Review and Update of City Financials and Waste Water Treatment Plant. City Manager addressed this item and proceeded with a discussion concerning the City's financial state and status of the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The discussion covered the information that was provided to Upper Trinity concerning housing, property tax collections, and sewer tap revenues. The decline in growth has impacted these revenues sources. In summary the revenues that were projected to help with the cost of the sewer plant are no longer there. The impact fee study will not be completed until June, and at that time those fees will be implemented. The concern factor is this only applies to new development and unless development turns around those impact fees and tap fees revenues will not be generated as it has in the past. The comprehensive water and wastewater study will determine the initial size of the new plant for the future needs of the City. The City Manager indicated Upper Trinity is in agreement of not proceeding with the engineering of the wastewater treatment plant until the comprehensive study is completed. After completion of the study, they will reevaluate the City's revenue sources. The economy is a determining factor concerning future growth. City Manager discussed the current bond debt that will be paid off within the next couple of years. The Wal-Mart tax abatement goes off in 2010 and goes on the tax roll at 100% generating increase revenues. The sales tax revenues are remaining constant. This could be triggered by local residents shopping at local establishments and eating at fast food and restaurants in Sanger. The advantage the City has is that 4A and 4B are financially stable to help with infrastructure development. The City's overall financial status is still good. A brief discussion followed concerning the taxable value on Wal-Mart's personal property for 2008. There was an overview of the Comptroller's Economic Outlook that provided information of the latest economic indicators. Discussion concerning the requirements of TCEQ regarding infiltration to the sewer plant. City Manager advised that due to the fact that problems are caused by infiltration, TCEQ is more understanding than if the City was having the problem due to growth factors. The other benefit is that the City is in the process of building; and if the City continues to move forward with the new sewer plant, he does not think the City will have any issues with TCEQ. City Manager discussed current capacity is at 70% and the requirement to be in the planning stages is at 90%. The City is in the planning stages, and we are in compliance. 3. Overview of New Sign Ordinance. The City Manager gave a review of the proposed sign ordinance submitted by the Sign Committee. The new ordinance addresses many issues that are not addressed in the current ordinance. It also contains significant changes and requirements. The major changes on signs were as follows: • Light -illuminating signs are not allowed including LED or projection signs. • Signs on fences or railing are not allowed except for Agricultural signs. • Banners or pennants, except where specifically allowed, are prohibited. • Neon signs are still prohibited. • Off -Premise Signs other than billboard signs are prohibited. Billboard signs are allowed in I-1 and I-2 zoning districts. • Portable Signs are prohibited. • Pole Signs are allowed but are more restrictive than the past. Councilman Garza indicated that the Council voted several years ago to ban billboard signs in the City limits. He advised that the City Attorney had also reviewed and approved the change. The City Manager advised this is not in the ordinance, and a City can't outlaw billboard signs. Lengthy discussion continued concerning the existing ordinance to ban billboard signs and State requirements. Councilman Patton asked if the Committee took the existing ordinance and worked from it or did they use a model from another similar City. The City Manager advised, after reviewing several ordinances from other cities, they used the model from the City of McKinney. The Sign Committee compared it our existing sign ordinance for recommended changes. The City Manager continued to discuss the changes as follows: • On windows, no more than 25% can be covered with signage. • Non -Premise directional signs are prohibited. • A meritorious exception for unique situations and it is at Council's discretion. Councilman Garza asked who controls the distribution of handbills within the City. He also inquired on who regulates the abandonment of signs. The City Manager indicated that the only way we can regulate hand bills is if someone calls to complain. In the matter concerning the abandonment of signs, the new ordinance allows the City to act within 180 days after a business closes. If the sign becomes inappropriate, then it must be covered up or taken down depending on the structure and condition of the sign. Discussion followed concerning issues regarding signage. The City Manager advised if Council is comfortable with the proposed ordinance it will be an action item in the first meeting in February. Councilman Ervin asked if the Planning and Zoning Commission could review the new ordinance. City Manager advised that he would submit the ordinance to the Planning and Zoning Commission for their recommendations. Councilman Garza asked that staff research if the City has an ordinance to ban billboard signs. He indicated there are several cities that are very stringent with their signs and do not have any billboards. Discussion continued regarding the new restrictions to pole signs. The existing signs are grandfathered in. 4. Overview of Items on Regular Agenda. 5. Adjournment, Mayor Higgs adjourned the meeting.

