Motion carried unanimously.
3. Conduct Public Hearing to Consider a Preliminary Plat on Waco Addition Lots 1-7
being 6.26 acres in the H. Tierwester Survey, Abstract 1241.
Glenn Shaw declared Public Hearing Opened.
Mr. Coleman addressed the Board concerning this plat. Mr. Coleman indicated the site
was extremely unusual since it had existing gravel road through the property. There
was not enough land to put a standard development. Mrs. Royal's intentions were to
distribute the property between members of her family.
Mr. Coleman addressed the following items that were indicated on the City's letter from
Travis Roberts.
Comments on the following items are listed below.
1. The plan as proposed contains 7 lots. Access to the lots is limited to designated
existing road and/or 30 foot wide Ingress/Egress Utility Easements. These
proposed access roads do provide a way for traffic to get to each lot. It is not
clear about the offsite access rights to the north road. If possible we would
suggest that a recorded easement or legal access rights be established and the
data shown on the future final plat of this project. Lot 2 does not have any
access.
They will use the existing road They have also provided on Lots 2 and 3 another
loop to allow access and not to rely on the offsite access. Mr. Coleman stated the
P&Z MINUTES

PAGE 2
lot indicates a 20 ft easement on Lot 4. Georgia has transferred the title to Lot 4
to her son, and he has built a house on it. It appears that the location of the
house and sewer line indicates the line is running underneath the house. Mr.
Coleman stated that he did not believe this to be the case since they tapped on to
the sewer line. Mn Coleman indicated he needed to go to the ground and locate
the sewer line.
2. The surveyor should provide the owner standard subdivision certificate to
clearly define and identify that access rights are provided to all lots shown on
the plat. We realize the proposed plat does not conform with standard
subdivision requirements for 5d foot ..:de r nght-of E;ray to all lots. Apparently
this is the best that can be expected due to the configuration of this property.
Mr. Coleman stated that they would provide standard subdivision certificates to
clearly define and identify that access rights were provided to all lots shown on the
plat. Mr. Coleman stated that the 30 foot ROW is not in conformance with the
subdivision requirements of 50 feet. This is why they will request a private
easement so it will not be city maintained but maintained by the owners themselves.
3. The City should not accept the road or Ingress/Egress for maintenance. These
are less than City Standards. Approval of the Final Plat should include a note
to be added which identifies that these are provided and no City maintenance
will be provided. Also the road area should be clear as to what Lot or
ownership will exist on the File Plat.
They are not asking the City to accept the road or Ingress/Egress for maintenance.
The final plat will include a note that this will be maintained by owners and that
no City maintenance will be required The road area will be clear as to what Lot
or ownership will exist on the final plat. Each Lot will get some portion of the
road: Mr. Coleman indicated there would be deed restrictions to reflect the
maintenance of the roads.
4. The normal City design requirements would require detail plans for water lines
and services, fire hydrants, sewer lines and services and drainage details.
Mr. Coleman advised they are not proposing to construct to City lines. They are
proposing to tie into existing City lines. On Lots 1, 2, and 3 they would be served
by a private lift station.
5. Lots 1 and 2 should include an established minimum finished floor elevation to
reduce the potential of flooding from the existing drainage. The existing
drainage easement or the new easement will require distance and bearings to be
shown on the Final Plat as to the specific location of the easement.
P & Z MINUTES
April 25, 1996

On Lots I and.2 they will indicate existing drainage easements on the Final Plat
as to the specific location of the easement.
6. Lot 4 indicates an existing sanitary sewer line passing under the existing House.
This line should be covered by a utility easement. This may not be possible due
to its current location. The surveyor indicated all sewer to each lot would be
private sewers not maintained by the City.
As soon as they tie the line it will be covered by a utility easement.

utility easement. At the current time, this Lot 2 does not have a way for access.
Already addressed on preliminary sketches and will be indicated on Final Plat.
8. The Final Plat must have bearing and distance on all lot lines so a surveyor can
locate the points in the field. The surveyor who prepared this plat will
understand this requirement.
The Final Plus will indicate bearing and distance on all lot lines so surveyor can
locate points in the field,
9. Is it the City intent to have the developer install water and sewer lines to each
lot? The state criteria is to separate water and sewer lines at least 9 feet and
they should be in an easement. Water meters should be set on each lot.
Mr. Coleman stated service lines are in the easements and they will provide
easements where a service line must cross another lot to obtain the main.
Access will be provided on paper and the lot owner will be responsible to pay fees
t0 tie on.
Discussed was the existing water lines. Mr. Coleman stated Lots 1, 2 and 3 will
access the new 8" water line from Railroad Avenue.
Lots 4 has existing water. Lots 5, 6, and 7 will use the 2 " line.
Glenn Shaw and Mike James stated they would like the Final Plat to indicate as many
lots serviced from the 8", possibly 1, 2, 3 and 5.
Glenn Shaw declared Public Hearing closed.

