depos-
ited to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund and used to pay such principal and/or interest. A maximum
aggregate of $10,000 of Surplus Revenues may be used to pay principal and/or interest on the Certificates
and any obligations on a parity therewith. The Certificates and any obligations on a parity therewith are not,
and shall not be deemed to be, payable from or secured by any Surplus Revenues in excess of an aggregate
of $10,000. Until and unless an aggregate of $10,000 of Surplus Revenues actually is used to pay any such
principal and/or interest, additional obligations, payable from and secured by all or any remaining unused part
0705.055\CO-Ordinance
March 15, 2002 17
of said aggregate of $10,000 of Surplus Revenues, may be issued by the Issuer on a parity with the
Certificates and any other then outstanding parity obligations, with the Certificates and all such additional
parity obligations to be payable from and secured equally and ratably by all or any remaining unused part of
said aggregate. The Issuer reserves, and shall have, the right to issue bonds, and other obligations not on a
parity with the Certificates, and to enter into contracts, in accordance with applicable laws, to be payable from
and secured by any Utility System revenues other than the aggregate of $10,000 of Surplus Revenues as
described above. The Certificates are on a parity with those issues of City of Denton Certificates of
Obligation, Series 1993, Series 1993-A, Series 1994, Series 1995, Series 1996, Series 1998, Series 1999, Series
2000 and Series 2001 (the "Outstanding Certificates"), as permitted in the Ordinances authorizing same; and
it is hereby found and determined that none of the above defined Surplus Revenues have ever been used to
pay any principal and/or interest on the Outstanding Certificates.
Section 10. DEFEASANCE OF CERTIFICATES. (a) Any Certificate and the interest thereon shall
be deemed to be paid, retired, and no longer outstanding (a "Defeased Certificate") within the meaning of this
Ordinance, except to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section, when payment of the principalof
such Certificate, plus interest thereon to the due date either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made
in accordance with the terms thereof, or (ii) shall have been provided for on or before such due date by
irrevocably depositing with or making available to the Paying Agent/Registrar for such payment (1) lawful
money of the United States of America sufficient to make such payment or (2) Government Obligations
which mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will insure the availability,
without reinvestment, of sufficient money to provide for such payment, and when proper arrangements have
been made by the Issuer with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of its services until all Defeased
Certificates shall have become due and payable. At such time as a Certificate shall be deemed to be a
Defeased Certificate hereunder, as aforesaid, such Certificate and the interest thereon shall no longer be
secured by, payable from, or entitled to the benefits of, the ad valorem taxes herein levied and pledged as
provided in this Ordinance, and such principal and interest shall be payable solely from such money or
Government Obligations.
(b) Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar may at the written direction of
the Issuer also be invested in Government Obligations, maturing in the amounts and times as hereinbefore set
forth, and all income from such Government Obligations received by the Paying Agent/Registrar which is not
required for the payment of the Certificates and interest thereon, with respect to which such money has been
so deposited, shall be turned over to the Issuer, or deposited as directed in writing by the Issuer.
(c) The term "Government Obligations" as used in this Section shall mean direct obligations of
the United States of America, including obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally
guaranteed by the United States of America, which may be United States Treasury obligations such as its
State and Local Government Series, which may be in book-entry form.
(d) Until all Defeased Certificates shall have become due and payable, the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Certificates the
same as if they had not been defeased, and the Issuer shall make proper arrangements to provide and pay
for such services as required by this Ordinance.
Section 11. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES.
(a) Replacement Certificates. In the event any outstanding Certificate is damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen,
or destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be printed, executed, and delivered, a new certificate
0705.055\CO-Ordinance
March 15, 2002 18
of the same principal amount, maturity, and interest rate, as the damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed
Certificate, in replacement for such Certificate in the manner hereinafter provided.
(b) Application for Replacement Certificates. Application for replacement of damaged,
mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificates shall be made by the registered owner thereof to the Paying
Agent/Registrar. In every case of loss, theft, or destruction of a Certificate, the registered owner applying
for a replacement certificate shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Paying Agent/Registrar such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss or damage with respect
thereto. Also, in every case of loss, theft, or destruction of a Certificate, the registered owner shall furnish
to the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar evidence to their satisfaction of the loss, theft, or destruction
of such Certificate, as the case may be. In every case of damage or mutilation of a Certificate, the registered
owner shall surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation the Certificate so damaged or mutilated.
(c) No Default Occurrec[ Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, in the event
of any such Certificate shall have matured, and no default has occurred which is then continuing in the
payment of the principal of, or interest on the Certificate, the Issuer may authorize the payment of the same
(without surrender thereof except in the case of a damaged or mutilated Certificate) instead of issuing a
replacement Certificate, provided security or indemnity is furnished as above provided in this Section.
(d) Charge for Issuing Replacement Certificates. Prior to the issuance of any replacement
certificate, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the registered owner of such Certificate with all legal,
printing, and other expenses in connection therewith. Every replacement certificate issued pursuant to the
provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Certificate is lost, stolen, or destroyed shall constitute
a contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate shall be found
at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and
proportionately with any and all other Certificates duly issued under this Ordinance.
(e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Certificates. In accordance with Chapter 1201, Texas
Government Code, this Section of this Ordinance shall constitute authority for the issuance of any such
replacement certificate without necessity of further action by the governing body of the Issuer or any other
body or person, and the duty of the replacement of such certificates is hereby authorized and imposed upon
the Paying Agent/Registrar, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver such Certificates
in the form and manner and with the effect, as provided in Section 6(d) of this Ordinance for Certificates
issued in conversion and exchange for other Certificates.

necessary records and proceedings pertaining to the Initial Certificate pending its delivery and its investigation,

Bond Counsel and the assigned CUSIP numbers may, at the option of the Issuer, be printed on the Initial
Certificate or on any Certificates issued and delivered in conversion of and exchange or replacement of any
Certificate, but neither shall have any legal effect, and shall be solely for the convenience and information of

hereof for all purposes. If insurance is obtained on any of the Certificates, the Initial Certificate and all other
Certificates shall bear an appropriate legend concerning insurance as provided by the insurer.
Section 13. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX-EXEMPTION OF INTEREST ON THE
CERTIFICATES BONDS. (a) Covenants. The Issuer covenants to take any action necessary to assure,
or refrain from any action which would adversely affect, the treatment of the Bonds as obligations described
in section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the interest on which is not
includable in the "gross income" of the holder for purposes of federal income taxation. In furtherance thereof,
the Issuer covenants as follows:
(1) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds
or the projects financed therewith (less amounts deposited to a reserve fund, if any) are used for any
"private business use," as defined in section 141(b)(6) of the Code or, if more than 10 percent of the
proceeds or the projects financed therewith are so used, such amounts, whether or not received by
the Issuer, with respect to such private business use, do not, under the terms of this Order or any
underlying arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than 10
percent of the debt service on the Bonds, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of the Code;
(2) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use" described
in subsection (1) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the projects financed
therewith (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the amount in excess of 5 percent
is used for a "private business use" which is "related" and not "disproportionate," within the meaning
of section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the governmental use;
(3) to take any action to assure that no amount which is greater than the lesser of
$5,000,000, or 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund,
if any) is directly or indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than state or local governmental
units, in contravention of section 141(c) of the Code;
(4) to refrain from taking any action which would otherwise result in the Bonds being treated
as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the Code;
(5) to refrain from taking any action that would resuk in the Bonds being "federally
guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code;
(6) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, directly or indirectly, to
acquire or to replace funds which were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire investment property (as
defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) which produces a materially higher yield over the term of
the Bonds, other than investment property acquired with --
(A) proceeds of the Bonds invested for a reasonable temporary period of 3 years
or less or, in the case of a refunding bond, for a period of 30 days or less until such proceeds
are needed for the purpose for which the bonds are issued,
(B) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of section
1.148-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and
0705.055\CO-Ordinance
March 15, 2002 20
(C) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement fund to
the extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds;
(7) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Bonds or amounts treated as
proceeds of the Bonds, as may be necessary, so that the Bonds do not otherwise contravene the
requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to the extent applicable, section
149(d) of the Code (relating to advance refundings); and
(8) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five-year period
(beginning on the date of delivery of the Bonds) an amount that is at least equal to 90 percent of the
"Excess Earnings," within the meaning of section 148(f) of the Code and to pay to the United States
of America, not later than 60 days after the Bonds have been paid in full, 100 percent of the amount
then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under section 148(f) of the Code.
(b) Proceeds. The Issuer understands that the term "proceeds" includes "disposition proceeds" as
defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in the case of refunding bonds, transferred proceeds (if any) and
proceeds of the refunded bonds expended prior to the date of issuance of the Bonds. It is the understanding
of the Issuer that the covenants contained herein are intended to assure compliance with the Code and any
regulations or rulings promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto. In the event
that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which modify or expand provisions of the Code, as
applicable to the Bonds, the Issuer will not be required to comply with any covenant contained herein to the
extent that such failure to comply, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, will not adversely
affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds under section 103 of the Code.
In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which impose additional requirements which
are applicable to the Bonds, the Issuer agrees to comply with the additional requirements to the extent
necessary, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, to preserve the exemption from federal
income taxation of interest on the Bonds under section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the
Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Mayor to execute any documents, certificates or reports required
by the Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the Issuer, which may be permitted by the Code as are
consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Bonds.
Section 14. SALE OF INITIAL CERTIFICATE. The Initial Certificate is hereby sold and shall be
delivered to for cash for the par value thereof and accrued interest
thereon to date of delivery, plus a cash premium of $ . Such premium shall, upon receipt,
be deposited into the Interest and Sinking Fund. It is hereby officially found, determined, and declared that
the Initial Certificate has been sold at public sale to the bidder offering the lowest interest cost, after receiving
sealed bids pursuant to an Official Notice of Sale and Bidding Instructions and Preliminary Official Statement
dated ., 2002 prepared and distributed in connection with the sale of the Initial Certificate.
Said Official Notice of Sale and Bidding Instructions, Preliminary Official Statement and the Official
Statement dated ,2002, and any addenda, supplement, or amendment thereto have
been and are hereby approved by the Issuer, and their use in the offer and sale of the Certificates is hereby
approved. It is further officially found, determined, and declared that the statements and representations
contained in said Official Notice of Sale, Preliminary Official Statement and Official Statement are true and
correct in all material respects, to the best knowledge and belief of the City Council and the Issuer.

Section 15. ALLOCATION OF, AND LIMITATION ON, EXPENDITURES FOR THE
PROJECT. The Issuer covenants to account for the expenditure of sale proceeds and investment earnings
to be used for the purposes described in Section 1 of this Ordinance (the "Project") on its books and records
in accordance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Issuer recognizes that in order for
the proceeds to be considered used for the reimbursement of costs, the proceeds must be allocated to
expenditures within 18 months of the later of the date that (1) the expenditure is made, or (2) the Project is
completed; but in no event later than three years after the date on which the original expenditure is paid. The
foregoing notwithstanding, the Issuer recognizes that in order for proceeds to be expended under the Internal
Revenue Code, the sale proceeds or investment earnings must be expended no more than 60 days after the
earlier of (1) the fifth anniversary of the delivery of the Certificates, or (2) the date the Certificates are
retired. The Issuer agrees to obtain the advice of nationally-recognized bond counsel if such expenditure fails
to comply with the foregoing to assure that such expenditure will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status
of the Certificates. For purposes hereof, the Issuer shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it
obtains an opinion that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income
tax purposes from gross income of the interest.
Section 16. DISPOSITION OF PROJECT. The Issuer covenants that the property constituting the
Project will not be sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the receipt by the Issuer of cash or
other compensation, unless the Issuer obtains an opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel that such sale
or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Certificates. For purposes hereof,
the Issuer shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains a legal opinion that such failure to
comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the
interest.
Section 17. INTEREST EARNINGS ON CERTIFICATE PROCEEDS. Interest earnings derived
from the investment of proceeds from the sale of the Initial Certificate shall be used along with other proceeds
for the purposes for which the Certificates are issued; provided that after completion of such purposes, if any
of such interest earnings remain on hand, such interest earnings shall be deposited in the Interest and Sinking
Fund. It is further provided, however, that any interest earnings on certificate proceeds which are required
to be rebated to the United States of America pursuant to Section 13 hereof in order to prevent the Certifi-
cates from being "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of the Code shall be so rebated and not considered as
interest earnings for the purposes of this Section.
Section 18. DTC REGISTRATION. The Certificates initially shall be issued and delivered in such
manner that no physical distribution of the Certificates will be made to the public, and The Depository Trust
Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, initially will act as depository for the Certificates. DTC has
represented that it is a limited purpose trust company incorporated under the laws of the State of New York,
a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered under Section 17A of the federal Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Issuer accepts, but in no way verifies, such representations. The
Initial Certificate authorized by this Ordinance shall be delivered to and registered in the name of the
Purchaser. However, it is a condition of delivery and sale that the Purchaser, immediately after such delivery,
shall cause the Paying Agent/Registrar, as provided for in this Ordinance, to cancel said Initial Certificate and
deliver in exchange therefor a substitute Certificate for each maturity of such Initial Certificate, with each
such substitute Certificate to be registered in the name of CEDE & CO., the nominee of DTC, and it shall
be the duty of the Paying Agent/Registrar to take such action. It is expected that DTC will hold the
Certificates on behalf of the Purchaser and/or the DTC Participants, as defined and described in the Official
0705.055\CO-Ordinance
March 15, 2002 22
Statement referred to and approved in Section 14 hereof (the "DTC Participants"). So long as each
Certificate is registered in the name of CEDE & CO., the Paying Agent/Registrar shall treat and deal with
DTC in all respects the same as if it were the actualand beneficial owner thereof. It is expected that DTC
will maintain a book entry system which will identify beneficial ownership of the Certificates by DTC Partici-
pants in integral amounts of $5,000, with transfers of ownership being effected on the records of DTC and
the DTC Participants pursuant to rules and regulations established by them, and that the substitute Certificates
initially deposited with DTC shall be immobilized and not be further exchanged for substitute Certificates
except as hereinafter provided. The Issuer is not responsible or liable for any functions of DTC, will not be
responsible for paying any fees or charges with respect to its services, will not be responsible or liable for
maintaining, supervising, or reviewing the records of DTC or the DTC Participants, or protecting any interests
or rights of the beneficial owners of the Certificates. It shall be the duty of the Purchaser and the DTC
Participants to make all arrangements with DTC to establish this book-entry system, the beneficial ownership
of the Certificates, and the method of paying the fees and charges of DTC. The Issuer does not represent,
nor does it in any way covenant that the initial book-entry system established with DTC will be maintained
in the future. The Issuer reserves the right and option at any time in the future, in its sole discretion, to
terminate the DTC (CEDE & CO.) book-entry only registration requirement described above, and to permit
the Certificates to be registered in the name of any owner. If the Issuer exercises its right and option to
terminate such requirement, it shall give written notice of such termination to the Paying Agent/Registrar and
to DTC, and thereafter the Paying Agent/Registrar shall, upon presentation and proper request, register any
Certificate in any name as provided for in this Ordinance. Notwithstanding the initial establishment of the
foregoing book-entry system with DTC, if for any reason any of the originally delivered substitute Certificates
is duly filed with the Paying Agent/Registrar with proper request for transfer and substitution, as provided for
in this Ordinance, substitute Certificates will be duly delivered as provided in this Ordinance, and there will
be no assurance or representation that any book-entry system will be maintained for such Certificates.
Section 19. CONTINUING DISCLOSURE. (a) Annual Reports. (i) The Issuer shall provide
annually to each NRMSIR and any SID, within six months after the end of each fiscal year ending in or after

operating data to be provided pursuant to this Section may be set forth in full in one or more documents or

by the Issuer to provide financial information or operating data in accordance with subsection (a) of this
Section by the time required by such subsection.
(c) Limitations, Disclaimers, and Amendments. (i) The Issuer shall be obligated to observe and
perform the covenants specified in this Section for so long as, but only for so long as, the Issuer remains an
"obligated person" with respect to the Certificates within the meaning of the Rule, except that the Issuer in
any event will give the notice required by Subsection (b) hereof of any Certificate calls and defeasance that
cause the Issuer to no longer be such an "obligated person".
(ii) The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the registered owners and beneficial
owners of the Certificates, and nothing in this Section, express or implied, shall give any benefit or any legal
or equitable right, remedy, or claim hereunder to any other person. The Issuer undertakes to provide only the
financialinformation, operating data, financial statements, and notices which it has expressly agreed to provide
pursuant to this Section and does not hereby undertake to provide any other information that may be relevant
or material to a complete presentation of the Issuer's financial results, condition, or prospects or hereby
undertake to update any information provided in accordance with this Section or otherwise, except as
expressly provided herein. The Issuer does not make any representation or warranty concerning such
information or its usefulness to a decision to invest in or sell Certificates at any future date.