Dill 115 Teal Road Sanger, Texas 76266 9404584895 micliaeltdillwahoo.com TO: Mike Brice City Manager City of Sanger Sanger, Texas 76266 Mr. Brice, I have thoroughly enjoyed volunteering with the Sanger Parks Board, but I am writing to inform you that I will not be continuing to volunteer in any formal capacity with the board effective at the end of the January 13°1 Sanger Parks Board meeting. I will lead that meeting and at the end of it, when new Parks Board officers have been selected, I will hand it over to the new Sanger Parks Board President. As I mentioned, I have enjoyed my time on the Sanger Parks Board, and would not trade the experience for anything. However, I have accepted a professional position at a local radiopharmaceutical company and would like to devote all my time to that endeavor. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, but I'm sure a new board member will be found. Mike Brice From. Mike Brice [mbnce@sangen:exas.org] lent.

Subject: billboards Billboards were banned in all zoning districts in 2000. The current ordinance reflects that ban. According to Mr. Dillard there is case law supporting a total ban on billboards. The new ordinance will be changed to reflect the total ban currently in place. I apologize for misspeaking. I am glad you guys caught it. That is why we have taken our time on this ordinance to make sure we have worked out as many of the bugs as possible. We are currently editing for typo's and fixing some numbering errors. As soon as it is ready we will send it out via email. It will be on the first agenda in February for consideration.

ADMINISTRATION: Google Analytics shows that the Library website was visited 344 times in November. An average of 3.18 pages were viewed by each visitor. Karen Van Patten was hired as the part-time Library Assistant. CIRCULATION: Deleted records for books overdue since 2005. COLLECTION: Continued the re-barcoding project. This month Junior Fiction was done and paperback fiction was begun. The project is about 80% completed. Consolidated the reference section in to less space. Shifted the fiction section, making the shelves on the front wall available for displays and currently popular materials. PROGRAMS; Book Clubs for teens and adults met. A Scrapbooking workshop featuring Christmas cards was attended by nine people. The Storytime theme was "Playtime". During the program "Sharing", the children decorated a box in which to collect food for the Crisis Center. The children brought food for the box at later Storytimes and patrons brought some, too; so two boxes of food actually were donated to the Crisis Center. At the "Toys" program, kids made a Christmas decoration out of cinnamon clay. The final program was a "Teddy Bear Party". Two popular activities were "Hide -and -Seek" and the Teddy Bear Obstacle Course.

The first commercial Christmas cards came out in 1843 in London, and by 1875 Christmas cards were being produced in the U.S. Even though the ease of e-mail and the reliability of telephone calls have reduced the number of greeting cards sent annually, almost 2 billion Christ- mas cards were sent out in the U.S. in 2005, according to www.wikipedia.com. Whether con- templating your entire list, or just a select few recipients, what could be more heartwarming and personal than individual, handmade cards? There are simple techniques to create unique greetings, using basic .templates for card and envelope shapes, with col- d and coordinating ribbon orepapers, , stickers, die -cuts, and even other cards providing the decorative ele- ments. The Sanger Public Library will host a free Christmas card -making workshop on Sunday, December 7th, from 2 to 5 p.m. for all ages and skill I Templates, stencils, paper cut- ters, decorative -edged scissors, a Sizzix© machine with two different alphabets, and card examples from our workshop last year will be pro- vided. Scrapbooking magazines and books for inspiration and ideas will be available, as will the library com- puters and software, including Corel Paintbrush©. Participants will need to bring Christmas scrapbook paper and cardstock, which are often packaged together in coordinating patterns and lors and available at discount coand craft stores. They should also bring any decorations such as gift wrap, rib- bon, rickrack, buttons, stickers, stamps, charms, or glitter they might wish to use or trade with others. Pho- tographs can also be brought to in- corporate into photo cards, and un- used or received cards can be recycled into something new. Any past scrap- book work is always welcome, espe- cially Christmas pages and cards. The Christmas card workshop is offered at no charge, but it is impor- tant participants bring paper to work with.