RE: Waco Addition

6.26 Acres, 7 Lots
Dear Mr. Keesler:
As requested we"have reviewed the above referenced plan_ prepared by Coleman &Associates
Surveying of Denton, Texas, Phone No. 817-5654215.
Our comments are as follows:
1. The plan as proposed contains 71ots. Access to the lots is limited to designated existing
road and/or 30 foot wide Ingress/Egress Utility Easements. These proposed access roads
do provide a way for traffic to get to each lot. It is not clear about the offsite access rights
to the north load. If poss;l:,le we would suggest that a recorded easement or legal access
rights be established and the data shown on the future final plat of this project. Lot 2 does
not have any access.
2. The surveyor should provide the owner standard subdivision certificate to clearly define
and identify that access rights are provided to all lots shown on the plat. We realize the
proposed plat does not conform with standard subdivision requirements for 50 foot wide
right -of --way to all lots. Apparently this is the best that can be expected due to the
.. -..... , . ,
configuratiofi'of this property.

than City Standards. Approval of the Final Plat should include a note to be added which
identifies that these are provided and no City maintenance will be provided. Also the road
area should be clear as to what Lot or ownership will exist on the File Plat.
4. The normal City design requirements would require detail plans for water lines and

5. Lots 1 and 2 should include an established minimum finished floor elevation to reduce the

specific location of the easement.
6. Lot 4 indicates an existing sanitary sewer line passing under the existing House. This line
should be covered by a utility easement. This may not be possible due to its current
location. The surveyor indicated all sewer to each lot would be private sewers not
maintained by the City.
,. 7. Lot No. 2 should be connected to Railroad Avenue by an Ingress/Egress and utility
easement. At the current time, this Lot 2 does not have a way for access.
8. The Final Plat must have bearing and distance on all lot lines so a surveyor can locate the
points in the field. The surveyor who prepared this plat will understand this requirement.
9. Is it the City intent to have the developer install water and sewer lines to each lot? The''�

This concludes our review of the existing data submitted.

RE: Preliminary Plat for Waco Addition;
Dear Mr. Keesler,
Georgia Royal, Owner.
These notes accompany a Preliminary Plat submitted this date, April 8, 1996.
Road: The existing gravel road, long inserving adjoining property
owners will be left as is. The owner is proposing a 30right-of-way with a
gravel road bed. A variance from City speculations is requested. Keeping
the road a private access easement to be maintained by the users is an
option.
Utilities: Water: Lots 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 will use the existing 2" waterline
for water service. Lots 1 & 2 will use the new 8" waterline in Railroad
Avenue through an Ingress/Egress/Utilities easement on the North side of Lot
2. Sewer: Lots 4 through 7 will gravity flow into the existing 811 sanitary
line. Lots 1, 21 & 3 will utilize a lift station and force main to access
the existing gravity sewer.
Drainage: Lots 6 & 7 gently drain to the North. Lots 1 through 5 drain to
the South. No development will encroach upon the existing drainage, leaving
these facilities undisturbed. Over 900 of the watershed is West of the
Railroad and controlled by the box culvert underneath the tracks and the
culverts underneath Railroad Avenue. There is an existing drainage easement
to the City of Sanger.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call us at 565-8215.
Thank you,
Georgia oyal,

Proposed Amendments To The 1996 Budget
J()U1 cN
� �.4
The District has ended the 1995 fiscal year $110,888 under budget. The
Tax Code requires that these funds be credited to the taxing