March 15, 2002 24
(iii) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE ISSUER, ITS OFFICERS, AGENTS AND
EMPLOYEES, BE LIABLE TO THE REGISTERED OWNER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY
CERTIFICATE OR ANY OTHER PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR DAMAGES
RESULTING IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY BREACH BY THE ISSUER, WHETHER
NEGLIGENT OR WITHOUT FAULT ON ITS PART, OF ANY COVENANT SPECIFIED IN THIS
SECTION, BUT EVERY RIGHT AND REMEDY OF ANY SUCH PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR
TORT, FOR OR ON ACCOUNT OF ANY SUCH BREACH SHALL BE LIMITED TO AN ACTION
FOR MANDAMUS OR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.
(iv) No default by the Issuer in observing or performing its obligations under this Section shall
comprise a breach of or default under the Ordinance for purposes of any other provision of this Ordinance.
Nothing in this Section is intended or shall act to disclaim, waive, or otherwise limit the duties of the Issuer
under federal and state securities laws.
(v) The provisions of this Section may be amended by the Issuer from time to time to adapt to
changed circumstances that arise from a change in legal requirements, a change in law, or a change in the
identity, nature, status, or type of operations of the Issuer, but only if (1) the provisions of this Section, as so
amended, would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or sell Certificates in the primary offering of the
Certificates in compliance with the Rule, taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule
since such offering as well as such changed circumstances and (2) either (a) the registered owners of a
majority in aggregate principal amount (or any greater amount required by any other provision of this
Ordinance that authorizes such an amendment) of the outstanding Certificates consent to such amendment
or (b) a person that is unaffiliated with the Issuer (such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determined
that such amendment will not materially impair the interest of the registered owners and beneficial owners
of the Certificates. If the Issuer so amends the provisions of this Section, it shall include with any amended
financial information or operating data next provided in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section an
explanation, in narrative form, of the reason for the amendment and of the impact of any change in the type
of financial information or operating data so provided. The Issuer may also amend or repeal the provisions
of this continuing disclosure agreement if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable provision of the Rule or
a court of final jurisdiction enters judgment that such provisions of the Rule are invalid, but only if and to the
extent that the provisions of this sentence would not prevent an underwriter from lawfully purchasing or
selling Certificates in the primary offering of the Certificates.
(d) Definitions. As used in this Section, the following terms have the meanings ascribed to such
terms below:
"MSRB" means the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.
"NRMSIR" means each person whom the SEC or its staff has determined to be a nationally
recognized municipal securities information repository within the meaning of the Rule from time to time.
"Rule" means SEC Rule 15c2-12, as amended from time to time.

0705.055\CO-Ordinance

"SID" means any person designated by the State of Texas or an authorized department, officer, or
agency thereof as, and determined by the SEC or its staff to be, a state information depository within the
meaning of the Rule from time to time.
Section 20. PROTECTION OF PLEDGE. Chapter 1208, Government Code, applies to the issuance
of the Certificates and the pledge of the taxes and surplus revenues granted by the Issuer under Sections 8
and 9 of this Ordinance, and is therefore valid, effective, and perfected. If Texas law is amended at any time
while the Certificates are outstanding and unpaid such that the pledge of the taxes and surplus revenues
granted by the Issuer under Sections 8 and 9 of this Ordinance is to be subject to the filing requirements of
Chapter 9, Texas Business & Commerce Code, then in order to preserve to the registered owners of the
Certificates the perfection of the security interest in said pledge, the Issuer agrees to take such measures as
it determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas law to comply with the applicable provisions of
Chapter 9, Texas Business & Commerce Code and enable a filing to perfect the security interest in said
pledge to occur.
Section 21. FURTHER PROCEDURES. The Mayor of the Issuer, the City Secretary of the Issuer,
and all other officers, employees, and agents of the Issuer, and each of them, shall be and they are hereby

acts and things and to execute, acknowledge, and deliver in the name and under the corporate seal and on
behalf of the Issuer all such instruments, whether or not herein mentioned, as may be necessary or desirable
in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this Certificate Ordinance, the Certificates, the sale of the
Certificates, and the Notice of Sale and Official Statement; and the Assistant City Manager/Finance of the
City shall cause the expenses of issuance of the Certificates to be paid from the proceeds of sale of the Initial
Certificate or from other lawfully available funds of the Issuer. In case any officer whose signature shall
appear on any Certificate shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such Certificate, such signature
shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officer had remained in office
until such delivery.
Section 22. OPEN MEETINGS. The City Council has found and determined that the meeting at
which this Ordinance is considered is open to the public and that notice thereof was given in accordance with
the provisions of the Texas Open Meetings, Law, Tex. Gov't. Code, Chapter 551, as amended.

Michael A. Conduff, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Receive a report and hold a discussion concerning cable television regulated rate adjustment
filing by Charter Communications.
BACKGROUND:
The City is certified to regulate cable television rates for basic cable service, equipment,
changing tiers, and the hourly service charge. Under thc current franchise agreement, Charter
Communications has agreed to file for new rates only once per year. The city received thc
appropriate rate adjustment filing Federal Communications Commission Forms (1240 and 1205)
on March 1, 2002. Thc City has one year from that date to issue a rate order establishing the
Maximum Permitted Rates (MPR) that Charter Communications may charge. However, Charter
has the right to implement these proposed rates on June 1, 2002 until City C6uncil sets thc new
MPR's.
In their filing, Charter Communications indicates that the new rates are the result of "certain
external costs, (i.e., programming, channel changes, copyright), inflation, tree-up adjustments
and increased cost associated with delivering cable service." FCC Form 1240 calculates the
maximum permitted rate for basic cable service. Form 1205 calculates maximum permitted rates
for equipment, changing tiers, and the hourly service charge.
We contracted with Connie Cannady of C2 Consulting to assist staff with the rate analysis. Ms.
Cannady is familiar with Charter Communication's cost analysis practices and has done our rate
analysis for the past several years. Ms. Cannady's report will be available for the regular council
meeting on May 14. There is also a public hearing scheduled for the regular council meeting on
April 16. Notification of these meeting will be posted on our website, Channel 26, several
Charter Media channels, and the media will be sent a press release.
This time schedule will allow Council an opportunity to pass a rate resolution prior to June 1,
2002. However, this schedule is dependent on the quickness that Charter responds to our request
for information.

A comparison of the cable operator's existing Maximum Permitted Rates follows:
Charter Communications Maximum Permitted Rates
Item Current Proposed
Basic Cable $9.78/month $10.19/month
Non-addressable Converter $0.98/month N/A
Digital Converter $3.95/month $6.60/month
Remote Control $0.20/month $0.20/month

Digital Relocate A/O None* $32.96
Digital Truck Roll $20.57 $27.60
Modem Install $44.70 None**
*Charter had not previously filed a rate for this type of service work. It appears that these filings
are giving a cost break to customers with prewired connections.
** Charter did not file a rate for this category. Internet service is not a regulated service,
however staff thinks that because Charter requires intemet customers to subscribe to basic only
cable service we might have a persuasive argument for regulating this rate.
ADA/EOE/ADEA www.cityofdenton.com (TDD 800-735-2989)
April 2, 2002 Council WS Agenda Cable Rates Page 3 of 3
Charter's latest filing indicates that they intend to raise the basic cable service rate $0.41 per
month ($9.78 to $10.19). Their filing also contains an increase of $2.65 for the digital converter
rental ($3.95 to $6.60). They did not file a rate for the non-addressable converter because we no
longer have these converters in our system. Their rate for changing tiers is reduced by $0.01,
while their remote rentals will increase will remain the same ($0.20). The proposed hourly
service charge will increase $4.67 ($22.12 to $26.79). Regarding the hourly service rate, it
should be noted that Charter has set certain time standards for certain types of installations which
we asked our rate consultant to examine.
OPTIONS:
1) Direct staff to prepare a resolution approving Charter Communications' rates as filed.
2) Direct staff to prepare a resolution approving rates as determined by C2 Consulting.
3) Take no official action prior to June 1, 2002 and Charter Communications may implement
their filed rates on June 1, 2002. If Charter Communications implements their filed rates
on June 1, 2002, and if Council approves lower rates after June 1, 2002, then Charter
Communications must implement the lower rates immediately. Charter Communications
may attempt to obtain an order by the FCC or a court staying the effectiveness of the
City's rate order and thus allowing implementation of the filed rates. However, if the FCC
or the courts uphold the lower rates, Charter Communications would have to rebate the
difference to subscribers or factor the overcharges into next year's calculations.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commission):
None
FISCAL INFORMATION:
Higher rates would impact subscribers. City receives 5% of Charter Communications gross
revenues as franchise fees.

Dear Mr. Cabrales:
Enclosed, please find Charter Communication's ("Charter") annual rate justification filing
for 2002. Charter is hereby submitting this filing pursuant to the Federal Communication
Commission's ("FCC") rate-setting methodology.
Upon receipt of this letter, the City is notified of Charter's updated maximum permitted rate
effective June 2002. Please refer to the "Additional Information Attachment", following this
cover letter, for the rate to be implemented on the Basic Service Tier. These changes are the
result of certain external costs (i.e., programming, channel changes, copyright), inflation,
tree-up adjustments, and increased costs associated with delivering cable service. Please be
advised that all customers will be notified of any rate changes in accordance with FCC rules.
If you have any questions about the filings, please feel free to call me at (214) 523-8529.
Respectfully submitted,

SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding the Small Area
Planning Program.
BACKGROUND
As required by Resolution 98-002, the Ci(v qf Denton 2001 Small Area Planning
Program Annual Report is provided for City Council review (attached).
On January 6, 1998, City Council passed Resolution R98-002, which created the City of
DeNon Small Area Planning Program. The Small Area Planning program was designed
and implememed to address specific areas in greater detail than in the DeNon Plan, with
the imem that property owners and residems of within the area initiate and champion
their own plan.
Before 2002 Small Area Planning Program activities begin, Council is asked to confirm
or revise the following prioritized activities recommended by staff:
· Complete the two small area plans in process
1. Continue work on the Downtown Master Plan
2. Resume work on the Southeast Denton Plan by reopening the
process
· Initiate four Small Area Plans
3. West Oak Area
4. University of North Texas
5. Fort Worth Drive
6. Elm Courts
· Facilitate Neighborhood Preservation research activities (June 11th long
range planning session)
OPTIONS
City Council may confirm the staff recommendations, revise the priorities listed, or add
or remove small area plans to be addressed by staff.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommendations are listed above, and are discussed in more detail in the annual
report.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
The schedules identified for different activities are noted in the annual report.
projects identified, if approved, will likely extend staff activities into 2003.
The
FISCAL INFORMATION
The cost of each plan for publication and meeting materials, beyond already budgeted
city staff hours, is estimated to be $8,000-$10,000. Staff is proposing an aggressive work
plan, however it is unlikely that we will be able to initiate and complete all four proposed
small area plans in the 2002 calendar year. Pending City Council direction, staff will
identify alternative resources beyond the small area planning staff.

2001 ANNUAL REPORT
The City of DeNon Small Area Planning Program was created by City Council on January 8, 1998.
The program started slowly in 1998 and began to accelerate in 1999 with the adoption of the Fry
Street Small Area Plan, the first in a series of community plans that implemem The DeNon Plan.
Following adoption of the Fry Street Plan, in 2000, two major small area plans were proposed. The
Southeast DeNon Neighborhood Plan and the Downtown University Core District (DUCD) Plan.
In 2001, the Small Area Planning Program experienced mixed results. The Dowmown Master Plan
was initiated in May 2001, but was delayed pending the outcome of the DeNon Developmem Code
adopted in February 2001. In addition, an incomplete draft of the Southeast DeNon Small Area
Plan was presemed to City Council in March 2001, and plan completion has been delayed
indefinitely in response to criticisms that neighborhood participation was not all-inclusive. At the
present time, the Southeast Denton Small Area Plan process is on hold pending Council direction.
The Denia Neighborhood Small Area Plan was adopted by the City Council in December 2001, and
the rapid progress made on this plan is a credit to the energy of the neighborhood.
In 2001, the Comprehensive Planning Division functions and the Small Area Planning Division
functions were consolidated. While the Division has taken on additional duties including
annexations, policy studies, long-range planning activities and planning research; the developmem
of small area plans remains a primary function of the new Division.
As required by Resolution Number R98-002, an annual report outlining the activities of the Small
Area Planning Section of the Planning and Development Department must be submitted to City
Council. This is the third Small Area Planning Program Annual Report, and covers all 2001
activities.
The 2001 Small Area Planning Goals idemified below were approved by City Council on February
27, 2001:
Pursue three small area plans:
a. Dowmown University Core District Plan (Dowmown Master Plan)
b. Southeast Denton Small Area Plan
c. Denia Neighborhood Small Area Plan
II.
Develop Small Area Planning Selection Criteria to assist City Council in idemifying
future small area planning sites
The following is an itemized