Drawer 305 • Lewisville, TX 75067 (972) 219-1228 Fax:(972) 221-9896 Thank you for meeting with us recently to discuss the Clear Creek Water Reclamation Plant and Pipeline Project. Your wise counsel concerning the pace of growth and development in the Clear Creek basin is coveted. In recent months, economic conditions and a slowdown in the housing market have prompted Sanger and Upper Trinity to adjust the construction of the project. The key issue is: we want the Plant to be operational when Sanger and the nearby area need it, but we want to avoid creating a financial burden by constructing too soon. As background information, the current status of the project is: • Sanger has previously secured the wastewater discharge permit from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, • Sanger has also acquired a site for the Plant, • Draft Environmental Impact Statement is prepared - - received responses from all required state agencies, except for the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) that will comment when the State Participation application is submitted, • The City's wastewater treatment facilities are sufficient to treat existing flows, including additional flow related to growth; and, the City is continuing its improvements to reduce inflow and infiltration in its collection system. These circumstances offer flexibility and enable alternatives that will maintain a readiness to serve, while avoiding over -building and protecting the best interest of the City and Upper Trinity. We have previously agreed that the construction of the Clear Creek Plant should be delayed for several months - -with periodic review of the existing conditions. In the meantime, the City is able to continue utilizing its existing facilities in the most efficient and prudent manner. These circumstances enable Upper Trinity to take a more measured pace in developing the Clear Creak Plant. Based on these facts and after our recent discussions, the following strategies seem to be prudent: • Continue the application for funding from the TWDB for State Participation funds for submittal in July 2009, Upper Trinity Regional Water District Letter to Mike Brice January 8, 2009 Page 2 of 2 • Include the Plant and associated wastewater trunk line as part of Upper Trinity's list of projects to be included in TWDB 2010 Intended Use Plan, • Initiate Plant desiqn after the City has finalized its wastewater master plan, and the size of the first phase of the Plant has been mutually determined, • Continue to identify and acquire additional acreage for the Plant site, and any needed right-of-way for the wastewater trunk line; and, • Continue to coordinate between Sanger and Upper Trinity to maintain a state of readiness - - to enable a timely response when conditions change. Based on our notes, the above thoughts reflect the consensus of our recent meetings. If you have any suggestions about these strategies, please let me know. I look forward to periodic meetings to review the status of the project - - and to be sure that the project will be ready to go by the time of need. Thank you for your assistance and guidance in this important project. Please feel free to contact me or Jason Pierce, Manager of Contract Services, at 972-219-1228, should you have any questions or need additional information. Sincerely, Thomas E.

