Council Member Rlddlesperger stated that in other words, no
consideration w:,s given at any time to the hospital.
McGrane responded consideration for Flow had not peen given for the
use of revenue snaring funds.
Council Member Hkddlespery~,r stated consideration nad not been given
for any other funds either.
McGrane replied that discussions regarding Flow had been hold during
the budget review sessions by the executive staff.
.uuncil Member Hiddleaperger stated that revenue sharing fetus
should be given to something that was not cecurring and Flow might
nape been one of the possibilitles during the budget diacusaiona.
Mayor Pro Tem Hopk!ns stated that, he agreed with Counc`. Memoer
Hiddleaperyar, de then atXad if 950,000 had not oeen budgeted last
year rot a mapping system.
Acting City Manager Rick Svehla reported that the $50,000 from the
General Fund and W p000 from the Utility Fund had been iudgeted
last year to supply the aerial pnotographs to begin the mapping
prucedure. The money in the proposed budget was fur the
topographical ,naps. This would be arl on-going program. fnv
previously budgeted funds had oeen used for sirveying work, to
estdblian the grid aystem and to do tea actual fiiynts to tare
orthoprujeetion photographs. The proposed funds would be used to
produce the topographical maps trom the oethoprojections.
Council Member McAdams added that an additional amount in the last
year's uudget fui inappiny nad been deleted,
Mayor Pro Tem do,rklns stared that ne was very concerned tnat tnis
va^ as urgent a project as others wnich needed to me funded, Ho
dsKed staff to discuss why tnia project needed to be done now versus
some of toe special projects wnicn would be faced during the next
budget year.
Svenia reported that staff was presenting the mapping system due to
the fact that existing photographic and topographical maps did not
cover the current city limits. There was now no base data to be
used for any purposop such as to determine ownersnip, and use
planning, utility planning, or right-of-way and transportation
planning. Tne maps now being used were from 19?4. This new mapping
system would tie the existing information into developing areas and
allow staff to give council better data on what was occurring in the
extraterritorial jurisdiction,
Council Me,nuer Slepnens asxed if the mapping system would provldie
information on drainage or would the F9MA maps suffice.
Svehla responded that tr,e FEMA maps did no',. provide all of the
pertinent information, FEMA maps provided information on flood
plains only :put uid not look at specifics In terms of areas for
individual suudivisiuns.
Council leOuer Stephens asKed if the pr~,,osed mapping system would
catcn the City up,
Svehla reported that the maps would help a great deal. 'this wad the
basic type information wnicn staff needed.
Council Member McAdams stated that there had oeen occasions when
citizens nad requested Information from the Planning and O mmunity
Development Department and Could not get the a.swers :0 their
questions oecause the area was not mapped, Council needed to be
cognizant of the errors which could be Made without an up-to-date
map,

Council Memo#t Alf urd stated th)t the concerns over inadequate
mapping lnforiottion 14dt yeit -;nt^,n do,% Nelson had related to the
watet and ,,ew.i •
Mayor Pro 'irt. n+ fcs he was concerned that the Councii
was going to ba l ua:m fo• .uac for Flow as well as other projects
before the oudget review process wJ5 completed. He would prefer to
see excess sales tax monies ba used foe the mapping systen..
Council Itemoer Aiddlesporger stated that no felt the cost of the
mapping could come from the Utility Fund. The council was going to
have to find 550000'0 for Plow tnis year due to the transition
period at the hospital. His question was if money from Flor
Hospital could be taken from the revenue snaring funds.
Mayor Stewart asked it the revenue @hating funds included any
community Development Block Grant funds.
MCUrane responded that tnis was revenue sharing only.
mayor Stewart then asked if the amount presented was the total
tmount of revenue shoring funds.
Mcurane replied that Lne figure was bated on staff's estimate of
what the city would receive. No official notice had been received.
All vt the publications which the Finance Department received had
indicated that it vas likely that cities, would receive 1001 of the
allocation but this had not ueen approved by Congress. The House
had recommended a Zit decreas5, the Senate reconmended full
allocation for the nexL ydar only. This nad not been resolved.
The mayor opened the public hearing.
No one spoke.
me Mayor closed the public nearing.
d. The Council held a puDlic hearing on the City
Managec's 1965-86 proposed budget.
Uonn MCurdne, Director of Finance, reported that City Cnarter
required a puDlic iearinv oe held to give citizens an opportunity to
express their cpinions foe or against any item in the proposed
oudget.
The Playor opened the puullc hearing.
me. Mitchell H. 'rutnet, 2113 S~oneyate, spoke in opposition stating
Gnat there were a few Neese of concerns whien he would like to
emphasize. In dollars Lne Ueneral Fend budgkrt 'was up 141 of the
current oudget year wnica was 3 to 4 tines the rate of inflation
which did not seem to oe a realistic increase, The largest increase
was in Personal Services (wages, salsries and heneflts) which were
up 510090,447, whien was an increase of !(11. There was also a
salary increase of $6:5,000 in addition to c,,at. He questioned the
need for 26 new employees, especially the 5 ,-)osttion proposed for
Custo,nec Service, He also questioned the increases since even the
executive increases in 1936 were only going to average 6%. Within
!ne General Fand, the Personal Setvicea :ncreases in tnQ PJUILC
Works Division seemed to oe particularly out of line, An increase
of $359,541 for this division wnicn was an increase of 251 with no
additional staff. Personal Services costs for the Engineering
section in PUDIIC Works was ap f19d,82U which was a 531 increase.
Mr. Turner then asked now such increases could oe justified in
salaries, wages and benefits. Another concern was the utility
system which showed a Personal Services rixpenditures were budgeted
to Increase $1#416#649 which was an increase of 299, Additionally,
tne:a was a salary Adjustment of 5379,)20. this type of Increase