accomplishing the
On February 20, 2001, the City Council authorized the DowNown Master Plan contract with
Fregonese Calthorpe Associates (FCA) in the amouN of $112,000. The primary focus of the plan is
the balance between encouraging developmeN and exploring partnership opportunities with private
investors, while at the same time ensuring that proper design practices are employed. A second area
of iNerest is that of connectivity within the larger DowNown/University Core district. Five
separate tasks are to be undertaken by the consultants. The following three tasks have been
completed.
Task 1: Market Assessment
Assessment of the market potential of Denton's historic downtown area is a critical element
of the downtown master plan. The market assessment identifies the types of development
that are most likely to occur in the area will help guide local planning decisions now and in
the future. It also ideNifies the existing barriers to dowNown developmeN and underlying
issues that might affect future development.
Task 2: Parking, Transportation and RedevelopmeN Analysis
The consultaNs ideNified redevelopmeN costs associated with areas of the dowNown based
on property valuation, renal rates and construction assumptions based on the DowNown
University Core Zoning Districts as part of the Draft Demon DevelopmeN Code.
Task 3: Street Design
The ConsultaNs and staff looked at the street hierarchy of the Study Area and worked on
assigning different types of street cross sections to help integrate the transportation, land use,
and pedestrian environment.
A long range planning work session will be held by City Council on April 9, 2002 to discuss the
progress of the Downtown Master Plan.
City Council ideNified the Southeast DeNon Area as an area in need of revitalization and
rehabilitation and as having unique characteristics, issues and attributes warranting special attention.
On August 24, 1999, at the request of former Council Member Carl Young, City Council directed
staff to initiate the Southeast Denton Small Area Plan. The scope of work for the small area plan
ideNified a 12-15 month schedule, with the plan's adoption aNicipated for March 2001.
Work on the plan proceeded throughoN 2001, and several neighborhood meetings were conducted
to work with stakeholders. A preliminary draft of the plan was completed in February 2001. In
March 2001, the DeNon Housing Authority unveiled plans for developmeN projects that would
require five separate rezoning petitions. The Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed the
petitions in June 2001, and prior to City Council review in July 2001, copies of the draft small area
plan were presented to the Council. At that time, staff considered the draft Southeast Denton Small
Area Plan to be incomplete, and intended to pursue further revisions and improvements.
-2-
The Denton Housing Authority rezoning petitions met with considerable public debate, and during
this time, the draft plan was criticized. A major concern voiced was that the draft plan did not
involve a majority of the residents and property owners in the neighborhood, and that improved
participation would be necessary for the plan to move forward. Comments were received indicating
that a small area plan is not needed and that current efforts should be discontinued. In keeping with
the thought that small area plans should be facilitated only at the request of stakeholders, and in
response to the criticisms, staff postponed further attempts to work on the Southeast Denton plan.
At the current time, the Southeast Denton Small Area Plan is on hold.
The City Council approved the Denia Neighborhood Small Area Plan on December 4, 2001. The
plan provides a number of recommendations and strategies to address the physical and social
concerns identified by Denia area stakeholders. The plan also identifies the neighborhood vision
statement, which will be used as a conceptual guide in helping the neighborhood obtain the quality
of life it desires. Plan recommendations were developed in ways to create public and private
partnerships. The partnerships that were developed include:
Code Enforcement
Volunteers are organizing a neighborhood action committee to conduct regularly scheduled
neighborhood audits of neglected properties. Committee will work with Code Enforcement
Department to determine what the audits should focus on identifying. Results of audit will be
submitted to Code Enforcement officers for follow-up action. This public/private partnership
encourages the neighborhood to take a proactive role in addressing code enforcement
violation in the neighborhood. The neighborhood audits are not punitive in nature.
Neighborhood audits that identify repeat code violators will be submitted to City Code
Enforcement officers for follow-up action.
Drainage and Parks
Residents want to develop a neighborhood trail following the existing drainage easement that
runs parallel to McCormick Street. This public/public partnership has paired the Drainage
Section of the Engineering Department and the Parks and Recreation Department. Both
Departments have consented to study the feasibility of developing a neighborhood trail along
the McCormick Drainage Channel.
Housing
Residents have agreed to create a "Housing Review Committee" of the Denia Area
Community Group. Duties of the Committee include the following:
o Developing an inventory of potential sites for new housing and making site-specific
recommendations for the appropriate type of housing.
o Developing criteria for newly constructed housing, relocated housing, and major
housing rehabilitation projects.
o Making criteria known to developers, investors, and public agencies that have either
decision-making authority or resources available to assist development.
o Working with potential developers early in the process.
-3-
This private/private partnership encourages potemial developers in the area to form an open line of
communication with the residems and to work with the community early in the developmem
process to resolve any potential issues.
Staff has developed criteria for small area planning sites that is specific yet flexible enough to
address both developed and undeveloped areas. The criteria manual provides the rationale for
submitting potemial small area planning sites to City Council. The Small Area Planning Overview,
which includes the draft criteria manual, is attached to this report. The draft criteria manual will
be reviewed and refined before finalized.
Neighborhood Planning: Advocacy and Education
a. Staff makes presentations on the Small Area Planning Program to various neighborhood
groups and associations. Staff has attended meetings with and provided technical assistance
to the Panhandle-Egan-Congress Area of Neighbors Association (PECAN), the Southeast
DeNon Neighborhood Association (SEDNA), the Fort Worth Drive Association and the
West Oak Area Neighborhood Association.
City staff partnered with the University of North Texas and other city departmems to host a
seminar on "Celebrating Communities-Building On Our Strengths". Small Area Planning
staff developed and delivered a presemation emitled "Can Cities Empower
Neighborhoods?"
c. Staff also regularly attends neighborhood meetings related to zoning cases and proposed
developments.
-4-
Since the Small Area Program's inception, many citizens have become familiar with the benefits
and merits of small area planning. More and more groups are becoming involved in neighborhood
planning and are requesting that the City consider their neighborhood for a small area plan. As a
required component of the Small Area Planning Program Annual Report, a list of candidate projects
is provided for Council review:
a. Downtown Master Plan

b. Southeast Denton Small Area Plan
Staff is prepared to complete the Southeast Denton Small Area Plan, pending
Council direction. If resumed, staff recommends reopening the process to
examine if neighborhood participation can be improved.
Several areas have been identified as potential candidates for small area planning activities.
Council endorsement is needed to pursue small area plans and a commitment of city resources is
also needed to complete them. Staff recommends the following priorities:
The West Oak area is generally located south of Scripture, north of Hickory, east of
Bonnie Brae and west of Welch. (Specific definition of the study area boundary will
occur once meetings begin.) The members of the West Oak Homeowners Association
have formally requested that a Small Area Plan be developed for their neighborhood.
Staff recommends beginning the process with the homeowners association.
The City has extended an offer to UNT to jointly develop a "University Mobility Plan"
intended to address pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and vehicular access and linkages to
-5-
UNT. If a plan is developed, grant opportunities to implement the plan should improve
as well. As UNT student enrollment increases, pressure to develop suitable student
housing is becoming a significant issue. UNT needs to address student needs, while
neighborhoods in the area desire to preserve their quality of life. The role of UNT is
very important to the City of Denton - the development of a strong working relationship
is possible if coordinated planning efforts are undertaken. If directed by City Council,
staff will begin formal contact with UNT to initiate a UNT Area Plan.
The Fort Worth Drive area is generally located south of Eagle, north of Hobson, and east
and west of Fort Worth Drive. (Specific definition of the study area boundary will occur
once meetings begin.) Staff has met with the Fort Worth Drive Association and
discussed the Small Area Planning Program. The Association has been asked to submit
a letter indicating that there is interest in City Council pursuing a small area plan.
Several discussions related to the zoning classifications assigned to this area led to the
conclusion that a small area plan might allow a more detailed land use approach.
The subject area is generally located east of Bolivar to Taliaferro, west of Locust (to the
properties fronting west side of Elm), north of Sherman, and south of Orr. The Planning
and Zoning Commission has recommended that this area be considered as a future small
area plan.
City Council has scheduled a long range planning work session to address Neighborhood
Preservation on June 11, 2002. Several city departments and outside groups will participate in the
development of information related to this topic, such as infill development, rental housing
regulations, utilities policies, regulatory barriers, impacts of development-related fees, availability
of housing program benefits, impacts of liens and tax delinquencies, historic preservation, and other
issues. Small area planning staff will be involved; small area plans may provide an existing
mechanism to coordinate implementation strategies targeting neighborhood preservation.

SMALL AREA PLANNING PROGRAM OVERVIEW
AND DRAFT CRITERIA MANUAL
PURPOSE
A small area plan is the City of Denton's policy guide regarding the future of a specific area within the
city. The small area planning process provides analysis, recommendations, and implementation
guidelines for specific areas of Denton. The small area planning documents are supplementary to
Denton's Comprehensive Plan. These planning documents address important issues in specific areas of
Denton in greater detail than the Comprehensive Plan. Small area plan recommendations are devised
through a review process with residents, business owners, and other stakeholders. These
recommendations most often address issues of land-use, zoning, economic development, transportation,
infrastructure, safety, and social service delivery. The scope of the plans can vary from addressing only a
few specific issues, to providing a comprehensive approach to all issues and opportunities in the area.
Small area plans are based on a thorough analysis of the area and generally represent a consensus of the
residents and other stakeholders who have participated in the planning process.
The small area planning process is an interdisciplinary approach to planning and will rely on the
cooperation of all City of Denton departments and other governmental entities. The planning document
produced for the area is adopted by City Council resolution and provide direction of long and short-term
planning issues ranging from the protection of existing neighborhoods to encouraging growth where
appropriate.
WHEN AND WHERE TO PLAN
There are two ways that a small area plan can be initiated. First, area residents or an organization
representing area residents may request a plan for their area. Second, the City Council, Planning and
Zoning Commission, or city staff may initiate a small area plan. The Planning Department will submit an
annual list of potential small area plan sites to the City Council. Based upon established criteria, the City
Council will prioritize the small area plan sites in a framework similar to the Capital Improvements
Program, which covers several years.
It is not the intent of the small area planning program to divide the city into target areas and prepare plans
for those areas. Therefore, residents and stakeholders will determine plan boundaries for the proposed
planning area. The planning area should be characterized by common interests, geographic features, and
shared services.
Small area plans maybe initiated for residential neighborhoods, business and commercial areas,
transportation corridors, and environmentally sensitive areas. Criteria for the selection of small area plan
sites are flexible enough to address issues of both developed and undeveloped areas. Criteria for small
area plan site selection are listed below.

DRAFT SELECTION CRITERIA

-9-
The small area planning process may also be used when city construction projects are proposed. If a
project involves several neighborhoods, or a business area and a neighborhood, or several governmental
entities, a small area plan is encouraged. In these cases, the City of Denton will review the immediate
need of a project to determine if the planning process will negatively impact the ability to complete the
project.
Staff will determine whether or not a guide to development is needed for those areas that do not
meet the minimum small area plan selection criteria.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
The small area planning process is an excellent way for citizens to become actively involved in municipal
government and the future of the community. A series of community meetings will be held in each area
to review the analysis prepared by the staff and for citizens, landowners, business operators, civic
organization and other stakeholders in the area to provide direction on area issues. A questionnaire will
be distributed at these meetings to obtain more information from citizens.
Citizens have the best understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of their neighborhood. The small
area planning process provides citizens with an opportunity to present these facts to the City Council,
Planning and Zoning Commission, and other appointed boards and commissions. As a result of the
development of small area plans, the public will have an opportunity to become better educated about the
planning process.
The small area planning process will involve citizens from the earliest stages. An outreach strategy will
be developed for each area. Staff will request time on the agenda of existing groups such as
neighborhood organization, PTA or school groups, business associations, and/or civic organizations to
discuss the planning process. Other strategies to involve and inform citizens may include:
· Door-to-Door flyers
· Notices to neighborhood organizations and
businesses
· Program on Local access channel
· Use of community bulletin boards
· Announcements to PTA and schools
· Signs announcing meeting
· Notice on utility bills
· Newspaper articles
PHASES OF DEVELOPMENT
There are six phases in the small area planning process. The phases are: Preliminary Planning; Data
Collection and Analysis; Recommendations; Implementation Strategies; Public Review and Plan
Adoption; and Implementation and Evaluation. The time it takes to complete a small area plan is
influenced by the issues to be addressed in the plan. Typically, it will take five to nine months to
complete Phases I through V of the planning process. Phase VI, Implementation and Evaluation, is an
ongoing process that will occur throughout the lifespan of the plan. Descriptions of the objectives and
action steps of each planning phase are listed below.
Phase I: Preliminary Planning (1 month)
Once the City Council has selected and prioritized the small area planning sites, the Research and
Development Division will identify a small area planning team to facilitate the planning process. The
team may include representatives from Planning, Engineering, Economic Development, Utilities, Parks,
and Police Departments. Representatives from other entities such as the Denton Housing Authority,
Denton Independent School District, Texas Women's University, and the University of North Texas may
-11-
be asked to participate. The team's make-up will be determined based on issues to be addressed in the
area. The Research and Development Division of the Planning Department will coordinate the planning
process and be responsible for the Plan publication.
Action Steps: · Develop maps of potential sites with preliminary boundaries
· Prepare written analysis of why each area is a candidate for the small area planning process
· Present potential sites to the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council.
· Develop team for areas selected by City Council.
· Prepare and provide team training.
Phase II: Data Collection and Analysis (1 to 2 months)
The objective of this phase is to gather and analyze background information. Public meetings are used to
hear area concerns and identify the study area boundaries, issues and problems. A thorough analysis of
collected data will include analyzing population trends; reviewing zoning and building permit history;
reviewing traffic and circulation patterns; reviewing environmental considerations such as floodplains,
soils, and aesthetic factors; analyzing commercial needs and employment opportunities; and analyzing
public facilities including roads, parks, utilities, and schools.
Action Steps: · Prepare a preliminary overview based on staff analysis of existing conditions, forecast
projections, and area history.
· Present preliminary information to citizens and stakeholders
· Confirm plan boundaries.
· Collect information from citizens and stakeholders on area issues, needs, and opportunities.
· State goals, objectives, and priorities of the plan.
Phase III: Making Recommendations (1 to 2 months)
Staff, with the direction and advice of area residents and stakeholders, will prepare draft
recommendations that address the issues and solve the problems identified in Phase ! of the small area
planning process. The recommendations should reflect the stakeholders' desires for future development
and growth of the area.
Action Steps:
· Prepare draft recommendations based on the issues identified and the data collected.
· Review comments with residents and stakeholders and amend recommendations to address
comments, as needed.
Phase IV: Develop Implementation Strategies (1 to 2 months)
The objective of this phase is to develop tools and policies to best implement the recommendations made
in Phase II. This will address any conflicts between the recommendations and existing city policies and
ordinances. The implementation strategies outline duties and responsibilities of the city, residents,
business owners and other stakeholders in accomplishing the tasks identified in the recommendations.
The implementation strategies will also establish timeframes and funding sources needed to implement
the recommendations made in Phase II.
- 12-
Action Steps: · Develop tools and policies best suited to implement plan recommendations.
· Establish implementation timeframes and funding sources.
Phase V: Public Review and Plan Adoption (1 to 2 months)
The staff and team will develop a conceptual small area planning document for review by the Planning
Department, other city departments, and interested public officials. A presentation will be made to the
public with an opportunity for public response. Staff will provide the City Council with progress reports
outlining the preliminary analysis, citizens' involvement, and schedule for completion. Based on the
review, the small area planning document will be revised or forwarded to the City Council for adoption
by resolution.
Action Steps: · Present small area planning document for public comment.
· Submit the document to the Planning and Zoning Commission for advisory recommendation.
· Submit the document to the City Council for adoption by resolution.
· Publish completed small area planning document for the area.
Phase VI: Implementation and Evaluation (Ongoing)
After the plan is adopted, staff will present options for the specific implementation tools outlined in the
small area planning document such as ordinances, funding, or regulations. No ordinance will be amended
as the result of adopting a small area planning document, however, ordinance amendments may be
presented separately to the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. The small area planning
document will provide a framework for decision makers to use in malting decisions and to guide the case-
by-case development of the area.
The progress of the plan should be monitored and evaluated on a regular basis to ensure its
success. Periodic evaluations should be performed to determine successes, detect problems, and suggest
improvements to the plan.
Action Steps: · Implement the plan.
· Perform periodic evaluations to determine plan success and shortcomings.
· Provide annual review of implementation to City Council.
PRODUCTS OF SMALL AREA PLANNING
A document will be produced for each small area plan site. The document may be considered a guide or a
plan depending on the content and recommendations for the area. The contents of each document will
vary depending on the specific needs and characteristics of the area. If no amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan is recommended and no changes to ordinances are proposed, the final document will
be considered a guide. However, if amendments are recommended, the document will be referred to as a
plan. This flexibility will help clarify the planning process for each area.
Guide
Each guide will include the following sections: Introduction; Citizen Participation Process; Area Plan
Boundaries and Overview; Existing Conditions and Trends; and Issue Identification and Definition. The
-13-
document may also include attachments within an appendix. A copy of the City Council approval
resolution will be attached.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE
MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT BY
AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS AND THE CITY OF KRUM,
TEXAS PERTAINING TO THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION BY KRUM AND
THE OVERSIZE COST PARTICIPATION BY DENTON FOR THE KRUM
GRAVITY FLOW WASTEWATER MA1N; AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDITURE
OF FUNDS THEREFOR; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND
The City of Krum has proposed to construct a sewer main to bring wastewater flows from
Krum to the City of Denton wastewater collection system. The proposed sewer line from
Krum will discharge into the Hickory Creek Interceptor sewer in the Denton collection
system (see Exhibit I-Map). Staff presented the initial proposal from the City of Krum for
wastewater service to the PUB on August 20, 2001, and to the City Council on
September 11, 2001. The PUB and the Council authorized staff to proceed on
negotiations with the City of Krum. On December 1, 2001 staff presented to PUB the
sewer main oversize concept and costs, where by Krum will construct a sewer line to
convey the wastewater flows from Krum to the Denton collection system, and Denton
will oversize this sewer line to accommodate flows from the northwest corridor within
the Denton CCN. PUB approved this concept negotiated with the City of Krum. This
oversize concept was presented to the Council on December 11, 2001 in the work session
where the Council approved the sewer main oversize concept.
With this authorization, staff has worked with the City of Krum to develop a Interlocal
Agreement (see Exhibit III). The Interlocal Agreement provides the mechanism for
Denton and Krum to enter into a joint participation for construction of the Krum sewer
line. The highlights of the Interlocal Agreement are as follows:
· Krum to design the sewer line, acquire all easements and manage the construction
that meets City of Denton design criteria and specifications.
· Denton will pay for the oversizing of the sewer line to serve the northwest corridor.
· Project is estimated to cost 3.2 million dollars.
· Krum's share is estimated at 1.8 million dollars. Krum will provide 1.4 million
dollars initial capital and get $400,000 financing from Denton.
· Krum will make bi-annual payments to Denton for a period of 20 years to amortize
the $400,000 financed amount.
Denton's oversize cost is estimated at 1.4 million dollars.
Krum will pay impact fees for all existing and future connections at the prevailing
rate.
To help expedite construction of the sewer line project Denton authorizes Krum to
purchase easements within the city limits of Denton by eminent domain proceedings
including condemnation if necessary. The Denton legal department has reviewed this
request from Krum and determined it is permissible to provide Krum the eminent
domain authority.