The committee, which was chaired by Rep. John Otto (R-Dayton), held numerous hearings during the summer of 2008. The report contains the -following recommendations of interest to cities. ® Consider abolishing the comptroller's property value study (PVS) in favor of a system whereby the state reviews the methods and procedures used by appraisal districts. The PVS exerts upward pressure on appraisals, according to the report, and no longer serves its intended purpose. ® Consider changing from annual to biennial property reappraisals. ® Provide more training and education for appraisal review board (ARB) members, and install a "taxpayer liaison" at each ARB. ® Consider regional ARBs, rather than having ARBs for each county. ® Simplify the effective tax rate and related budget procedures as follows: o "Publicize the effective tax rate as the rate that would raise the same amount of revenue as the prior year (excluding new property added to the tax roll)"; it and distribute them to members of the governing body and .Published by the Texas Municipal League 1821 Rutherford Lone, Suite 400, Austin, Texas 78154-5128 512.231-74001 fax 512-231.7490 www.tml.org o "Disclose the proposed rate and the percentage increase it represents from the previous rate"; "; o "State the amount of revenue the new rate would generate o "Taxing entities should also be required to disclose the previous two years fund balance and the projected fund balance at the end of the proposed budget cycle. Such disclosure would enable taxpayers' ability to discern increases in rates, revenues, and whether fund balances were being increased beyond current needs." ® Consider eliminating residence homesteads appraisals based on the "highest and best use" of the property. ® Consider raising the $1 million value cap on property eligible for binding arbitration of appraisals. ® Protect property owners who successfully challenge their appraisals from quick appraisal increases in following years. ® Consider electing some board members of the appraisal district. ® Reevaluate disaster reappraisal procedures. Although the report includes a discussion of lowering the current ten -percent appraisal cap, with arguments both for and against, there is no discussion or recommendations relating to property tax revenue caps. Instead, the report focuses on issues of transparency and simplicity with respect to the effective tax rate. 'The main point to be gleaned from the report is that it seems to recognize that the chief problems with property taxes are: (1) the immense pressure that the �ee'ssaheols Funding system places on the total property tax burden in Texas; and (2) p y perception of unfairness and lack of redress regarding their individual appraisals. Should city officials therefore be optimistic about the report? Maybe so. But within its recommendations is ample opportunity for bad legislation to emerge. Simplification of the effective rate, for example, can easily is filed to im lenient features of the report staff will closely monitor all legislation thatP 2 << I I I I 1, The House Committee on Land and Resource Management released its interim report last week. The 195-page document is very thorough, and provides an in-depth (if perhaps )ne-sided) analysis of the committee's interim charges. Four of the committee's seven charges are directed specifically at cities. Those charges examine the current state of laws relating to: (1) eminent domain; (2) annexation; (3) regulatory takings; and (4) extraterritorial authority. An additional charge relating to the authority of the state's General Land Office to purchase property in cities is included in the report, but simply concludes that the state should refrain from making such purchases unless "absolutely required. Observe and study ongoing litigation and actions by condemning authorities in light of the Kelo decision and make recommendations for changes in eminent domain law needed to protect private property rights. Specifically, examine the body of law used to determine the amount of compensation property owners receive when their land is condemned, in whole or part, and determine the appropriateness of this scheme as compared to others. The interim report recommends several changes to eminent domain laws: • The state should refrain from _statutorily or constitutionally defining "public use" unless a consensus can be reached on a definition that would avoid unintended consequences. Rather, the committee recommends limiting government's power to use eminent domain to condemn blighted or slum areas. (Note: legislators have already pre -filed bills that would provide a statutory or constitutional definition of "public use", including H.J.R. 14 (Corte), H.J.R. 31 (Anderson), and S.B. 219 (Nichols). In addition, lawmakers have filed bills that would limit municipal authority with regard to urban renewal projects, including H.B. 37 (Corte) and H.B. 417 (Callegari).) • The state's statutory provisions regarding the power of eminent domain and the condemnation process should be amended to require that a property owner be made economically whole by the condemning entity, meaning that the property owner should be fully compensated for each and every economic damage suffered as a result of the eminent domain action. The report recommends that compensation should include, for example, a new statutory standard to determine market value, damages related to diminishment of access, loss of visibility, and other damages that are not included under current law. In addition, the report recommends that the law should be amended to provide for reimbursement of many of a landowner's expenses related to contesting an eminent domain action. 