Mr. Craig Rathmann, Underwood Neuhaus, the Financial Advisor for M.U.D. No. 4,
informed that since he met with Council last week, he has, on suggestion by the
Council, restructured the financing of the refunding bonds in such a way that at
least the same principal amount of bonds would be retired with the new bonds as would
mature under the maturity schedule of the basic debt. Mr. Rathmann stated that the
Debt Comparison Schedule he has provided Council indicates they have met the
instructions given them and, in fact, have exceeded the requirements for Council.
Frank Ildebrando, Underwood Neuhaus, the Financial Advisor for the City, informed he
has reviewed the Debt Comparison Schedule. He believes it is a fair comparison and
sees no problem with it.

No. R89-3 be passed and approved on the first and only reading.

City Manager Ron Wicker explained that two of the responsibilities of the City on the
FM 518 Widening Project are the relocation of utilities and the drainage. We have,
at this time, discovered three different locations whereby it is impossible for us to
relocate the lines. The State has come up with a process whereby they allow the
installation of conflict boxes that would insure proper drainage and they have
provided us plans for these boxes. The contractor for the State had a set amount of
$10,000 per each conflict box. City Staff believed the price to be excessive and,
not wanting to delay the contractor on the widening project, Bill Thomasset, Director
of Public Works, obtained, on an emergency basis, three written bids. They are:
David Wight Construction $21,330
Mainland Construction 25,275
Contractors, Inc. 25,500
Mr. Thomasset said he would recommend award of bid to David Wight Construction on the
basis of their low bid and they are prepared to move in tomorrow.
It was moved by Councilmember Smith, seconded by Councilmember Roberts, that Council
award the emergency bid to David Wight Construction for the construction of three
conflict boxes on FM 518 East in the amount of $21,330 and payment be made from the
appropriate funds.
Motion passed 4 to 0.
The meeting adjourned at 7:23 P. M.
