Thera are j apartments next to the Escadrille, the Esquire, and near Mayo'st however, { we have not had any complaints from residents about noise or debris. In fact, we have not had any complaints concerning noise or debris on any club except the Mulberry Club. we had a few complaints about the disco speakers being outside the front door of the Mulberry Club. i I h We have had complaints of fights, drunks, and disorderly conduct in several of the clubs. Some involve fights over pool games involving people who had been drinking alcoholic beverages. 4 During the Spring and Fall months when residents have thoir windows ~ open at night, they are subject to vehicle noise until after midnight every night and more so if they are near a street that ` carries traffic near the area of the clubs. This noise is not as noticeable during the Winter and Summer months when the houses are 4 closed vp. It is my opinion that should clubs be permitted to stay open until F 2100 a.m. some areas of town would have vehicle noise until after 3100 a.m., especially on Friday and Snturday nights during the Spring and Fall months. s, Should the Council amend the ordinances that are being challenged at this time and the hours of operation extended, we would in all liklihood have problems and numerous complaints of noise and distur- bances. { Should these ordinances be amended a very gtriet code should be implemented restricting the location of public dance halls to F major thoroughfares. 1t is my opinion that we have enough clubs to meet the needs of the public without changing any ordinances.

Chris Hartung DATE: April 30, 1979 SUBJECT: Responses to Phil Larimore's Inquiries. i 1. why am I required to pay a 25% penalty on a past due balance? { Monthl pyment of Penalty'Charges The City of Derton Code of Ordinances requires a 5% penalty charge each month when a customer is unable to pay their utility bill. Mr. Larimore still oCthe 5s penalty € charge t each utility month. and consequently is assessed The Customer Service Suppervisor has agreed to allow Mr. Larimore's service to continue if he will meet the terms of the agreement made in Januaryo but this agreement does not address or affect how Mr, Larimore's bill must be calculated. The Public Utilities Commission Regulations allow for a one-time penalty not to exceed five percent on delinquent commercial or indus- such penalty shall apply to residential bills tr~ai bills . However , no under this rule. (P.U,C. Regulations 052.02.04.044b.) Although our system does not fall under the jurisdiction o> the P.U.C „ we are currently analyzing our present policy of charging a five percent penalty on delinquent accounts in light of the P.U.C. regulations. poi completiop of this study we will' submit our report to the City Council for their consideration, 2. Why can't utility management Control billing dates more efficiently? ~ { ~ ' V~riebility'o€'the'Billino'Cycle I During the past month, the utility billing cycle has slipped by two weeks, This delay has been caused by turnover in the meter reading 1 positions and the difficulty of filling the vacant positions. Nit only one position now vacant, the billing cycle has now been stabilized. The following actions are being taken to restore bi)lings to the proper time and to bring variability within acceptable limits: -hire seasonal summer help for meter reading, improve operational management through performance reveling and quality control, and I -provide more flexible scheduling processes for meter reading ;provide billing, 1i { 1 3. Is it true we pay 25-30: higher rates than T.P.&L, customers? A feature article in the Sunday, April 22% 1979 edition of the Denton County Enterprise reported that the City of Denton consumers paid 25-30% higher rates than TP&L Customers. Although Denton 's rates are higher than TP&L, they generally range between 10% to 20%. Over the past 9 months Denton's cost of electricity was 19.5% higher than for-an highere for customer using ve kilowatt month, it was hours per month. The rca; cause of higher electric bills that your City of Denton is experiencing is the tremendously high cost of natural gas being charged the City by Lone Star Gas Company. In the mid-sixties and again, in the early seventies, when the City made decisions to build additional electric generating units, the.cost of natural gas was approximately '20t per 1000 cubic feet for natural gas from Lone Star Gas Company. Today the City of Denton is paying approximately $2.00 per 1000 cubic feet for natural gas from Lone Star Gas Company. The cost of $2.00 per 1000 cubic feet now means that ,a KWH delivered to the consumer re- quires 2.54 of fuel or 10 times as much as it did only 6 years ago. Since it is often difficult to read exact numbers from a chart line I that presented by Stone and Webster, I have tabulated the actual electric bills, including fuel adjustment, that an average Denton customer using 800 Kilowatt Hours per month and a conservative Denton 6 customer using 500 Kilowatt Hours per month would pay in comparison jt to a customer of the Texas Power and Light Company under similar usage.

Y Electric'SYStem Capital'8udset Historically the electric department has used current revenues and bond funds for extension and improvements to the system. From the period of 1968 through. 1976 the overall expenditures were divided approximately equally between these two funds. For example, in 1972, current revenues - $581,533 and bond funds - $3330138 for a total of 10 5914,671 and in 1976 - current revenues - $384,735 and bond funds t $589,748 for a total of $974,483. As a result of 'refunding of the outstanding revenue bonds in the first part of 1978, it was determined that the city wou)d be able to use current revenues and balance carried over from prior years for all capital im rovements in the 1978-79 fiscal year. Thus, the dol ar amount of Fixed Asset Expenditures has not drastically changed but € the source of these expenditures has been assumed by one fund Instead of.two separate funds. 1 I M~ 1 CITY of DENTON, TEXAS MUNICIPAL BUILDING/ DEN rON, TEXAS 76201 / TELEPHONE (817) 382.9601 TO: Chris Hartung, City Manager FROM: Sill Davis, Assistant Director of Finance DATE: May 3,' 1979 SUBJECT; Homestead Exemptions on Property Tax The following shows the impact of the over-65 Homestead Tax Exemption o.i our tax levy for the year 19781 1 ~I Total valuation (60% of appraised) $298,2440752 E Valuation of exempted. homesteads $ 8,920,590 % of total valuation 3.0% Tax amount on total valuation S 3,698,234.92 F Tax amount oh exempted homesteads $ 110,615.32 Number of exempted homesteads 1,588 I ^r `h-..

The concern has been the sewer use charge based on water consumption. Churches are on :ewer rate which is based on 80% of the water consumption each month. The churches have an irrigational requirement and several of the churches have asked that the church sewer rated in the summer be based on some average of winter water Consumption as is done with re- cidential sewer rates, The amendment to the sewer rates, (see attached Exhibit 1) establishes a separate sewer rate classification for churches. This sewer rate would be the same as the residential sewer rate which is based on the consump- tion of the second highest winter months of December, January and February as the basis for the summer months. The rate would also utilise a 98% return flow factor, which is the same as a residential customer. The only J difforence between the proposed church sewer rate and the residential sewer rate is that the proposed gallon maxinnim as does thresidential sewer rate. The churches will,con- I tinue on the commercial and industrial water rate, I . FINANCIAL SUMMARYi rent as It is estimated that the loss of revenue of such a proposed amend- ! applied to churches is estimated to be npt more than $5,000 per year. ACTION REQUIRED, Approve the proposed church sewer ordinance amendment or some modification of such, or take no action and let present sewer rates remain in effect. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve proposed church sewer rate ordinance amendment. I 2• Approve modified amendment to rate ordinance. 3. No action.