3 (Note: legislators have already filed bills that would modify the way in which damages are calculated, including H.B. 359 (B. Brown) and H.B. 403 (Woolley).) • State law should be amended to ensure an appropriate balance between the interests of the state and those of individual property owners. (Note: H.B. 403 (Woolley) contains various provisions relating to this recommendation.) On the issue of eminent domain, the report uses words like "disingenuous" to describe city officials, makes patently incorrect statements about the actions of certain cities, and concludes that city officials must be "adequately restrained." Interim Charge Three -Annexation Research annexation practices in the state to determine whether municipalities are abiding by both the spirit and the letter of the state's annexation laws, thereby maintaining a proper balance between municipal governments and residents. The report recommends the following restrictions on annexation authority: • The full House of Representatives should be given the opportunity to fully debate and decide the question of whether or not municipalities should be required to acquire the approval of residents that it proposes to annex as a precondition of annexation. The following are statements from the report: "These countless [witnesses] passionately argue that on the most basic and fundamental level free people should be able to choose under which governmental authority they are subjected to, a choice that is denied to them when they are involuntarily made citizens of a municipality through unilateral annexation. These individuals have reminded the Committee that such is a basic tenet of all free societies. " "It should be noted that there is strong argument to be made that the legislature should amend state law to require voter approval prior to the annexation by any municipality of any new territory (with certain reasonable exceptions such as petition annexations) ... The Committee has heard from those who believe that such a requirement will not unduly hamper the ability of municipalities to annex adjacent territory, but will instead provide a more appropriate balance between the periodic need of municipalities to annex additional territory with the right of the people to choose under which government's jurisdiction they will submit themselves and their property to. " [sic] • State law should be amended to severely limit the types of .areas that need not be included in a municipality's annexation plan under Section 43.052(h) of the Texas Local Government Code. C! ® State law should be amended to ensure that aggrieved citizens have meaningful recourse when a municipality fails to comply with state law. Examine the effectiveness of the Private Real Property Rights Preservation Act (Chapter 2007, Government Code). The report recommends several changes to the Act, but the most detrimental is the following: ® The blanket exemption for municipalities from the provisions of Texas Private Real Property Rights Preservation Act found in Section 2007.003(b)(1), Texas Government Code, should be repealed. The report states the following. The Act creates a near blanket exemption for municipalities, the type of governmental entity that is responsible for perhaps the greatest number of complaints from property owners, most often regarding the effect that a municipal zoning has had on the value of their property. On this issue, the report concludes that "municipalities are most often responsible for enacting and enforcing those regulations that diminish the value of private property." The report also concludes that "the at times unrestrained actions of governmental bodies, especially mumcipalities...has led to a situation in which the rights of individual property owners have been undermined for what some might claim is the public good." Examine recent attempts by municipalities to exert regulatory authority beyond city limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction. Evaluate the current relationship between and possible conflicts related to regulatory authority expressly given to state agencies by the legislature and regulatory authority delegated to home rule municipalities. This charge apparently relates to recent attempts by a city to regulate air pollution outside of its city limits, in some cases within the limits of other cities. Rather than make any substantive recommendations on the charge, the report concluded that the legislature should continue to monitor the issue. 5 RIGH'., , 4. a ... , !,. .. ■ '` , , The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) often requires cities to participate in the costs of improvements to state highways. In 1991, one small Texas city entered into an agreement with TxDOT to do just that. The agreement called for the city to partially fund right-of-way acquisition for the widening of a major state highway. The city agreed that TxDOT would assume responsibility for acquiring the right -of --way, and that the city would contribute ten percent of the cost. The agreement estimated that the city's portion would be $18,000, and the city transferred that amount to the state. Later, the city transferred an additional $18,000 to cover cost overruns* demd In the fall of 2008 (over 17 years after the initial agreement), the city received a an letter from TxDOT. According to the letter, "auditing by this office [TxDOT] revealed additional funds are due." Imagine the city's surprise to see that TxDOT is demanding that an additional $496,000 be transferred to the state within 30 days. The city is currently deciding how to best deal with this unexpected