FISCAL INFORMATION
The Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant Expansion project bids were received on
October 30, 2001. The project construction budget was 19.5 million dollars. From the
bids received it is estimated there will be savings of 1.3 million dollars from the budgeted
amount. In the FY2002 $200,000 is included for sewer main oversize participation.
These monies along with the bond sale in spring 2002 will be used to fund the Krum
sewer line project.

the Project Cost, all necessary easements. The deeds, plats, md other documents so obtained by
Krum shall be reviewed and approved as to form and substance by Denton prior to the beginning
of construction. Krum has informed Denton that it needs to speed up the development of the
Krum Line Project by possibly performing construction of the line in phases. Denton recognizes
that fact, and agrees to reasonably approve a construction contract providing for multiple phases;
and Denton is willing to approve the easements obtained, as to form and substance, in
construction phases, if need be; but Krum understands that Denton will not, and cannot assume
any additional financial risks or liabilities attributable to its serial approval of easements
throughout the term of the Project.
In the event Krum is unable to acquire any needed easements and condemnation becomes
necessary, Denton shall immediately assist Krum, upon its request. Krum shall provide Denton
with information and any requested documentation of its efforts to obtain such easements,
including evidence of the negotiations and offers made to the affected property owners. Prior to
condemnation suits brought by Krum, the City of Denton reserves the right to negotiate with the
property owners, in order to assist Krum. Any easements for the Krum Line Project obtained by
Krum within the City of Denton shall be assigned to Denton, if easements are not already
acquired in Denton's name, prior to acceptance of the Krum Line Project.
Further, that subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Denton authorizes
Krum to acquire such easements within the city limits of Denton by purchase or by eminent
domain proceedings. Denton finds that there is a public need and necessity to acquire these
easements by purchase or eminent domain proceedings. Should eminent domain proceedings be
necessary, Krum is authorized to condemn and acquire said easements for this Project, in the
name of Denton.
4. Krum's share of the Project Cost shall be computed as the cost to survey, design,
acquire easements, and construct a fifteen (15',) inch diameter sewer line, including all
appurtenances such as manholes, metering station, etc. for a complete project.
5. Denton's share of the Project Costs as between Denton and Krum shall be computed
as the difference between the total Project Costs and Krum's share of the Project Costs. Each
party's respective share of the Project Costs shall be based upon final audited numbers.
6. By way of example, Krum's portion of the Project Costs for the Krum Line Project
is currently estimated and projected to be $1,800,000. Krum will fund $1,400,000 from its
existing bond sale. The remainder of the Krum share: $400,000 plus $20,000 in estimated bond
selling costs (hereinafter termed the "Principal Component Amount"), is computed by the
procedure and methodology as set forth in the "Contract Payment Schedule" which is marked as
Exhibit II, and is attached hereto and incorporated herewith by reference. The Principal
Component Amount shall include Krum's share of the capital cost for the Krum Line Project
plus Krum's share of the portion of the other Project Costs, as defined in paragraph II.(h.)
hereinabove, also including, without limitation, any interest accruing on the Bonds during the
construction phase of the Project. Krum shall also pay its share of the portion of such other and
further costs and expenses, if any, as calculated by Denton to Krum that are reasonably incurred
and are associated with the construction and installation of the Krum Line Project, that are
mutually agreeable as between the Parties.
7. The Principal Component Amount plus the total Interest Factor amount [i.e., the
cumulative annual interest amortized over a payout period of twenty (20) years based upon
Financing the Principal Component Amount at the Interest Factor] computed over twenty (20)
years at Denton's Interest Factor, which is 5.25% [estimated until fixed by Bond Sale] per
annum, and which shall be hereinafter termed the "Repayment Amount." By way of example,
the annual Repayment Amount on a projected Principal Component Amount of $420,000 is
$34,170.68 [estimated until the interest rate is fixed by Bond Sale], as computed and set forth
in Exhibit II attached hereto and incorporated herewith by reference.
8. Krum shall pay Denton the Repayment Amount in contractual payments in
accordance with the following provisions and factors, and as shown as the "Contract Payment
Schedule" attached hereto as Exhibit II:
Krum will pay 1/40 of the product of Krum's allocable percentage share of
Project Costs times the combined total of the Principal Component
Amount and the Interest Factor amount portion of each payment
respecting total Project Costs in level payments, due and payable on
January 1 and July 1 of each calendar year for a period of twenty (20)
successive years; such payments being hereinafter referred to as the
"Contractual Payments," with the fa'st such Contractual Payment being
payable from Krum to Denton on July 1, 2003; and
The Interest Factor amount utilized over the twenty (20) year Contract
Payment Schedule to determine the amount of the level Contractual
Payments, shall be that interest rate paid by Denton on the Bonds issued
by Denton used to finance the Project, which is the rate of 5.25%
[estimated rate until fixed by Bond sale] per annum.
For purposes of determining the level Contractual Payment amount due
hereunder, the Principal Component Amount shall be based and amortized
on a standard twenty (20) year debt amortization schedule and upon the
declining balance method (applying the Interest Factor amount) respecting
the determination of the Contract payoff balance in the event that Krum's
contractual obligations to Denton hereunder are prepaid as permitted by
the provisions of paragraph III.8.d. hereinbelow.
Provided however, Krum reserves the right to prepay its contractual
obligations arising hereunder to Denton, without penalty, at any time after
the fifth anniversary date of the execution date of this Agreement.
Prepayment during the fa'st five (5) years following the execution date of
this Agreement shall be prohibited, unless both the City of Denton and the
City of Krum mutually agree to waive such prepayment restriction in
writing.
The Contractual payoff balance shall be determined at the time of the
prepayment, as if the Contract Payment Schedule attached hereto as
Exhibit II, were a mortgage debt being prepaid. In the event of
prepayment, Krum shall be responsible only for the Interest Factor amount
calculated to the date of prepayment, and shall not be responsible for the
payment of any further sums hereunder to Denton, other than the
remaining, unpaid Principal Component Amount. In the event Krum
prepays its contractual obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, on a date
other than a scheduled Contract payment due date, then the Parties agree
that interest shall be prorated through the date of such payment(s).
9. To determine the final Project Costs of the Krum Line, Denton shall have the
right to inspect any and all records of Krum, its agents, employees, contractors or subcontractors,
and shall have the right to require Krum to submit any necessary information, documents,
invoices, receipts or other records to verify the final audited Project Costs of the Krum Line
Project.
10. Krum will deliver wastewater to the Denton wastewater system at the following
"Point of Entry":
a. To the Hickory Creek Interceptor Main
11. Under this Agreement Denton agrees to receive wastewater from Krum up to
the full capacity of a fifteen (15',) inch diameter sewer line. The capacity of a fifteen (15',)inch
sewer line shall be determined based on the minimum slope in the sewer line from the final
design drawings, and may be revised based on as-built conditions. The Parties agree that Krum's
contractual right respecting the foregoing amount of capacity shall survive the payment and/or
prepayment of this Agreement, and is a contractual property right owned by Krum that survives
the term of this Agreement.
12. Krum will pay one hundred (100%) percent of the cost to construct wastewater
metering stations, meeting Denton criteria, to measure the quantity and rate of wastewater being
delivered at each Point of Entry to the Denton wastewater system. Upon construction and
completion of the metering stations, Denton shall own and operate these facilities. Denton shall
calibrate these facilities with regard to flow measurements at least once a year, or more often if
required. The cost of calibration of these facilities shall be borne by Denton as a System Cost
under the Wholesale Wastewater Treatment Services Contract Between the Cities of Denton and
Krum, Texas.
13. Under this Agreement, Krum is purchasing and acquiring a contractual right
and interest in and to the equivalent of the capacity of a fifteen (15',) inch diameter sewer pipe
of wastewater service capacity within the Krum Line Project and shall have an exclusive right
to retain such capacity. This contractual right and interest in and to such capacity shall survive
the term of this Agreement unless otherwise lawfully terminated. Krum reserves the right to
sell, trade, transfer, or assign to any other entity all or a part of its fifteen (15") inch diameter
sewer capacity interest in the Krum Line Project, provided that such transfer meets all four (4)
of the following conditions:
Only wastewater, as defined in Denton's Sewer Use Ordinance, is delivered
to the Denton wastewater system; and
b. Wastewater can only be delivered at the point of entry described in
paragraph iii. 10. hereinabove; and
Quantity and rate of wastewater delivery shall not exceed those specified in
paragraph III. 2., above; and
Denton provides written approval for any such transfer or assignment of
Krum's ownership in the contractual rights and wastewater capacity rights
acquired pursuant to this Agreement. Denton agrees that it shall not
unreasonably withhold its approval of any such transfer or assignment, if the
proposed transfer or assignment does not violate the intent or spirit of this
Agreement.
14. This AgreemeN may be terminated by Krum at any time after the fifth
anniversary date of the execution of this Agreement by Krum paying and/or pre-paying the total
amount due and owing DeNon as determined by paragraphs III.7. and III.8. hereinabove, and as
set forth in Exhibit ii attached hereto. In the event of such termination, Krum's rights and
interests respecting the fifteen (15'3 inch diameter pipe wastewater capacity, as described in
paragraph iii. 13. hereinabove, shall survive and shall not be terminated.
15. In the even that Krum does not "begin construction" (hereafter defined as the date
that a Notice to Proceed document is executed and issued by a duly-authorized representative of
Krum with the prime contractor for the Krum Line Project) of the Project within twelve (12)
months from the date of execution of this Agreement by Krum and Denton, then Denton shall
have the option to terminate this AgreemeN, upon thirty (30) days written notice delivered to
Krum.
16. During the Krum Line Project design and construction phases, Krum and Denton
shall hold construction meetings at least once per month, and more often, as may be necessary
and appropriate, in order to coordinate their activities on the Project.
17. This AgreemeN embodies the entire agreemeN of the parties hereto and there are
no promises, terms, conditions, understandings, or obligations other than those contained or
incorporated herein. This AgreemeN shall supersede all previous communications,
representations or agreements, whether verbal or written, between the parties hereto with respect
to the subject matter of this AgreemeN.
18. This AgreemeN is subject to modification, waiver, amendment, addition, or
deletion, only by means of a written documeN duly executed by both of the Parties hereto.
19. This Agreement shall not be assigned by Denton without the express written
consent of Krum, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
20. Any and all suits for breach of this Agreement, or any other suit pertaining to or
arising out of this Agreement, shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Denton
County, Texas. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Texas.
21. The paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only
and shall in no way enlarge or limit the scope or meaning of the various and several paragraphs

THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS AND THE CITY OF KRUM, TEXAS; WHEREIN
DENTON AGREES TO PROVIDE WHOLESALE WASTEWATER TREATMENT
SERVICES TO KRUM; AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE
SAID CONTRACT; AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS THEREFOR;
AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND
The City of Krum has proposed to construct a sewer main to convey wastewater flows
from Krum to the City of Denton wastewater collection system. The proposed sewer line
from Krum will discharge into the Hickory Creek Interceptor sewer in the Denton
collection system (see Exhibit X-Map). Staff presented the initial proposal from the City
of Krum for wastewater service to the PUB on August 20, 2001, and to the City Council
on September 11, 2001. The PUB and the Council authorized staff to proceed on
negotiations with the City of Krum. On December 1, 2001, staff presented to PUB the
sewer main oversize concept and costs, where by Krum will construct a sewer line to
convey the wastewater flows from Krum to the Denton collection system, and Denton
will oversize this sewer line to accommodate flows from the northwest corridor within
the Denton CCN. PUB approved this concept negotiated with the City of Krum. This
oversize concept was presented to the Council on December 11, 2001 h the work session
where the Council approved the sewer main oversize concept.
With this authorization, staff has worked with the City of Krum to develop a Wholesale
Wastewater Treatment Services Contract (see Exhibit III). This contract provides the
mechanism through which Denton can provide wastewater treatment services to Krum as
a wholesale customer. The wholesale contract is similar to the contract executed with the
City of Argyle in the Year 2000.

