2. The Council received a presentation from the Chair of the
Cable T.V. Advisory Board relative to the impact of "must
carry/retransmission consent" rules on the City of Denton's cable
system.
Susan McGuire, Chair-Cable T.V. Advisory Board, stated that there
were still some issues which needed to be worked out regarding the
retransmission consent with the networks. The agreement with
Channel 4 would require no additional funding. Channel 8 had not
released any details regarding the agreement other than there would
be no cash payment involved. Channel 5 had settled on an agreement
that Sammons could transmit past the October 6 deadline but no
further details were available. The Fox network had granted a 6
month extension in order to continue negotiations. The Cable T.V.
Board's position was still that they were opposed to the provision
of paying for the television services. The Board would keep the
Council informed as the negotiations continued.
John Enlow, Sammons, stated that an agreement had been reached with
Channel 5 but the details were not ready to be released. The
wording which was released was that Sammons could carry Channel 5's
signal with no other details. The matter was extremely sensitive
due to continuing negotiations with other cable companies.
3. The Council received a report and held a discussion regarding
nominating individual(s) to the Denton Central Appraisal District's
Board of Directors.

John McGrane, Executive Director for Finance, stated that five of
the positions for the District's Board of Directors were up for
election. Staff had met with various school superintendents.
Three individuals, John Beck, Gaylord Thornton and Horace Brock,
had been nominated. Board members who had not been nominated, but
possibly would be, included Albert Hughes, Tracy Quinton and
Clarence Myers. Under state law, each jurisdiction could cast
their votes for a nominee. If City wished to nominate someone,
action would be necessary and be submitted' to the Appraisal
District by October 15th. There was an agenda item on the October
12th meeting for a Council nomination if that was their desire.
City Manager Harrell stated that this was a strategic decision as
it would take approximately 1000 votes to elect someone to the
Appraisal District Board while Denton had only 599 votes. If
Council decided to nominate someone, the City would have to combine
with other jurisdictions in order to have the individual elected.
McGrane stated that this would be the last year the City would have
599 votes as the amount of votes was based on the prior year's
levy. Next year the City would have lower votes while the School
District's would be higher.
Mayor Pro Tem Smith asked that if the Council nominated someone,
would the Council then have to vote at a later date for that
individual.
city Manager Harrell stated that the October 12th agenda would have
an item for Council consideration if it desired to nominate an
individual.
McGrane stated that the City would still have voting rights later
after the nominations were over.
Mayor Pro Tem smith felt that the city had a very outstanding
representative on the District BOard now and would lik~ to see that
individual continue on the Board.
4. The Council received a reDort and held a discussion regarding
revisions to the smoking ordinance.
Joseph Portugal, Assistant to the city Manager, stated that at the
July 6th Council meeting a citizen report had been made regarding
a smoking ordinance violation. The proposed ordinance would update
several areas of the current ordinance.
Mayor Castleberry stated that the proposed ordinance did not change
any basic regulations.
345

Portugal replied that it only changed some definitions and
codification errors.
Mayor Castleberry stated that some restaurants had the smoking
section in back of the restaurant and some had the section in the
front of the restaurant. He asked if the ordinance addressed where
that section should be located.
Nonie Kull, Environmental Services Manager, stated that there was
no reference in ordinance to where the section should be placed.
Consensus of the Council was to have the ordinance presented at a
future meeting for consideration.

regarding a business seminar relating to the Clean Air Act and
Storm Water Regulations.
Ms. Wheeler stated that Soroptimist International was the world's
largest classified service club for executive and professional
women. In addition to service projects that benefited the
handicapped, women re-entering the work force, and outstanding high
school seniors, the Soroptimists of Denton were undertaking an
educational project this year regarding clean air and water. The
Soroptimist Club in Denton was sponsoring a symposium on October
16th to educate the small business person on the new laws and
affordable ways of compliance. The Club felt that the Clean Air Act
would cost the small business many dollars and might cause the
closure of some businesses. She encouraged the Council to attend
the seminar and presented a packet of information to the Council
regarding the event.

1993; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Brock motioned, Smith seconded to approve the resolution. On roll

Castleberry "aye". Motion carried unanimously.
6. The Council considered adoption of an ordinance directing the
publication of notice of intention to issue Certificates of
Obligation of the City of Denton.
John McGrane, Executive Director for Finance, stated that this
ordinance would provide for the intent to issue certificates of
obligation for use in renovation of city buildings and would allow
for bonds for engineering and land acquisition for the new
landfill. The anticipated sale would be on November 2, 1993.
Council Member Cott asked why the City was using certificates of
obligation to such a degree. Why was the City not going to the
voters more when going into debt.
McGrane replied that it was a policy decision. State law allowed
for the issuance of general obligation debt which had to be voted
on by the citizens and certificates of obligation which did not.
It had been a policy that in these two instances, certificates of
obligation would be used.
City Manager Harrell stated that with the building project, the
certificates of obligation which would be used for the building
project would be retired from lease income which the City would
receive from Cooke County College and Morrison Milling. There
would be no tax dollars associated with the retiring of that debt.
The landfill portion of the issuance would be in the utility area
which was treated differently from general obligation bonds.
Council Member Cott suggested using more general obligation bonds
and very few certificates of obligation when financing. Those who
paid the taxes should be made more aware of the City's debt.
Council Member Brock stated that since tax money was not being used
to pay off the certificates of obligation for the renovation of the
Denton Municipal Complex, this financing method was very
appropriate.

staff direction regarding a schedule to receive the final report
from the citizens' Sales Tax Advisory Committee and related
matters.
City Manager Harrell stated that the citizens Advisory Committee
had informally concluded their deliberations and were in the
process of preparing a formal written report. Staff needed to know
how to proceed following the distribution of the report on October
15th. The Committee desired to formally come before Council after
the written report was released for a verbal summary to Council.
Possible dates for that summary were October 19th or October 26th.
Following the summary report, it was suggested that Council set a
time to hear from Dr. weinstein regarding the issue. A critical
date to keep in mind was November 16th which was the last date to
send a submission to the Justice Department indicating a city
election would be held in January, if that was the Council's
desire. With the last bond election which the City had, the only
issue on the ballot was the bond issue which would be similar to
this proposed election. There was a single polling place for the
last. bond election at the civic Center which might also be possible
for this election. December 1st was the last date to call the
election for the 15th of January. Two critical factors were the
date at which the Committee would present a summary to the Council
and a date for Dr. Weinstein to address the Council.
Mayor Castleberry asked for suggestions for a date for the
Committee presentation.
Council Member Perry suggested that such a presentation would be
best at a work session and suggested the October 26th meeting.
Council Member Brock stated that she would prefer the October 19th
meeting as she would not be present on the 26th. Also, the October
19th meeting was a regular meeting with the possibility of having
the public present for the report.

ask questions.

Weinstein on the same evening as the Committee summary as a follow-
up to their presentation.