demand for unbudgeted municipal funds to pay for a state highway project. TML is seeking information from any city that has received a similar request from TxDOT. If you haven't already done so, please contact Scott Houston, TML's director of legal services, at shoustongtml.2a if this has happened to your city. In the past, the Texas Municipal League legal staff has prepared an election calendar for general law cities. The calendar, which spelled out various deadlines for the May general election of city officers, appeared in each January issue of Texas Town & City magazine. Other groups annually prepare calendars as well. One of those groups is the Texas Municipal Clerks Association (TMCA). Because the TMCA publishes this outstanding calendar, the League will no longer prepare a separate calendar. The TMCA calendar is available online at http•//municlerks.unt.edu/-Ddf/electioncal2009.pdf. The League's legal staff remains available to answer election -related questions. C� COLLECTIONSTATE C14ANGES D .. PERMITTING FEES The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) is switching from an annual to a biennial collection cycle for mixed beverage permit fees. Because cities may collect similar fees in amounts up to half of the state fee, each city will need to determine whether to adopt the state's two-year collection cycle or remain on a one-year cycle. Here is the link to a useful memorandum on the topic prepared by TABC: =://www.tabc.state.tx.us/LicCom/TACIetter.htmw :.. ALL EMPLOYERS The $700 billion stimulus bill approved by Congress in October contains a provision called the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008. Although the measure does not require that mental health benefits be provided by an employer, it does provide that if an employer with 50 or more employees provides any mental health benefits, those benefits must be identical to the benefits provided for medical or "physical" health conditions. Under the new law, visits to a mental health professional would have to be covered in the same way and in the same amount as visits to a medical doctor. For example, deductibles, copayments, out-of-pocket expenses, frequency of treatments covered, number of visits allowed, and other similar limits would all have to be the same for mental coverage as they are for physical coverage. Congress has given insurers until January 1, 2010, to comply with the new requirements. This law could dramatically increase the cost of health care for both employers and employees who pay for dependent coverages. For more information on the effects of the Act, cities should contact their health benefits provider. Recently -filed lawsuits are challenging the validity of citations issued through the use of red light cameras. The road to the use of red light camera enforcement systems is long and storied. During the 2001 legislative session, legislation that would have amended state law to authorize 7 red light cameras and civil enforcement of violations failed to pass the Texas House on a tie vote. Some home rule cities, arguing that they didn't need state authority for the systems, proposed their own ordinances. The Texas attorney general subsequently issued Opinion No. JC460 (2002), which concluded that because the Transportation Code provides that the disregard of a traffic control signal is a criminal violation, and because a city is prohibited from enacting an ordinance that regulates the same conduct regulated by state law (i.e., the running of a red light), a city ordinance imposing a civil fine for the same conduct would be invalid. h 2003, the legislature once again considered legislation to authorize the systems. After a lengthy floor debate covering such issues as privacy and accuracy of the systems, the bill failed to pass. However, the legislature passed a different bill that arguably allowed for the use of the systems. Several cities used this new authority to implement their systems, and others began planning for implementation. In 2005, red light camera opponents filed bills to take away the authority granted to cities in 2003, but none passed. In 2006, the Texas attorney general's office concluded in opinion GA-0440 that the Texas Department of Transportation may allow cities to use red light cameras on state highway rights -of -way. The opinion bolstered the position of cities that were using or considering the use of the systems. Entering the 2007 session, most city officials believed that cities had the necessary authority to use the systems, but also realized that many legislators wished to repeal the authority. During that session, comprehensive red light photo enforcement legislation finally passed. The final bill (S.B. 1119) was a combination of three separate motives: (1) the desire of some legislators to clarify the legality of red light cameras; (2) the desire of other legislators to strictly regulate the installation and operation of red light cameras, if they were in fact to be statutorily authorized; and (3) the desire by most legislators that the state share in any proceeds generated by red light cameras. As passed, the bill did all three, and then some. Many hoped that the controversy had been put to rest, but it now appears that nothing could be further from the truth. 