2.1 Denton hereby grants to Krum, upon compliance with the terms and conditions contained
herein, permission to connect Krum Systems to the Denton System. The City of Krum shall
deliver and discharge wastewater into the Denton System; and, Denton shall transport, treat, and
dispose of the wastewater received from the City of Krum, in accordance with this Contract,
unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing. The City of Krum shall provide all lines, metering
station(s), lift stations, and associated facilities and shall acquire all property, interests, licenses,
and permits that are necessary to collect and transport Wastewater from the City of Krum to the
Denton System.
2.2 It shall be the sole responsibility of the City of Krum to convey and deliver the
Wastewater to the Point or Points of Entry approved by Denton and designated in Exhibit I.
Denton agrees to accept all Wastewater from Krum at the Point(s) of Entry as designated on
Exhibit I, attached hereto and incorporated herein; and at such additional Points of Entry as may
later be mutually agreed upon by the Director for Denton and the Krum Representative. A Point
of Entry may be changed, or additional Points of Entry added upon mutual agreement, signed by
an authorized representative of each Party. The City of Krum shall pay for Denton's reasonable
operational and administrative costs incurred due to any change in the location of a Point of
Entry, if the change was requested by the City of Krum, or necessitated by the City of Krum
discharge characteristics. Provided however, that if such change is necessitated by Krum's
discharge characteristics, Denton shall notify Krum of such need by providing written notice to
Krum at least sixty- (60) days prior to taking any action on such relocation. The notice shall
specify the total cost for which the City of Krum shall be responsible.
2.3 The cost of all Delivery Facilities necessary to convey Wastewater to the designated
Points of Entry, whether shown on Exhibit I, or mutually agreed upon at a later date, together
with the cost of connection of the City of Krum System to the Denton System including the
metering and sampling facilities, shall be borne by the City of Krum in accordance with the
Interlocal Cooperation Agreement for construction of the Krum Line.
2.4 Unless mutually agreed to in writing by Denton and Krum, Krum shall be responsible for
the design, contracting, construction and Financing of Delivery Facilities and acquisition of any
necessary rights-of-way and easements for such facilities. All designs, materials and
specifications for the Krum Line shall conform to Denton's requirements as a minimum
standard. Plans and specifications for Delivery Facilities, which connect to the Denton System,
shall be submitted to the Director for written approval, which shall be acted tpon within ten (10)
business days, and which approval of Director, shall not be unreasonably withheld. No
construction shall begin until such approval has been given. Approval by Denton shall not be
unreasonably withheld, if the plans and specifications satisfy or exceed Denton's minimum
standards. Krum agrees that Denton has the right to make periodic inspections during the
construction phase of the Delivery Facilities. Final acceptance of such facilities from the point
of connection up to and including the metering and sampling point is subject to the inspection
and written approval of the Director, or his designee.
2.5 To facilitate adequate five-year planning for the transportation and treatment of
wastewater, Denton will require that the following approval process be utilized when large
volume contributors are anticipated to be added to the system. Denton will require that a five-
year planning document revised annually that details projected increases in wastewater flow to
the Denton System be submitted to the Director for incorporation into the Denton planning
document. The City of Krum's planning document will be submitted annually by November 1.
The Fa'st such planning document shall be due on or before November 1, 2002, and a like
document is due to be submitted by Krum to the Director annually, on each November 1
thereafter. Krum agrees not to provide service to, or contract or subcontract with, any new single
retail customer (or any customer located outside the boundaries of the City of Krum whose need
for Wastewater service would exceed 25,000 gallons per day (GPD) additional treatment
requirements without the prior written approval by the City of Denton Director, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
2.6 Facilities within Denton CCN. Pipelines and other facilities constructed by or for
the City of Krum for the purposes of carrying out this Contract which are located within an area
for which Denton holds a certificate of public convenience and necessity to provide sewer utility
service, shall comply with standards and specifications approved by Denton. For such pipelines
and facilities, Denton may require that the improvements be oversized pursuant to a separate
participation agreement with the City of Krum. Denton shall have the fight to approve the
location of any such oversized facilities. Upon completion of an oversized line and payment by
Denton of its participating share, the City of Krum shall transfer to Denton the ownership of the
oversized line and associated easements and property interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Krum shall maintain ownership of its wastewater capacity in the Krum Line Wastewater Project,
as described in the "Interlocal Cooperation Agreement for the Construction, Installation, and
Oversize Cost Participation of the Krum Gravity Flow Wastewater Main" (hereafter the
Interlocal Cooperation Agreement) by and between the Cities of Denton and Krum, Texas.
2.7 Service Requirements. At such time in the future, should service requirements
become an issue, then Denton and Krum shall immediately discuss, and if resolution of the
problem is not susceptible to remediation, then to mediation on a good faith basis.
3.0 Maintenance of Denton and Customer Systems
3.1 Krum agrees to maintain its wastewater system(s) in good condition and to make repairs
in a timely manner and to require its customers to maintain and repair their respective systems.
Denton shall have the right to refuse to accept Wastewater for treatment if Krum's System(s) is
not being maintained to those generally accepted standards set forth in TNRCC rules and
regulations, Chapter 317. Denton shall not have any responsibility or liability now or ever for
the operation of the City of Krum's System(s), except as agreed to in writing by the parties
hereto.
3.2 Denton agrees to maintain its system in good condition and to make repairs in a timely
manner. Krum shall not have any responsibility or liability now or ever for the operation of the
Denton System, except as specifically provided herein, or under separate written modification or
Agreement.
4.0 Metering and Sampling Facilities
4.1 Beginning on the effective date of this Contract, Denton shall have the exclusive right to
operate and maintain Krum metering and sampling facilities at all existing and future Points of
Entry, and Denton shall become solely responsible for the operation and maintenance associated
with these facilities. Krum shall have access to the metering facilities for inspection purposes
only. Krum shall not adjust or calibrate the meter and will continuously provide a route of
ingress and egress to said metering and sampling facilities for Denton. Denton shall have the
discretion to construct improvements, expansions, and replacements to said facilities as a System
Cost, subject to review and approval by Krum of all proposed construction, expansion, and
replacement plans and costs. Approval by Krum shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld.
Krum will also grant and provide to Denton such permits or easements as are necessary for the
continuous operation and maintenance of all metering and sampling facilities. All such costs
incurred by Denton for operation, maintenance, construction, expansion, and replacement of
Krum metering and sampling facilities shall be considered System Costs. Such System Costs
shall be specifically identified by Denton as a component of the annual cost of providing
wholesale wastewater treatment service.
4.2 Unless otherwise agreed to by both parties in writing, Denton shall have the option to
construct Krum metering and sampling facilities not currently in existence. All construction
costs, including, but not limited to, site acquisition and preparation, design and engineering,
construction, and equipment for such facilities, together with the costs of necessary easements
and rights-of-way, shall be System Costs, and shall be subject to review and approval by Krum,
including all necessary modifications to accommodate a complete installation satisfactory to
Denton. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Krum constructs new
metering and sampling facilities, Krum may either transfer ownership of such newly constructed
l0
facilities, together with all necessary access easements and rights-of-way, to Denton in a form
satisfactory to Denton or may grant Denton the right of ingress and egress to such facilities,
together with the authority to operate and maintain the facilities as specified in Section 4.1,
within sixty (60) days of such completion. Thereafter, Denton shall operate, maintain and
replace the facilities as a System Cost and treat any ownership transfer as a contribution for rate
purposes, but the same shall not be indicative of equity ownership.
4.3 Expenses incurred by Denton for the operation and maintenance of Krum metering and
sampling facilities shall be System Costs and shall include the following:
A. Cost of electricity at the facility.
B. Cost of the installation of the telemetry service at the facility and to the control center
and cost of monthly lease charge for the telephone line.
C. Cost of meter calibration; including cost of insert meter, twice per year.
D. Cost of parts, materials and supplies required for repairs, calibrations and upgrading
of the facilities.
E. Normal labor cost plus fringe benefits and indirect costs for repairs, calibrations and
upgrading of the facilities.
F. Maintenance of ingress and egress and meter facility site.
G. Meter reading costs.
H. Any other reasonable and customary operations and maintenance costs or charges
appropriately included in system costs applicable to wholesale wastewater customers.
4.4 Replacement of Metering and Sampling Facilities or components thereof as may be
occasioned by obsolescence due to age, excessive maintenance, growth or other reasons as
determined by the Director, shall be a System Cost.
4.5 The City of Krum shall construct, install, and maintain for each Point of Entry a control
manhole to allow Denton to monitor Wastewater received from Krum. Control manholes shall
be located and constructed in accordance with specifications approved by Denton, to allow
Denton to have unrestricted access at all reasonable times. Upon completion, the control
manholes shall become the property of Denton and shall be maintained and repaired by Denton,
at Denton's sole cost and expense.
4.6 Upon expiration or termination of this Contract, Denton shall transfer to Krum the
ownership of any property easements, metering and sampling facilities and rights-of-way
conveyed to Denton pursuant to the terms of this Section. In the event the contract is transferred
to another entity and Denton continues to treat wastewater from the City of Krum, ownership of
the aforementioned items shall remain with Denton.
5.0 Rights-of-Way
Krum shall grant, without charge to Denton, such easements and the use of rights-of-way along
public highways or other property owned by Krum, as requested by Denton; or maintaining
mains or facilities within the boundaries of the City of Krum or of any present or future Krum
wastewater certificate of convenience and necessity ('CCN") to convey Wastewater delivered to
the Points of Entry. The parties hereto (and applicable Customers of he City of Krum) will be
required to restore the other's property to a condition equal to its original condition, unless
otherwise mutually agreed in writing. Denton and Krum agree to coordinate their location of the
mains and/or facilities in the other's easements and rights-of-way in order to prevent future
conflicts insofar as reasonably practicable.
6.0 Metering and Sampling
6.1 All flow discharged into the Denton System by Krum shall be metered, unless
specifically agreed to by both parties in writing. Should both parties agree in writing that
metering is not possible, the agreed-upon method for determining the volume shall include an
adjustment for infiltration and inflow.
6.2 If, in the judgment of the Director, the sewage generated within one or more areas of the
City of Krum or of any present or future Krum wastewater CCN cannot be accurately measured
by an approved type of metering station, then the charge for sanitary sewer service within that
drainage area will be made on a per-connection Nsis. In such cases, the volume of sewage for
billing purposes will be determined by adding the product derived from multiplying the number
of Domestic Accounts within the area, times the average gallons of Wastewater flow per
12
Domestic Account within the metered area, plus the estimated Wastewater flow for Non-
Domestic Accounts based on an agreed-upon percentage of metered water consumption. The
total volume so derived each month will be used for calculating the total sewer charges due each
month for that drainage area and such charges will be added to other charges, if any, based on
metered connections. For all such non-metered areas, Krum will be responsible for providing
data each month on the number of Domestic Accounts and the metered water volume of all Non-
Domestic Accounts. Krum will provide this data to Denton no later than the 5th day of each
calendar month. Alternatively, the Director and Krum Representative may agree in writing to a
non-metered system for such areas, based on water usage for the area during the three winter
months of December, January, and February.
6.3 Krum shall have access to the metering and sampling facilities at all reasonable times;
provided however, that any reading, calibration, or adjustment to such metering equipment shall
be done by employees or agents of Denton, or by other mutually approved third party Calibration
Agent, in the presence of representatives of Krum and Denton, if so requested by Krum.
Notification of any proposed tests shall be provided to the City of Krum at least seventy-two (72)
hours prior to such test being conducted.
6.4 All readings of meters will be entered in ink upon bound journals maintained by Denton.
Krum shall have access to such records during reasonable business hours and shall be furnished
with monthly "totalizer" readings for each Point of Entry metering and sampling facility.
6.5 Denton shall calibrate and routinely service the meters at least once during each six- (6)
month period. Copies of the results of such Calibration and all related information shall be
promptly provided to Krum. Denton shall notify the City of Krum at least seventy-two (72)
hours in advance of the date and time for any Calibration, and Krum may observe if so desired.
6.6 Upon any Calibration, if it is determined that the accuracy envelope of such meter is
found to be lower than ninety-five percent (95%), or higher than one hundred five percent
(105%) expressed as a percentage of the full scale of the meter, the registration of the flow (and
billings related thereto) as determined by such defective meter shall be corrected for a period
extending back to the time such inaccuracy began. If such time is ascertainable; or, if such time
13
is not ascertainable, then for a period extending back one-half (1/2) of the ime elapsed since the
date of the last calibration, but in no event further back than a period of six (6) months.
6.7 If additional meter calibrations are requested by the City of Krum over the normal
calibration frequency, then the following payment procedure will be used. Corrections to meter
Calibrations that are inside the plus or minus 5% range will be paid for by the City of Krum and
will be added to the City of Krum's next monthly bill for receipt of payment. Corrections
outside the plus or minus 5% range will be paid to Krum by Denton during the month following
such determinatior[
6.8 If any meter used to determine volume from the City of Krum is out of service or out of
repair so that the amount of Wastewater delivered through the period cannot be ascertained or
computed, within five percent (5%) accuracy, Wastewater volume shall be estimated and agreed
upon by the parties hereto upon the basis of the best data available. If a meter is determined to
be reading inaccurately by more than five percent (5%), a correction to the billing shall be made
as follows:
(a) Take the number of gallons measured by the meter for a period extending
back ~Sfthe time elapsed since the date of the last calibration of the meter;
(b) Multiply that amount by the percentage of inaccuracy to obtain the total
number of gallons not properly registered;
(¢) Multiply the gallons by the applicable rate during the time of the inaccuracy to
get the amount to be debited or credited, as appropriate.
If a meter completely fails, a correction shall be made by using the average of the gallons of
wastewater billed for the prior three months, or some other mutually agreeable method, to obtain
a daily average, which shall be applied to the days for which the meter was not working. In the
event that the parties hereto cannot agree on the estimate of Wastewater volume delivered,
agreement on the flow volume will be determined by a committee composed of the Director (or
his designee) the City of Krum Representative (or his designee) and a third person to be mutually
agreed upon and the cost of the reconciliation process will be equally shared. Any adjustments
in billing provided in this Section, whether a credit or debit, may be satisfied immediately, or
may be made in equal installments over the time equal to the time for which the failure or
inaccuracy was calculated.
14
6.9 Denton shall obtain samples three (3) times per year to determine the quality of the
wastewater for billing for the extra strength of the wastewater. Each set of samples will apply to
a four-month period for billing purposes. These samples shall be obtained at the designated
metering and sampling facilities or other mutually agreed-upon sampling points for the purposes
of billing for the strength of the wastewater. To determine the quality of the wastewater for each
of the three (3) sampling periods, Denton shall collect twenty-four (24) hour flow-weighted
composite samples for five (5) consecutive days. In case of a malfunction of the sampling
equipment for whatever reason for one or more days, additional days shall be added to obtain
five (5) samples. The five (5) samples will be averaged to determine the wastewater strength for
billing purposes. Unless the BOD or TSS exceeds 250 mg/1, no fee for extra strength shall be
applicable or charged. Denton will provide Krum with a minimum of seven (7) day advance
notification of intent to sample. If, at the request of Krum or at the request of the Director, more
extensive monitoring is desired, such additional monitoring shall be paid for by the party making
the request and shall be done in compliance with Section 7.5. If Krum requests such additional
monitoring, Denton shall invoice Krum for the operational and administrative costs and payment
shall be made within (30) thirty days after receipt of invoice.
The notification required in this section shall include the planned dates, times, and locations(s) of
sampling. Denton shall analyze the samples collected in accordance with Standard Methods.
Krum may be present during the initial set-up of sampling equipment and at the time of pick up
for each twenty-four (24) hour composite sample. Denton agrees, if requested, to split said
wastewater samples with Krum for independent analyses.
6.10 If, in the opinion of the Director, compliance monitoring is required, the Director may
order that additional monitoring be performed with or without prior notice to Krum. Said
compliance monitoring is to be in addition to the periodic sampling set forth in Section 6.9. All
information obtained because of such compliance monitoring shall be provided to the City of
Krum. Denton will provide notice of the results of such compliance monitoring to Krum within
a reasonable time thereafter. Denton shall pay all costs for additional monitoring ordered at the
Director's discretion, pursuant to this paragraph.
6.11 Costs incurred by Denton under this Section 6 will be considered a System Cost.
7.0 Rates and Charges
7.1 Wholesale wastewater rates will be based upon generally accepted cost-of-service rate
methodologies developed by independent utility rate consultants as described herein. The
Director shall select the independent utility rate consultant. The cost of such studies will be a
Direct System Cost. All cost-of-service studies shall be conducted utilizing the utility cost basis
of determining revenue requirements applicable to the wholesale Wastewater class. The last rate
study was completed during 1999 by an independent consultant. Rate studies by an independent
utility rate consultant will be conducted a least every six (6) years. Internal rate reviews will be
conducted annually, based upon consultant rate study methodology, to review rates and charges,
to recover allocated costs. The City of Krum shall have access to all data used to calculate the
proposed rate to be charged, and the City of Krum will be provided at least sixty (60) -days
advance notice with opportunity to review and comment on any proposed rate changes.
7.2 The cost-of-service for the wholesale class shall include allocated reasonable and
necessary operation and maintenance expense, depreciation expenses, administrative expenses, a
fair and reasonable return on allocated capital facilities, and a street rental fee. To determine the
allocation, including inflow and infiltration of costs to the City of Krum, the following factors
shall be considered: total volume, rate of flow, wastewater quality, metering, and Krum-related
costs (such as accounting, billing, monitoring, and Krum service).
"Capital-related costs" consists of depreciation expenses and return on the original cost rate base.
"Depreciation expense" will be based upon the original cost of all capital facilities, both invested
and contributed capital, which facilities are expected to be replaced by Denton at a future date in
order to maintain service. Costs to transport the wastewater will be based on interceptor lines
twelve inches (12'3 in diameter and greater. A street rental fee equal to four percent (4%) of
total wastewater operation and maintenance costs will also be charged by Denton. On a periodic
basis as determined by the Director, the depreciation rates on all General Benefit Capital
Facilities shall be studied, and new salvage values, useful lives, and annual rates of depreciation
shall be developed from such studies. The "net-book" rate base shall consist of all allocated
capital facilities (net of accumulated depreciation and less contributions to the Demon System),
and shall include construction work in progress, a reasonable allowance for working capital, and
a reasonable inventory of materials and supplies necessary for the efficient operation of the
Denton System. Working capital shall be based on one-eighth (forty-five days) of annual
wastewater operation and maintenance costs. Records of the original cost, the accumulated
depreciation on all capital facilities, and contributions to the Denton System shall be maintained
in the Denton fuxed asset-tracking system. These records shall be available for inspection at the
Denton Utilities Financial Depamnent during reasonable business hours upon request by Krum.
7.3 Denton shall be allowed an adequate opportunity to earn a reasonable return on its
investment. The rate of return shall be sufficient to assure confidence in the financial soundness
of the utility, adequate to maimain and support its credit, enable it to raise the money necessary
for the proper discharge of its public duties, and shall be equal to the weighted average imbedded
rate of interest on all outstanding wastewater system revenue bonds plus one-and-one-haft
percem (1.5%).
7.4 No more than every six (6) years, a detailed wholesale revenue requirement shall be
developed on an actual historical cost, test-year basis, allowing for reasonable and necessary
expenses of providing such wastewater service, and allowing for known and measurable changes
in costs. Such changes shall allow the spreading of non-recurring expenses over an appropriate
benefit period. The first test year occurred October 1, 1997, through September 30, 1998. On a
not to exceed six (6) year cycle thereafter, a complete, detailed rate study will be performed with
the same methodology used in the previous rate study by an independem utility rate consultant.
Thereafter, changes in the methodology will be allowed if recommended by the independem
consultant. In the interim between complete detailed rate studies, wholesale wastewater rates
shall be adjusted by Demon using the same methodology adopted at the same time, of the last
complete detailed rate study utilizing the actual operating data for the twelve month period
ending September 30th of the prior year, adjusted for known and measurable changes in cost data
which may have occurred since the last audited statement.
7.5 The initial rates for this Contract shall be those adopted by the Denton City Council in
Ordinance No. 2001-335, enacted September 4, 2001, and effective October 1,2001, as follows:
Volume Charge
$2.00 per 1,000 gallons
BOD Strength Charges
TSS Strength Charges
Facility Charges
Sampling Charge
Analysis Charge
$0.004228 mg/1 of BOD above 250 mg/1
$0.002317 mg/1 of TSS above 250 mg/1
$180.00/30 days
$35.00
$15.00
7.6 Amendment of Rate
The rate charged the City of Krum shall increase or decrease in accordance with any amendment
to the Rate Schedule applicable to the City of Krum, as approved by Ordinance of the City
Council of Denton, and normal and reasonable in cost of service. At least sixty- (60) days prior
to the effective date of any proposed amendment of the rate charged to Krum, Denton shall send
written notice of the proposed rate amendment to the City of Krum. If Denton fails to give
written notice at least sixty- (60) days prior to the effective date of the amended rate, the
amended rate shall become effective, as it applies to the City of Krum, on the sixty-first (61st)
day after the written notice is sent.
7.7 Denton shall render bills for Wastewater treatment and disposal service to Krum
monthly. The billing address, until further written notice is delivered to Denton, is the current
location of the Krum, Texas City Hall: City of Krum, Texas, 102 West McCart, P.O. Box 217,
Krum, Texas 76249. All such bills shall be due and payable by Krum not more than thirty- (30)
days from the billing date. The bills will show current charges, as well as past-due charges.
Current charges shall be the amount due for Wastewater collection, treatment and disposal
service provided since the prior billing period. Past-due charges shall be the total amount unpaid
from all prior billings as of the current billing date. Payments received shall First be applied to
the past due charges, if any, and thereafter to the current charges. For late payments, a finance
charge of ten percent (10%) per annum may be calculated from the date when the payment was
due until paid.
7.8 If Krum disputes a bill and is unable to resolve the difference informally, Krum shall
notify the Director in writing. Dispute of a bill is not grounds for nonpayment. If Krum at any
time disputes the amount to be paid to Denton, Krum should nonetheless promptly make such
payment; but, if it is subsequently determined by agreement or court decision that such disputed
payment should have been less, or more, Denton shall promptly correct the charges. All such
amounts due and owing to Denton by Krum, or due and owing to Krum by Denton, shall be paid
plus ten (10%) percent per annum from the date when due until paid.
7.9 The parties agree that services obtained pursuant to this Contract are essential and
necessary to the operation of Krum's wastewater facilities, and that all payments made by Krum
shall constitute reasonable and necessary operating expenses of wastewater systems within the
meaning of Article 1113, Vernon's Annotated Texas Statutes, with the effect that the obligation
to make such payments shall have priority over any obligation to make any payments from such
revenue, with respect to all bonds or other debt obligations heretofore or hereafter issued by
Krum.
7.10 Krum agrees, throughout the term of this Contract, to fN and collect such rates and
charges for wastewater service in its system as will produce revenues in an amount equal to at
least:
(i) All the operation and maintenance expenses of such system, including specifically, its
payments under this Contract.
(ii) All other amounts as required by law and the provisions of the ordinances or
resolutions authorizing its revenue bonds or other obligations now or hereafter
outstanding, including the amounts required to pay all principal of, and interest on
such bonds and other obligations.
8.0 Krum Concems and Disputes
8.1 Krum shall notify the Director regarding any concern or dispute related to the wholesale
Customer volumes billed and/or wholesale rates charged. Denton shall provide explanations
and/or documentation which outlines the processes used by Denton in order for Krum to fully
understand how the monthly volumes and billings were determined and/or wholesale rates were
calculated.
8.2 If Krum disputes the monthly billing and/or rates, Krum must continue to make prompt
monthly payments as required by this Contract. if, after a thorough review, Krum's concern or
dispute is determined to have merit and justification, the area of concern or dispute shall be
promptly adjusted and corrected. Unless otherwise specified in this Contract, the determination
or settlement in areas of dispute, will generally be judged in accordance with standard practices
used in the wastewater treatment and collection industry, while considering fairness to both
parties.
9.0 Industrial Connection and Monitoring
9.1 Krum agrees that it will not permit any Significant Industrial User within its jurisdiction
to connect directly or indirectly, either to its system, without at least thirty- (30) days prior
written notification to the Director of such intent to connect. Krum shall provide the Director
with such information pertaining to volume and composition of expected flow as may be
requested. After a review of the submitted data, the Director has the right to refuse the permit
only if such SiU would cause Wastewater discharged by the City of Krum at the Point of Entry
to be in violation of this Contract.
9.2 Krum agrees to conduct any and all monitoring, sampling and inspection of Krum System
and industrial Users as necessary to insure that industrial waste introduced into the Ctty of Krum
System meets the quality standards set out in Section 10.2 hereof. Upon request to Krum, a
representative of Denton will be permitted to observe Krum's collection of samples from
industrial Users, and Krum agrees to fumish Denton separate duplicate samples for independent
testing; and, upon request, to provide the Director sample analysis results and Pretreatment
records.
9.3 Krum agrees that Denton shall have the right to sample wastewater at all Points of Entry
and at such other locations as may be mutually agreed to in writing by both parties, for the
purpose of determining the volume and quality of wastewater entering the Denton System.
Krum agrees to disconnect from its system any industrial User found to be in violation of
allowable discharges or who refuses access to its facilities for the purpose of sampling
wastewater being discharged into the City of Krum System; provided, however, that said
disconnected industrial User shall be afforded the same rights and privileges of appeal as
industrial Users operating within Denton's jurisdiction. Provided, however, Denton may not
20
require such Industrial User to disconnect from Krum's System, if the quality of the wastewater
delivered to the Point of Entry is in compliance with this Contract.
9.4 Following reasonable notice to the City of Krum by Denton, Denton may enter Krum's
jurisdiction if Denton determines that questionable discharges or prohibited discharges are
entering the Denton System through the Point of Entry. Krum agrees to assist Denton and to
coordinate with its Customers in locating and eliminating such prohibited discharges within the
Krum System.
9.5 The Director shall send written notice to the City of Krum if it is determined that a
Customer is failing to provide a satisfactory pre-treatment program, or a discharge by the City of
Krum is in violation of the sue or this Contract. The notice shall contain the following:
(a) the nature and description ofthe violation;
(b) the provision of the sue or of this Contract being violated;
(c) the corrective action that must be taken; and
(d) the time in which the corrective action must be taken.
Denton and Krum shall cooperate to determine the source of any wastewater discharge violation
and agree to cooperate in remedying the violation; but, Krum shall be responsible for insuring
that the violation is properly and timely corrected. Krum's failure to take reasonable efforts to
have the violation corrected in the time specified shall be a breach of this Contract for which
Denton may terminate service to the particular Customer wherein the offending violation is
taking place.
10.0 Wastewater Quali.ty
10.1 Krum agrees that it shall enact operating policies and enforce an ordinance goveming
industrial waste that are at least as stringent as the provisions of the current Denton Sewer Use
Ordinance No 93-112 (sue).
10.2 The parties recognize that federal and state laws and regulations concerning Wastewater
treatment and discharges may periodically change during the term of this Contract, requiting
revisions in the sue. It is the intent of this Contract that the sue be reviewed periodically by
21
Denton and revised in accordance with the latest laws and regulations of federal and state
agencies having jurisdiction over wastewater treatment and discharges. Krum agrees, upon
reasonable notice, to enact and enforce ordinances or any amendments to the sue, or any future
ordinances relating to industrial discharges, prohibited or controlled wastes, or Pretreatmem
Requirements.
10.3 Denton shall give written notice to Krum at least ninety- (90) days prior to consideration
by the Denton City Council of any amendment of the sue that amends a provision of the sue
that applies to this Contract, or that adds a new provision to the sue that Denton is required to
apply to wastewater received by Denton under this Contract.
10.4 Krum shall be responsible for giving notice of the proposed amendmem to any of its
Customers affected by the amendment. Upon the effective date of the amendment to the sue, it
shall be considered an amendmem to this Contract and shall be attached hereto, showing the

soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of the Denton ordinance or amendmem,
provided that Krum is properly notified of the ordinance or amendmem required herein.
10.5 Krum agrees that the quality of the wastewater discharged into the Denton System shall
be equal to or better than the quality standards established by DeNon Ordinance No. 93-112, or
to any amendment thereto adopted pursuant to Section 10.1.
10.6 Krum shall require all Significant Industrial Users within its jurisdiction that ultimately
discharge into the Denton System to apply for and obtain a permit from Krum allowing such
discharge. Such permit shall require Industrial Users to abate prohibited substances from their
discharge as a condition to discharging wastewater into the Krum System. The permit
application shall contain, as a minimum, the following:
1. Name and address of discharger
2. Agent for discharger
3. Type of industry
4. Products produced or services rendered
5. Chemicals being stored and/or used
22
6. Anticipated daily wastewater flow rates
Krum shall provide Denton a copy of such application and permit, if issued, within fourteen (14)
days after issuance.
11.0 Title to and Liability for Damages and Responsibility for Treatment and Disposal of

epidemic, war, riot, civil disturbance or disobedience, labor dispute, and action or non-action by
a failure to obtain the necessary authorizations and approvals from any governmental agency or
authority or the electorate, labor or material shortage, sabotage, or restraint by a court order or

reasonably been expected to avoid and which by exercise of due diligence it shall be unable to
27
overcome. Either party rendered unable to fulfill any such obligation shall exercise due
diligence to remove such inability with all reasonable dispatch.
In the event the proper operation of the Denton System, as a result of the above, requires Denton
to temporarily interrupt all or part of the services to Krum, no claims for damage shall be made
by Krum against Denton. Denton will exercise its best efforts to insure that such interruptions
will not adversely affect the health and welfare of Krum's residents, in the event the proper
operation of Krum System, as a result of the above, requires Krum to temporarily interrupt,