District's computer. Once your employees become aware of how to
navigate through our automated system, they should be able to quickly
and easily obtain information. Of course, this benefit to the
jurisdictions assumes that each jurisdiction has, or will have in the
near future, a personal computer with a modem. Since all offices are
advancing technologically, it is a safe bet that if your office does not
currently have a personal computer, it will have one in the near future.
RESERVE FOR LEGAL DEFENSE - This could very well be the most
important of the three budget amendment items. This is a very important
item to the jurisdictions and it is being proposed as a budget amendment
for the benefit of the jurisdictions.
Certain tax representatives and businesses have determined that the
n=iwhnrI used to appraise certain t_.vneR of inventory should be changed.
The intent being to have the inventory valued at little more than
salvage. These parties know that the District is appraising the
properties in question in an appropriate manner. The intent is simply
to drastically reduce the relevant businesses' tax burden. Obviously, a
Lawsuit(s) is the only means by which the parties can attempt to force a
change in our methodologies. We are currently vigorously defending our
appraised values in the lawsuits. However, the cost to litigate these
cases is expected to require more than the current legal budget of
$701000. This budget amendment request would increase our legal defense
funds by $56,888.
These cases have to be vigorously defended. If we give in, or if we
lose the fight, an additional tax burden will shift to other taxpayers,
such as home owners. The jurisdictions will then have to decide whether
to reduce their tax rolls or to increase the homeowners' taxes
significantly. The Denton Central Appraisal District is asking for your
support of this budget amendment to minimize the possibility that a
decision to increase a home owner's tax due to a reduction in a tax on
inventory will ever take place.
VOICE MAIL - We currently do not have a means by which to record
telephone messages. Often a superintendent, city manager, city
secretary or some other party wishes to leave a very specific message
for Joe Rogers, or some other District employee. The caller currently
has to rely on the message being relayed correctly. Voice mail should
enable the caller to leave the exact message needed.
Periodically, an employee will be late to work or will have to miss
work. We encourage the employees to advise of same by 8:00 A.M. each
morning. However, if another employee answers the telephone prior to
8:00 A.M. we are compelled per the Fair Labor Standards Act to consider
the employee answering the phone as being on the job. We have tried to
have the employees call in after 8:00 A.M. but this does not work well
because individuals external to the District tend to call after 8:00
A.M. This will eliminate this problem and minimize the possibility of a
personnel lawsuit based on a violation of the FLSA.
Memo,Taxing Jurisdictions, Budget Amendment,04/22/96 Page 3
If the Board does amend the 1996 Budget at the next regularly scheduled
Board Meeting, each jurisdiction's 1996 budget allocation will remain
the same as current. The only financial impact will be that the excess
1995 funds will be used for the purchases explained above.
Amending the 1996 Budget can be summarized as follows:
Step 1. The 1996 budgeted revenue from the jurisdictions is
$2,575,631.
Step 2. The 1996 Budget is being increased by $110,888.
Step 3. The jurisdictions are being credited for the excess revenues
that total $110,888.
Step 4. The jurisdictions' 1996 budget allocations will total
$2,575,631 which is the same as it originally was. See Step 1
above.
The following is a mathematical presentation of the Board's actions.
Original amount due to fund DCAD's 1996 Budget....... _ $2,575,631
ADD: Budget increase for the three items above....... _ $110,888
LESS: Credit for 1995 revenues in excess of expenses. _ <$110,888>
Amount due to fund DCAD's adjusted 1996 Budget....... _ $2,575,631
As the information above shows, the proposed budget amendment of
$110,888 to purchase the three items discussed will have a neutral
_. financial effect on the jurisdictions for fiscal year 1996. Each
jurisdiction's share of the 1996 Budget will not increase, nor will it
decrease. We would also remind the jurisdictions that if they disagree
with the amending of the 1996 Budget, they can veto the amendment after
the Board approves it, which is scheduled for May 23rd. Obviously, if
there is concern about the budget amendment, the Board would appreciate
being advised of those concerns prior to May 23rd.