'Those who oppose the use of red light camera systems have found a novel argument as to why they are allegedly operating illegally in Texas. Various vendors contract with cities to operate the cities' systems. Most vendors are out -of --state companies that serve cities around the country. Recent lawsuits argue that the Texas law governing private investigators applies to the vendors that operate the systems. Specifically, the lawsuits claim that Section 1702.104(a)(2) of the Private Security Act, which states that a person acts as a private investigations company if the person engages in the business of securing "evidence for use before a court, board, officer, or investigating committee," requires a vendor that operates a camera system to obtain a license as a private investigator. The Private Security Bureau of the Texas Department of Public Safety (which oversees licensing) does not appear to agree with that interpretation because: (1) the city, rather than the vendor, actually secures the evidence (the photograph); (2) the Transportation Code expressly authorizes the use of the systems; and (3) the Private Security Act exempts photographs taken for criminal justice purposes on behalf of a governmental entity. In Amanda Ward v. ACS State and Local Solutions, Inc., Ward sued ACS (a vendor that contracted with the City of Dallas to run the city's system) based on collection attempts made by the company for her red light violation. Ward received her notice of violation from the City of Dallas. ACS, on behalf of the city, contacted Ward and notified her that she would be reported to a national credit agency if she did not pay the fine. Ward filed suit in state district court in Dallas, alleging various state law causes of action. She also sought $3 million in damages. After various procedural tactics were dealt with in both state and federal court, the court issued a partial summary judgment in favor of Ward, ordering that ACS should have been licensed as a private investigator under Texas law. On the heels of Ward's victory, two new cases have been filed in federal court against two different vendors. The plaintiffs in Steven Bell, Alexis and Jacqueline Monrreal, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated v. American Traffic Solutions, Inc., filed suit in Dallas. They claim that American Traffic Solutions failed to obtain the appropriate license as a private investigator in Texas. The plaintiffs received notices of red light violations from Irving and Arlington, respectively. Importantly, the pleadings in the case seek to certify a class action lawsuit on behalf of everyone who has ever received a notice of violation from those cities, and seeks actual damages in the amount of the tickets each plaintiff received, attorneys' fees, plus $3 million in punitive damages. The same attorney filed an essentially identical suit in federal court in Sherman, Steven Bell, EUS, Inc., and Mohammed Al Musa on behalf of others similarly situated v. Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc. That case involves notices of violation issued by Plano and Duncanville. MITTar The vendors have vowed to vigorously defend against the lawsuits. The Texas Red Light Camera Coalition is a group of cities that was formed in 2006 to prepare for the 2007 legislative session. The coalition is still active and will likely guide the response of affected cities. Meanwhile, a recent study conducted by the Texas Transportation Institute concluded that red light cameras at intersections may reduce traffic accidents by up to 30 percent. But some people just can't get past the idea of a private company assisting cities with G enforcement. Where most cities see the cameras as public safety tools, these people see them as "big brother" and oppose them for various reasons related to that characterization. The League will continue to monitor the lawsuits and coordinate with the coalition as needed. Cash -strapped state agencies may soon be looking to your city to pay more for state programs that the state does not fund with its own revenue. In anticipation of a projected revenue shortfall in the 2010-2011 bienniT um, the exas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) may seek to fund water program activities by restructuring Consolidated Water Quality (CWQ) fees and Public Health Service (PHS) fees. These two fees are the most broad -based, water -related fees at the agency and represent two of the top three revenue -generators at TCEQ. TCEQ plans to amend the CWQ and the PHS assessment by rule as early as February 2009. These fees can be revised without statutory change, but TCEQ may also seek legislation to raise the $75,000 statutory cap to either $200,000 or to remove the cap altogether. This could result in enormous fee increases for some cities as TCEQ seeks to support their current level of water program activities. TCEQ will no doubt ask the legislature to provide additional state general revenue for water programs, but if history is any indication it will ultimately fall on the shoulders of cities to fund these state activities. The Municipal Cost Index (MCI), developed exclusively by American City and County magazine, shows the effect of inflation on the cost of providing municipal services. The MCI is used to study price trends, help control price increases for commodities, make informed government contract decisions, and facilitate sound budget planning. The MCI determines the cost of inflation and the rising cost of doing business as a local government. According to American City and County magazine, the MCI for December 2008 was 210.6, down 1.9 percent from the previous month but a 5.6 percent increase over the previous year. The December 2007 MCI was 199.5. 10 L In this era of rapid inflation, the MCI increases at a faster rate than does the Consumer Price Index (CPI) because a city purchases great amounts of items that have pushed inflation in the past year: gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt, health insurance, and many more.