23.0 Wastewater Impact Fees
The Denton City Council has adopted "Impact Fees" by amending Chapter 26 "Utilities" of the
Code of Ordinances, Ordinance No. 98-301, providing for the Assessment of Such "impact
Fees."
23.1
When Denton wastewater service to Krum initially begins, Krum agrees to pay to Denton
a Wastewater System impact Fee based on the calculated number of Single Family
Equivalents ("SFE's") initially served by Denton. The calculation of SFE's shall be
based on the Krum average daily wastewater flow, as mutually agreed upon by each
party, divided by 320 gallons. The number of calculated SFE's shall be multiplied by the
Denton wastewater impact fee to determine the total amount of impact fees due Denton.
This impact fee methodology shall apply to all Krum wastewater customers/connections
in existence at the time Denton wastewater service to Krum initially begins. If, at a date
after Denton wastewater service to Krum initially begins, Krum desires that Denton serve
additional customers/connections that were in existence at the time service initially
began, the impact fee shall be based on the mutually agreed upon average daily
wastewater flow divided by 320 gallons times the impact fee in existence at the time
service begins to these customers/connections. Nothing within this Contract shall be
deemed to prevent either Denton or Krum from charging their own respective retail
Customers an impact fee in excess of the Wastewater System Impact Fee provided for
herein.
28
23.2 On a quarterly basis, Krum agrees to pay to Denton a Wastewater System Impact Fee for
each new or enlarged connection for Wastewater service made within Krum's service area
served by the General Benefit Capital Facilities of the Denton System. Krum agrees to place
quarterly impact fees received in an interest-beating account and remit to Denton on a quarterly
basis the impact fees plus interest earned. The Wastewater System impact Fee to the City of
Krum for each such connection shall be based upon the size of water meter and shall be equal to
the Wastewater System Impact Fee collected for the same size water meter made within the retail
service area of Denton, except as provided in Subparagraph 23.6 of this Section. Water meters
installed solely for irrigation purposes shall not be assessed a Wastewater System impact Fee.
The calculation of the Wastewater System Impact Fee shall be consistent with all applicable state
and federal regulations, including Chapter 395, Texas Local Government Code, or any
amendment or successor statute, it shall include only those costs associated with wastewater
system capital expansions and capital improvements identified by Ordinance No. 98-301 or
amendments of said Ordinance, necessary to provide service to new growth and development,
and/or expanded growth and development of existing Customers. Nothing within this Contract
shall be deemed to prevent either Denton or Krum from charging their own respective retail
Customers an impact fee in excess of the Wastewater System Impact Fee provided for herein.
23.3 Denton agrees that all monies for Impact Fees remitted to it pursuant to this section will
be placed in a separate interest-beating account to pay only for the cost of constructing capital
improvements or facility expansions for the wastewater system as permitted by Chapter 395,
Texas Local Government Code, or any amendment thereto, or by any successor statute thereto,
and will not be used for operation and maintenance expenses. Once expended on capital
projects, such funds and all interest earned thereon will be considered a "contribution" for rate
setting purposes and shall not be included in the rate base for wholesale service or return on
investment calculation purposes. Depreciation expense will be based on the original cost of all
capital facilities both invested and contributed capital, which facilities are expected to be
replaced by Denton at a future date in order to maintain service.
29
23.4 Krum shall provide to Denton such information that relates to the making of new and/or
upsized connections within its jurisdiction as may be requested by the Director, including but not
limited to building permits, with each quarterly payment required in this Section.
23.5 Should Denton or Krum waive any impact fee due from a retail Customer for a new or
upsized connection to its respective system within its jurisdiction, Denton or Krum shall pay
such impact fee from other sources into the fund required for paying for the capital
improvements.
23.6 Denton agrees that only those capital improvements related to the wastewater system
identified in Ordinance No. 98-301 or amendments of said ordinance, shall be included in the
capital improvements plan for the purpose of determining Wastewater System Impact Fee;
provided, however, Denton may include other capital improvements for the purpose of
determining impact fees to its own retail Customers.
23.7 Prior to the adoption of any land use assumptions, capital improvements, or Impact Fees,
the City of Krum shall be furnished a copy of the proposed land use assumptions, capital
improvement plan or proposed impact Fee at least thirty- (30) days prior to any scheduled
hearing thereon. Any revised impact Fee adopted pursuant to such updated capital
improvements plan shall not take effect for a period of at least ninety- (90) days after adoption
by Denton.
24.0 Termination
24.1 This Contract is not intended to specify an exclusive remedy for any default, but all such
other remedies (other than termination) existing at law or in equity may be availed of by either
party and shall be cumulative. Recognizing, however, that the failure of either party to perform
cannot be adequately compensated in money damages alone, both parties agree that in the event
of any default on its part, the other shall have available to it the equitable remedy of mandamus
and specific performance, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies (other than
termination) which may be available. The remedy of termination for default precluded by this
30
paragraph does not prohibit either Party from terminating this Agreement for default in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or as otherwise specifically provided herein.
24.2 Also this Contract may be terminated in whole or in part by the mutual consent of the
governing bodies of the City of Krum and the City of Denton. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, any material breach, as defined herein, by either party hereto
shall be cause for termination of this Contract by the other Party in the manner set forth in this
Section.
24.3 For failure to pay for undisputed costs for services rendered in accordance with this
Contract, Denton may terminate this Contract sixty -(60) days following the date notice of
nonpayment is received by the City of Krum, unless full payment is made by the City of Krum
within that time.
24.4 Denton shall deliver to Krum ninety- (90) days prior written notice of its intention to so
terminate this Contract if Krum fails to cure or adjust any breach other than non-payment
provided in Section 24.3 above, such breach, including in such notice a reasonably complete
description of the breach. In the event Krum does not agree that it is in such breach, default or
failure, Krum may respond in writing for Denton's further review; or, in the altemative Krum
may respond with a plan of action for Denton's approval, which approval will not be
unreasonably denied. Denton shall advise the City of Krum in writing immediately upon
acceptance of the cure of any such breach. If within said ninety- (90) days Krum shall fail or
refuse to cure such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of Denton, then and in such event,
Denton shall have the right with six (6) months advance written additional notice to Krum, to
declare this Contract terminated. In the event of termination of this Contract, all rights, powers,
and privileges of Krum hereunder shall cease and terminate. The following breaches, defaults or
failure to perform a duty or obligation of any of the below subsections, shall be considered a
material breach of this Contract:
Failure to adopt and enforce any ordinance required to be adopted and enforced
herein, if Krum has received notice as required in Section 10 of this Agreement;
31
f.
g.
h.

not addressed by Sections 24.3 and 24.4 above, and in the event that Krum does not agree that it
is in such alleged breach, default or failure, Krum may respond in writing for Denton's further
review; or in the alternative Krum may respond with a plan of action for Denton's approval,
which approval will not be unreasonably denied. Krum may timely appeal Denton's
determination of breach or Denton's failure to approve its plan cure the alleged breach to the
Utility Account Review Committee of the City of Denton, Texas, as provided for in the Denton
Code of Ordinances, Chapter 26, as amended. Pending the outcome of Krum's appeal, the
charges shall not be due and payable by Krum.
24.6 Any failure by Denton to terminate this Contract or the acceptance by Denton of any
benefits under this Contract for any period of time after such material breach, default, or failure
by Krum, shall not be determined to be a waiver by Denton of any rights to terminate this
Contract for any subsequent material breach, default, or failure.
24.7 Any failure by Krum to so terminate this Contract, or the acceptance by Krum of any
benefits under this Contract, for any period of time after ~tch material breach, default, or failure

sponsored and funded by the United States Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition
Service. This Summer Food Service Program is a cominuation of the free lunch program that is
offered during the school year. The Texas Departmem of Human Services has made an effort
through outreach to increase the number of cities participating in the program.
Cold sack lunches will be prepared by the DeNon Independem School District and served at the
following locations: 1) MLK Recreation Cemer, 2) Phoenix Park, 3) Denia Park, 4) Civic Cemer

number of lunches served throughout the summer was 14,748. In 1994 the Village East
Apartmems were idemified as a low-income area and became a Summer Food Program Site.
Through the summer 15,094 lunches were served at the nine sites. In 1995, the nine summer
food sites served 15,585 lunches at a cost of $32,712. A slight decrease occurred in 1996 because

food sites served 13,511 lunches at a cost of $30,111. In 1997 the Boys and Girls Club requested
to be part of the summer food program. The addition of tenth summer food site increased the
number served to 17,609 lunches at a cost of $38,342. In 1998 the ten summer food sites served

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
AGENDA DATE: April 2, 2002
DEPARTMENT: Legal Department
CM/DCM/ACM: Herb Prouty, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Hold a public hearing and consider and adopt an ordinance setting a gas utility
services rate for electric generation trmsportation service customers within the City of Denton,
Texas; making findings in accordance with the setting of this rate; providing for the recovery of
rate case expenses and the payment of rate consultants; providing for rehearing and reservation
of rights; providing a severability clause; and providing an effective date.
BACKGROUND: On July 17, 2001 the City Council passed Ordinance No. 2001-251, which
adopted gas utility service rates for commercial and residential customers within the City of
Denton, but declined to set industrial rates. Instead, you found the rates under the then current
contracts between industrial customers and TXU Gas Distribution to be just and reasonable. On
December 13, 2001 Spencer Station Generating Company, L.P. ("Spenc~") filed a complaint
docketed as Complaint 2001-1 with the City Council alleging that the rates proposed by TXU
Gas Distribution and TXU Lone Star Pipeline (hereinafter "TXU Gas") for the Spencer
Generating Station were unreasonable, unjust, and discriminatory and asked the City Council to
order interim relief.
On December 18, 2001 you held a public hearing on Complaint 2001-1. After hearing
testimony, including testimony from our rate consultant, Diversified Utility Consultants, Inc.
("DUCt"), Spencer, and TXU, you approved an interim order under Ordinance No. 2001-482
requiring TXU Gas to continue to provide service to Spencer under the rates contained in the
then-existing contract between TXU Gas and Spencer that expired on December 31, 2001. The
order was contingent upon Spencer and TXU Gas agreeing on a rate and would dissolve upon the
City being notified of such an agreement, tn the meantime, you began an investigation into the
reasonableness of the electric generating transportation service rateswithin the City of Denton to
determine what would be a fair, just, and reasonable rate. To assist you in this matter, you
authorized the City Manager to hire DUCt and the Law Offices of Jim Boyle.
In late December 2001 and early January 2002, Spencer fled a similar complaint with the
Railroad Commission, which it has since withdrawn, and filed a lawsuit styled Spencer
Generating Company, L.P.v. TXU Gas Company, et al. in the 211th District Court to enjoin TXU
Gas from charging it a rate different thanthe rate set forth in the contract between the two parties
that expired December 31, 2001. The City intervened in that suit. Meanwhile, TXU Gas
appealed the rate ordinance to the Railroad Commission. Judge Shipman read into the record an
order which, in part, required the City to complete its investigation of the rates in this matter in
an expeditious manner. The Court has entered the order. The State Office of Administrative
Hearings (SOAH) has scheduled a mediation on TXU's appeal for April 17, 2002 Finally TXU
Gas on March 1, 2002, filed a Notice of Intent to Change Rates that would, if granted,
significantly increase gas rates for all customer classes in Denton including Spencer. At your
March 26, 2002 meeting you passed a Resolution suspending the rates for 90 days from the
proposed effective date and allowing Spencer to intervene in that rate proceeding.
S:\Our DocmmentshMiscellaneous\02\agenda infbrmarion sheer rare ordinance2.doc
DUCt requested documents from both parties and also asked the parties to respond to requests
for information. Spencer did so but TXU Gas dedined, taking the position that the City has no
jurisdiction over this matter since the validity of Ordinance No. 2001-482 was on appeal to the
Railroad Commission. We had originally scheduled this matter for your March 5, 2002 regular
meeting. But we postponed the meeting to your April 2, 2002 meeting at the request of TXU
Gas to give them adequate time to prepare for your hearing.
DUCI FINDINGS AND ORDINANCE: Attached to this Agenda Information Sheet is the
report of DUCt dated February 22, 2002, which makes certain findings, conclusions, and
recommendations. Copies of this report have been sent to representatives of TXU Gas and
Spencer by the City Manager. They have also been advised of your intent to hold a public
hearing and take evidence on this matter and to make a finding concerning the rate. A copy of
Mike Conduff's February 25th letter advising TXU Gas and Spencer of the public hearing is also
attached. Under the findings, conclusions, and recommendations section of the report, DUCt
makes 11 findings, which support a gas utility services rate for electric generation transportation
customers of 2 cents per MCF. tf, after hearing the evidence at the public hearing, you believe
that this is a fair, just, and reasonable rate for all electric gmeration transportation customers,
including Spencer, you should pass an ordinance setting the rate. It is anticipated that TXU Gas
will probably appeal such a finding to the Railroad Commission. Dan Lawton, of DUCt, will be
available at the public hearing to provide evidence concerning the rate and to answer questions.
OPTIONS:
2.
3.
4.
Pass the ordinance as recommended setting the 2 cents per MCF rate.
Decline to pass the ordinance.
Pass the ordinance setting a different rate.
Schedule additional public hearings and take additional evidence before setting a rate.
RECOMMENDATION: Unless evidence presented at the public hearing by TXU Gas or
Spencer is sufficient to overcome the findings of DUCt, we would recommend option 1, that you
pass the ordinance setting the gas utility services rate for electric generation customers of 2 cents
per MCF. Since TXU Gas has appealed the matter to the Railroad Commission, unless TXU Gas
changes its position that you have no jurisdiction to make a determination of the rates, it is
doubtful if delaying the matter further---TXU has already been granted a rescheduling of this
hearing--will result in any more evidence or documents from TXU Gas. DUCt would probably
not have additional documents to examine in aid of yotr investigation into a just and reasonable
rate for electric generating transportation service customers, such as Spencer. You are also under
some time constraints as a result of the Court's order to make an expeditious finding with regard
to the rate. This ordinance is a final order, unlike the interim order you made in Ordinance No.
2001-482. The Railroad Commission would probably have appellate jurisdiction and TXU Gas
will probably appeal any ordinance which approves DUCt's recommendation of 2 centsper
MCF. You should, of course, carefully consider any additional evidence presented to you at the
public hearing before making your decision.
FISCAL INFORMATION: The recent TXU Gas Franchise exempts Spencer from payment of
franchise fees. The setting of this rate would have no impact on the franchise fee revenue
derived from TXU Gas. tf you enact the ordinance and TXU Gas appeals to the Railroad

Letter Report Addressing Complaint of Spencer Station Generating Company, L.P.,
,.Against TXU-Gas Distribution Claiming Unreasonable and Discriminatory Rates For
Gas Service and City of Denton Ordinance No. 2001-482; C. omplaint No. 2001-1
Gentlemen:
We have completed our investigation into the above referenced matter to determine the
appropriate rate to be charged for transmission service by TXU-Gas Distribution at the Spencer
Generating Station. This letter report addresses the background and history underlying this case
which led to the complaint, previous City of Denton actions in this matter, and the analysis and basis
for the recommendations regarding the appropriate transportation rate for the Spencer Generating
Station.
It is important to state that TXU has not cooperated in any way to resolve this matter and
investigation by the City regarding Spencer's complaint. In a letter to the City, TXU takes the
position that the Railroad Commission has jurisdiction over this matter. On the other hand, Spencer
has cooperated and provided responses to our discovery requests regarding the issues surrounding
the complaint.
Given TXU's decision to not answer the most basic of our inquiries, we are not able at this
time to analyze the issue of rate discrimination raised in Spencer's complaint. DUCI has reviewed
the rate for Spencer based on TXU's most recent case, cost of service, rate request and rate
settlement in the City of Denton. Based on the above, the rate currently authorized by Ordinance
No. 2001-251 is the same 2-cent rate: requested by TXU and agreed to by TXU for transportation
service to electric generating facilities like Spencer. TXU's claim of a $0.28 per Mcfrate lbr this
service is not supported by a cost of service, the Company's agreement, the City of Denton
Ordinance No. 2001-251, or the Gas Utility Regulatory Act. The basis and support for this
recommendation is contained in the attached letter report.
We thank you for the opportunity to provide you with these services. We stand ready to
present these findings and recommendations to the Mayor and City Council. Should you have any
additional questi.o/B~s, please feel free 'to call.

