APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION GIVING NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ISSUE
CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION AND ALL MATTERS RELATED THERETO:
Mr . Johnson, Finance Director, stated at the last meeting
Council approved CO' s up to $150 ,000 , since that time it has
been noted the cost to be more than expected . The
Resolution before Council tonight is for CO' s not to exceed
$200,000 , this has to do with the additional easement cost.
This is with a pay out in 10 years with a 8% interest rate.
If Council approves the Resolution, the Ordinance will be on
the agenda for the first meeting in June.
Councilman Naish wanted to know if we could pay out early
with out any problems . Mr . David Medanich said it depends
on who the purchaser is, but you can ask for a 5 year pay
out without penalties .
322
Mayor Pro Tem Akin said we really do not have any choice
but to go ahead with this, we keep coming up with additional
easements and this does disturb me, that we do not know how
many easements we have and how many we need. City Manager
Charles Norwood stated that we started out with 33
easements , and today we have 58 to 62 easements, this is why
I have asked Council to increase this amount so we can take
care of getting these easements. Mayor Pro Tem Akin said he
understood, but he knows that Mr . Norwood did not have any
part of this and he knows who is responsible for seeing how
many easements we need and to go this far and this long and
still not know how many easements are required to do what we
have to do.
Mayor Trimble wanted to know the status on the easements.
Mr. Homeyer said easements came in in different groups and
when I put them together, there were more than I had
anticipated.
Mayor Pro Tem Akin wanted to know how long Mr . Homeyer has
been working on this , about five or six months. Mr. Homeyer
said yes, but some of the easements descriptions did not
reach the City of Wylie until three weeks ago, so up until
three weeks ago I could not nail down the total number of
easements needed. Mayor Trimble wanted to know if it was
because staff is not for sure which way the line is going to —*%
be laid . Mr. Homeyer said the location is not the problem,
the problem was finding out who the owner is, with all the
foreclosures and property owners just walking off their
property, it was hard to find the proper party to talk with.
Motion was made by Councilman Messenger to approve the
Resolution Giving Notice of Intention to Issue Certificates
of Obligation and all Matters related thereto. Seconded by
Councilman Swartz . The vote was as follows : Mayor Trimble
- in favor , Mayor Pro Tem Akin - in favor , Councilman Swartz
- in favor, Councilman Messenger - in favor, Councilman
Blakey - in favor , and Councilman Naish - in favor. This
motion carried with all in favor.