also caused nim 1.0 question the 16 new posl.ions in the Utility
Department, eapscially when he read that electricity rates would
need to bu increased 123 and water rates another St. Tne electric
ratea were already too nigh and non-competitive, dis biuJest
concern was that the city did not sefrm to know now to hndle
prosperity. By prosperity ne ,neant the tremendous increase i, the
tax base of $196,;?D,000 over 1944 and a favorable s,conomy. It is
not necessary to spend all of the reve,~ues generated by the
increased tax base using one current tax rate. Tnis was exactly
what the proposed 7udget would do. Denton city taxes were not
competitive with other Dallas area suburban cities. An article had
appeared in the Dallas I4orninq News on Augus', 8, which compared
suburban cities bayed on proposed budgets and tax rates for the neat
fiscal. year. The tax bills for a SiO0,OUO house compared ai followst
Denton $587.00
Farmers drancn s28o.00
MrCndrdsba $320.00
Arlington $J49.OU
Carrollton $152.U0
du st and Plano $JSM0
Grand Pralrle $405.00
Lewisville $451,OD
McKinney $622.00
The only suburoa, city witn a higher tax bill than Denton was
McKinney, Me, Turner stated that he had moved to Denton in 197d
because of its convenience to Dallas and Fort worth and because it
was d more economical place to live, filth the utility rates and
taxes, the city was rapidly losing the ima;e of Denton being an
economical place to live, He belieeed that taxpayers were entitled
to n reduction in tno current tax rata of 59If per $100 evaluation to
get the effective rate within the 34 increase level.
Mr. Greg Taylor, Denton Firefighter, spoke in resp'nee to Mr.
Turner. Tne City Was Setting at the top of the metroplex and did
not i,a:e the benefit of the direct industrial spin-off which the
other suouroan areas had. Denton was beginning a rapi. grontn
phases the land Ise around the City was growing by leaps and
bounds. the City did not gave the industrial base money coming in
and additional tax revenues were needed. Me appreciated the
proposed pay increases wnien the Council was considering. fie
thanked Katnryn Ustey and Getty McKean for the work which they had
done on the Pair Labor Stdndards Act for the Fire Department, Ile
challenged the Council to !ook ahead and keep in touch with the
needs a:• the '1ty. A new fire station wea to be opened in 1986 and
an adotional Firefighter had been requested in the budget. 'There
had not been a manning increase in the Fire Department since 1979.
Tne additional land wnicn nad been annexed bet more demand on the
services wnlcn the City provided. Tie addit.onal fire station aadld
nelp greatly but at the same time, calls were increasing. The fires
in Denton were lust :ne same as Dallas or Net wcrtn. Dalian had
recently dune a manning study witch slowed tney felt they needed 4
Firefignters per engine company minimum at all times. Denton did
not nave this minimum manning and he felt it was needed,
Tne Aayor closed the public hearing.
Council Mefnoer Stephens asked McGrane wnat the it increase 4r,
Tuner nad mentioned would be.

MCOrani) reported that the proposed rata for the coming budget year
was 594 per $100 evaluation, If he uneJerstood correctly, the motion
was to reduce this to 57.40f.
Council Member Riddiesperger stated tnat in effect, this would be 1
1124 less, which would be approximately SI$0,0o0 to $200,OOU.
McGrane reported it would be rougnly S210,UO0.
Council Member Riddlesperger stated that he had no problem with
that, with the understanding that there were still budgetary
problems,
Council Member AcAdama Stated gnat one objected based on the fact
that the Council voild be looking for money for Flow Hospital. With
the ti]nt oudget proposed and trying to find SSOU,00!s for the
nospital, cutting $200,000 by reducing the tax rate was a
significant mange. It would make flndiny the money for Flow
harder. Tney were not talking about raising the tax Late beyond
what it had previously been.
Mayor Stewart stated tnat taxes would )e raised.
COL'ncil Memos. A,.Adams stated that due to tt~e appraisals from the
Tax Appraisal jistrict, some people would pay more and some would
palF less. m e proposal Pudgot was based on the same actual tax rate
as before. Given thal, the Council would nave co find money for the
nospi,;al, sne felt it appropriate to maintain the tax rate at 599.
Council Member Stephens asxed what the effNctlve tax rate would have
to be to generate the same amount of dollars in the next fieca' year.
McGrane responded that 31 would oe over the iffeccive tax rate which
was calculated to be 55.77.
Council MeoUer Stephens rtated what was 590 last year would take
55.77,0 tnis year to raise the same a;nount of money,
Acting amity Manager RICK Svenla reported that 559 did not a1Lo4 any
inflation.
Council Member Stephens stated that 57.44 would allow for inflation,
Mayor Pro Tern .:opkina -stated that it seemed premature to select a
tax rate prior to completing the review of the budget.
Mayor Stewart stated that this action was required by state Law at
this time,
Mayo. PrU tem HopKins stated 'nat if the rate could be lowered at a
future date out not Increased, it seemed to oe appropriate to leave
it at 59A until the budget was completed and then reduce the rate.
Council Memoer Ridd iperger stated that he concurred and did not
want to jump to cui,.luslons, The 37.44 would reduce the income
oefore the Council knew what would actually be needed. He
personally would like to see the tax rate came down to 57.44 or
lessi nowevet, the Council did face things wnicn were not currently
in the audjet, lire Flow, which would have to be considered.
Council 4'ember McAdams stated that if the Council voted to make this
reductlen, they would Do locked into the dollar amount available and
the budget review would be deciding where to place the money, it
the Council voted to Leave the rate at 599, they could vote to
reduce it at a latar data assuming places to [educe the budget werd
found.
McGrane reported that ti.ere were two things the Cruricll might