COMPLAINT OF SPENCER STATION GENERATING COMPANY, L.P.
AGAINST TXU-GAS DISTRIBUTION COMPANY CLAIMING
UNREASONABLE AND DISCRIMINATORY RATES FOR GAS SERVICE AND
CITY OF DENTON ORDINANCE NO. 2001-482; COMPLAINT NO. 2001-1
Background/History
On or about February 26, 2001, TXU-Gas Distribution (TXU) filed an application
to change rates in approximately 40 cities, including Denton, in the Northwest Metro
M/d-Cities service area. The Northwest Metro system annual increase to customers
requested by TXU was about $10.16 million. On April 2, 2001, TXU revised the rate
request and re-filed a revised application in the cities to correct for computational errors
in the original application. The revised TXU request is based on a $7,358,605 annual rate
increase. Included in Attaclanent 1 is the Company's rate request by city for the
Northwest Metro system.
The following table summarizes the Company system and Denton specific rate
request by customer class:
Residential $4,074,990 $575,214
Commercial $1,679,052 $89,187
Industrial $1,755,353 ~221,457
Servi~e Charges '<$150,790~" <$27,392>
Total Increase $7,358,605-' $858~466
The above described TXU rate increase request is based on the Company's
claimed costs to serve customers in the 40 cities in the Northwest Metro areas. A
summary of the Company's claimed cost of service supporting the rate increase is shown
in Attachment 2.
The $1,755,353 industrial increase is based on service to industrial sales
customersI and transport customers.2 The requested industrial sales increase in rates
requested by TXU is $1,276,062.79 (See Attachment 3). The industrial transport increase
requested by the Company is $479,290.82 (See Attachment 4). The sum o£the industrial
sales and transport increase is $1,755,353 ($1,276,062.79 + $479,290.82), or the total
industrial class increase the Company claimed.
The Company unequivocally represented to the cities in the Northwest Metro
system (including Denton) that a $479,290 rate increase for the transport customer class
Industrial sales customers receive bundled gas service fi'om the Company.
Transport customers purchase only transportation service.
would be sufficient for the Company to recover its costs assigned or allocable to transport
service. Included as Attaclm~ent 5 are the rates and billing units of service assumed by
the Company in the revised rate application. As can be seen from Attachment 5, TXU
assumed that the present and proposed rate for Electric Generating Transportation
service, i.e., Spencer, would be 2 cents. In other words, TXU's own filing assumed a 2-
cent rate from Spencer would be sufficient to recover the Company's claimed costs for
the transport class of customers.
The TXU/Northwest Metro Settlement
On or about June 26, 2001 TXU presented the Settlement Agreement reached
between TXU and the Northwest Metro Mid-Cities attorney/representative Geoffrey Gay.
The following table outlines the Settlement Agreement by rate class:
TXU RATE SETTLEMENT
Residential $4,074,990 $2,5 l 1,719 $1,563,271
Commercial $1,679,052 "' $1,034,952 $6'44, 100
Industrial $1,755,35~' $1,755,138 $215
Service Charge <$150,790> <$150~790> 0
Total $7,3581605 $5,151,019 $2,207,586
Under the settlement, the residential and commercial class customer revenue
requirements are reduced. The industrial class customer revenue requirement and service
charge rates are not changed.3
On or about July t7, 2001, the City of Denton approved the TXU Settlement
proposal with regard to the residential and commercial class customers and approved the
proposed service charges. Ordinance No. 2001-251 at Section 1.1 states: "It]he agreed
residential customer class annual increase is $2,511,718 and. the commercial customer
class annual increase of $1,034,951...". These annual increases are the settlement
increases proposed by the Company as outlined in the above table.
With regard to industrial rates the July 17, 2001 Ordinance at Section 1.5 states:
"...the City Council approves rates for industrial customers in Denton established by
contract between TXU-Gas and such industrial customers."
Given that the Spencer contract rate is 2 cents,4 the Company originally requested
2 cents in its rate application (See Attachment 5), and the Company's Settlement assumes
2 cents for service to Spencer, the City Council of Denton approved rates consistent with
Spencer's contract or 2 cents, approved the 2 cent rate the Company originally requested
There exists a slight $215 change to industrials due to rounding.
See Spencer Station Generating Company, L.P.'s Original Complaint, page 3.
from Spencer, and approved the Company's settlement rate for Spencer, 2 cents. In other
words, by approving rates established by contract between TXU and the customers, the
City of Denton approved the exact rate for Spencer that TXU included in its request for
Spencer. Nothing more or less was approved. The transcript from the July 17, 2001 City
Council session when the rate ordinance was approved shows that TXU not only agreed
with the July 17, 2001 rate ordinance, but had input in making changes to the final rate
ordinance approved by the City.
Post Rate Ordinance Filings
On or about August 2, 2001, TXU filed compliance tariffs, lncluded in these
compliance tariffs was a transportation service tariff which included an average rate of
about 28 cents per Mcf. The City of Denton did not approve such a transportation tariff
and notified TXU that such tariff should be removed,s TXU has continued to insist that
industrial sales and transport tariffs were approved implicitly through acceptance of the
settlement. TXU has provided no documents, agreements or any other support for their
implicit tariff rate approval theory. On the other hand, the City of Denton Ordinance is
very specific in what was approved.
The Spencer Rate Complaint
On or about December 13, 2001, the Spencer complaint was filed with the City.
Spencer claims that the transport contract between TXU and Spencer included a transport
charge of 2 cents for transport service. Such charge is consistent with the rate filing
shown in Attachment 5. Spencer's complaint alleges that the TXU contract would end on
December 31, 2001 and that TXU notified Spencer that future transport service would be
charged under a transport service tariff at an average rate of about 28 cents. Again, this
transport service tariff was not approved in the July 17, 2001 tariff.
If TXU were allowed to charge Spencer the 28 cents rather than the 2 cents that
TXU requested in its rate application (the 2 cents TXU agreed under the rate settlement
and the 2 cents approved in Ordinance No. 2001-251, with which TXU agreed), then
TXU would enjoy about a $481,000 windfall. In other words, TXU represented and
agreed in the recent rate proceeding that the Company would charge a 2-cent rate for
transportation service for electric generating companies like Spencer. The settlement and
final rate ordinance established rates to customers based on this representation. To now
charge these customers a 28-cent rate for this service results in a windfall to the Company
at the expense of customers, including Spencer.
Conclusions and Recommendations
The 40 cities including Denton just recently went through an extensive rate setting
investigation with TXU regarding gas rates to be charged to customers in these respective
municipalities throughout the Northwest Metro system. The following facts regarding
5 Tl~e rate approved in Ordinance No. 2001-251 did not include industrial sales or transport rates other than
existing contract rates.
transport service for electric generating customers can be found in documents fi'om the
rate setting process:
i. TXU represented that the charges for transport service under its proposed
rates for electric generating companies like Spencer would be 2 cents;
2. TXU represented in its rate filing to the cities including Denton that a 2-cent
charge for transport service to electric generating companies like Spencer
would allow TXU to recover/ts costs;
3. TXU agreed to settle its rate proceeding with all cities in the Northwest Metro
system including Denton;
4. Under the settlement, TXU represented that its rate for transport service for
electric generating customers'like Spencer would be 2 cents;
5. The contract rate for Spencer, a transport electric generating customer, is the
same 2 cents that TXU agreed would allow full cost recovery and allow TXU
to recover its revenue requirement under its rate request and settlement;
6. The City of Denton approved the rate settlement for residential and
commercial customers and service charges;
7. In Ordinance No. 2001-251, The City of Denton approved industrial rates
consistent with then existing contracts;
8. The City of Denton approved a 2-cent rate for Spencer which was consistent
with the cost based rate proposed by TXU in the Company's filing and rate
settlement;
9. The City of Denton specifically denied TXU's requested tariff industrial rates
presented in TXU's claimed compliance filing;
10. TXU has not filed an additional rate proceeding requesting authorization to
charge rates different than those rates approved in Ordinance No. 2001-25 I;
11. The only rate approved for Spencer is the 2-cent contract rate.
Given all of the above, the rates approved in Ordinance No. 2001-251, the
agreements and representations made by TXU, the only rate authorized for transport
service to generating customers is the 2 cents approved by Denton and agreed to by the
Company. Moreover, any different rate would be inconsistent with Ordinance No. 2001-
251, inconsistent with the Company's agreements and representations to the City of
Denton, and inconsistent with the Gas Utility Regulatory Act.
Given that TXU refuses to cooperate in this important matter before the City,
DUCI is unable to detemfine whether TXU's proposed 28-cent charges are
discriminatory. DUCI requested information regarding TXU's other electric generating
station transport rates, including those for TXU affiliate generating stations, but TXU has
not provided such information.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
AGENDA DATE:
DEPARTMENT:

April 2, 2002
Planning & Developmem
Dave Hill, 349-8314
SUBJECT
Consider approval of a resolution of the City of Demon, Texas establishing local governmem sponsor
support for the "Land Use / Transportation Joint Venture" transportation grant funding awarded by the
North Cemral Texas Council of Governmems (NCTCOG) Regional Transportation Council (RTC);
and providing an effective date.
BACKGROUND
A resolution has been prepared for City Council consideration that is required by the North Central
Texas Council of Governmems (NCTCOG) Regional Transportation Council (RTC) to receive an
$883,092 transportation grant for the State School Road Connector and a nearby 1-35E ramp reversal
project. If the resolution is not submitted to the RTC by April 10, 2002, the project may not be added
to the NCTCOG Transportation Improvemem Program (TIP) because of an upcoming federally
required air quality conformity cycle. If a project is not listed on the TIP, the funding cannot be used
and the project cannot move forward. Two letters from NCTCOG are attached that explain the
resolution requirements.
The Teasley Lane Corridor Study was commissioned in late 1999, and initiated a series of discussions
focused on traffic congestion and safety concerns as rapid residemial developmem began to
overwhelm the capacity of this 2-lane rural farm-to-market road (FM 2181). The city and county have
partnered to fund the engineering design expanding FM 2181 from two to six lanes, from Wind River
Drive to Hickory Creek Road, and efforts to obtain construction funding are well under way.
Even if Teasley Lane (FM2181) is expanded to six lanes, the northern portion of the road from Wind
River Drive to Robinson Road will still operate at an unacceptable level of service. The Corridor Study
recommended a new east-west collector street, which has been called the State School Road Collector.
This road would allow access to Teasley from the 1-35E / State School Road exit, and would provide
northbound motorists on 1-35E conveniem access to subdivisions such as Sundown Ranch and Wind
River Estates. Traffic movemem through the State School Road exit would provide much-needed
relief for the 1-35E / Loop 288 imerchange as motorists head south on Lillian Miller. The collector
would not be a major arterial; FM 2499 will provide better access to subdivisions further south when
built.
When the RTC announced the availability of gram funds, the city partnered with Bob Shelton
Emerprises to submit a joim venture application. The application requested $3 million; the gram ward
was $883,092. Despite the lower award, the State School Road and 1-35E ramp reversals can still be
constructed. Funding is already in place for the ramp reversal project as a result of matching funds
being provided by the Texas Departmem of Transportation (TXDOT). For the State School Road
Connector, a portion of the funds needed for construction will be provided as part of the Unicom Lake
developmem. A traffic impact study is being conducted to determine the proportional share to be
contributed by the private developer.
OPTIONS
If the resolution is not approved, the grant funds are not lost.
with the project could be delayed for a period of a year or more.
However, the ability to move forward
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
ESTIMATED PROJECT SCHEDULE
Engineering work for the ramp reversal is expected to start in May 2002. Coordination of the State
School Road Connector is underway, with design amicipated to begin in late summer.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
City Council reviewed the Teasley Lane Corridor Study four times in the first half of 2000. The
Planning & Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing to amend the Mobility Plan by adding the
State School Road Connector in November 2001, and held two work sessions in December 2000 and
April 2001. The State School Road Connector Mobility Plan amendmem has not been pursued since
to allow more detailed Unicom Lake project design to guide the alignmem.
FISCAL INFORMATION
The gram amoum is $883,092. The State School Road Connector has been allocated $588,728, with a
local match requiremem of $411,272. The ramp reversal project has been allocated $294,364, with a
local match requiremem of $205,636. The local match requiremem does not hold the City of Demon
responsible for all matching funds; private developer funds are also considered local match. For the
ramp reversal project, the City of Demon has $500,000 in Capital Improvemem Program funds from
the 2000 bond election specifically designated for use on ramp reversals.

Dear Mr. Hill and Mr. Shelton:
The Sundown Ranch project that your partnership submitted for consideration under the
Land-Use/Transportation Joint Venture Program has been selected for funding by the Regional
Transportation Council. Your project will serve as a showcase of how the public and private sectors
can work together to accomplish land-use projects that improve quality of life, reduce traffic congestion,
and help achieve air quality goals. Thank you for your hard work and vision.
Please find enclosed:
· a list of all selected Land-Use/Transportation Joint Venture Projects (Attachment 1);
· a map of the projects (Attachment 2); and,
· a project detail sheet describing the limits and requirements for your project (Attachment 3).
As the detail sheet notes, these are federal transportation funds from the Surface Transportation
Program--Metropolitan Mobility (STP-MM) and/or the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
Improvement Program (CMAQ). Federal transportation funds carry a variety of requirements and are
provided to the local government through the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on a
reimbursement basis. Each of the Joint Venture Projects will be placed in the Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP) as one or more individual project listings in a fiscal year appropriate for the
timing of the project. Each project must be included in a federally approved TIP consistent with air
quality conformity findings before any implementation work can proceed.
The role of the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) includes placing selected
projects into the appropriate TIP years and assigning STP-MM or CMAQ funds. NCTCOG staff will
also review and comment on site plans and facility elements that impact transportation issues. To aid
in processing selected projects, NCTCOG staff should be provided with land-use information (e.g.,
tenant agreements, zoning ordinances, maps, definitions of uses, tables of permitted uses) as it
becomes available. Any changes to site plans should also be provided to NCTCOG staff.
The role of project sponsors (public and private) will be to cover ineligible costs, cost over-runs, TxDOT
fees, and the added cost of the project's aesthetic features. Also, sponsors should be aware that no
cost inflation adjustments will be made for the projects selected in this program. The donation of right-
of-way must be coordinated by project sponsors with TxDOT as well. The public sponsor will lead the
project with TxDOT and will sign an agreement with TxDOT in order to receive the funds.

This project will serve as a showcase for innovative ways to reduce vehicle miles traveled through land-
use. As such, public and private project sponsors will be expected to assist NCTCOG staff in
coordinating tours of the project and photographing project sites for publicity. Sponsors will also be
expected to participate in travel data collection (such as personal transportation surveys of area
residents and employees) and in the collection of transit, bike, and pedestrian traffic counts.
Please note that elements of your initiative require your action prior to implementation. The project
sponsors are obligated to continue developing the land-use initiative described to NCTCOG in the
original letter of interest and subsequent project meetings. Your land-use initiative is summarized in the
project detail sheet. Project sponsors are also required to complete any necessary steps listed as
requirements for the project to move forward in the detailed sheet. When the private sector developer
has met land-use commitments at the project site, NCTCOG must be provided with a governing council
or board resolution from the local government sponsor to that effect. The resolution should also
establish the private sector/local government commitment to the local match and authorize the local
government to enter into a contract with the Texas Department of Transportation.
In summary, please be aware of the following issues:
· Your project cannot move forward until your local public sponsors' official resolution has been
received by NCTCOG.

March 8, 2002
As your project was funded under the Land Use Transportation Joint Venture Program, the North Central
Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) is providing you with this update on the current status of the
funding process. (Please see the attached list of funded projects, that was also included with your award
letter.)
You may recall the update sent to you via e-mail on January 7, 2002, that announced that we needed
your governing council or board resolution as soon as possible. The deadline for being placed in our first
quarterly Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) revision this year has passed. Thank you to those
of you who have submitted your resolution. The next quarterly TIP cycle requires TIP revisions to be
submitted to NCTCOG by Wednesday, April 10, 2002. As a reminder, projects cannot move forward
until they are listed in the TIP.
For your project to move forward, NCTCOG needs to be provided with a governing council or board
resolution from the local government sponsor stating that the private sector developer has met land-use
commitments at the project site. Please refer to your award letter (dated November 5, 2001 ) for
additional guidance. The resolution should include a statement that resembles the following:
That the city affirms that .(name of the private sector developer of the property) is proceeding with
the development satisfactorily and according to the city's application
for joint venture funding.
Projects that fail to meet the April 10, 2002 schedule for being included in the TIP may be impacted by
the federally required air quality conformity cycle. We are expecting a period of time in the future when,
due to federal air quality conformity scheduling, no TIP modifications can be made. This could result in a
two-year delay for your project. In order to avoid that lengthy delay, project sponsors should contact
NCTCOG immediately if they do not anticipate meeting the April 10, 2002 date for submitting a
resolution. We will need to meet with you to discuss the viability of your project given the federal air
quality conformity requirements related to your project. NCTCOG staff is available to assist you in
developing the land use and transportation aspects of your project. Please contact Rachel Harshman,
Jared White, or me at (817) 695-9240 for any assistance you need in implementing your project.