SENATOR JERRY PATTERSON
SENATOR PEGGY ROSSON
SENATOR FLORENCE SHAPIRO
SENATOR JEFF WENTWORTH
SENATOR JOHN WHITMIRE
Late last year, I wrote to inform you of an undertaking by the Senate Intergovernmental Relations
Committee. Specifically, Lt. Governor Bob Bullock has asked the Committee to investigate and
report on the issues of consolidation of city and county services, and urban infrastructure.
The Committee has already received a good deal of input from city and county leaders on these
issues. However, I wanted to personally call on you once more for your assistance. I believe
our Committee cannot produce a useful report without you. Because these issues are important
to your community and because you are dealing with them at the local level, I wanted to
encourage you to relate your thoughts and experiences.
In particular, your answers to the following questions would be beneficial to us in developing
legislation for the next session:
1) What advantages or problems do you foresee if changes are made to permit the
consolidation of city and county services.
2) Are your city and county currently cooperating in the provision of services? If so, how?
3) What are your current and foreseeable priorities for urban infrastructure, recognizing the
deterioration in such areas and the shift of population and businesses to suburban areas?
4) How has local government addressed these priorities? How has the state helped local
government and how could the state help local govenunent be more effective in
addressing infrastructure needs?
5) What other observations or experiences do you feel are relevant to the Committee's work?
By sharing your ideas and concerns, the Committee hopes to develop clear policy objectives and
legislative proposals that will allow us to work together in addressing the challenges facing our
communities.

COURT OVERTURNS STATE LAW PROHIBITING
PRINTED MATERIALS FROM VOTING BOOTHS
A recent federal court ruling will allow Texas voters to consult voters' guides and other materials
while they mark their ballots. On November 27, 1995, a federal district court held that Section
63.011 of the Texas Election Code violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S.
Constitution. Section 63.011 provides that a voter, while marking a ballot, may not possess any
written materials that were prepared by someone else and that in any way indicate which
candidate or measure the voter should vote for. A violation is a Class C misdemeanor. The state
has decided not to appeal the decision.
The plaintiff, a registered voter in Harris County, was prevented from bringing a printed voter's
guide into the polling booth. He filed suit against the Texas Secretary of State, alleging that
Section 63.011 violated his rights of free speech, due process, and equal protection, infringing on
his ability to cast meaningful ballots.
In its findings of fact, the court noted that no person has ever been prosecuted under Section
63.011, and only Texas and Arkansas prohibit the possession of written materials while marking
a ballot. The court found that in the state's most populous counties, ballots routinely present
voters with 40 to 100 contested races. Voters may need written clues to help remind them how
they wish to vote when a ballot contains a number of names and propositions. However, the only
expressed exception in Section 63.011 is for a sample ballot marked only by the voter. The court
found that only a limited number of such sample ballots are printed and there is generally no
mechanism for distributing them to voters. The sample ballots printed by newspapers or political
parties are often tainted by political material. The court also noted that while the defendant
asserted that voters may use their own handwritten lists when voting, preparing such a list could
take a voter more than an hour. However, the court found that the plaintiff had failed to establish
that sample ballots are never available or that preparing handwritten materials is overly
burdensome.
The court then examined whether the defendant had legitimate governmental interests at stake.
The state argued that banning written materials was necessary to prevent voter fraud and
intimidation and to make the voting process more orderly by reducing the amount of time spent
by voters in marking their ballots (the state asserted that if voters were allowed to take written
materials into the voting booth, they would probably take more time consulting the materials and
marking their ballots). The court found that the state had a compelling interest in protecting the
integrity of its election process. However, the court ruled that Section 63.011 was not necessary

to promote the state's interest in protecting the integrity of the electoral process, noting that other
state election laws already prohibit the display and distribution of campaign materials in and
around the polls. Therefore, the court stated, even though voiding this section would allow
voters to take written materials into the voting booth, these voters still would be prohibited from
distributing or displaying such materials at the polling place. The court also challenged the
notion that allowing voters to possess written materials would increase voting times.
Considering the numerous candidates and issues that may be on a ballot, the court stated that
permitting voters to use written materials to help them organize their thoughts might actually
decrease the time needed to vote.

FEDERAL UPDATE
Here is the status of key municipal federal issues:
A. Current Year Budget -- the continuing inability of the President and the Congress to
reach agreement on funding for key municipal programs for the remainder of the current
year, and the unprecedented string of federal failures already, have left cities with little
sense of what funds will be available for current programs, much less for municipal
budgets for next year. The ongoing deadlock leaves the nation's cities without a federal
budget for 1996 with the year already more than half over. The deadlock has also spilled
over and guaranteed significant disruption for the 1997 federal budget (see below). With
Congress struggling to reach agreement on funding for nine federal agencies and their
programs for this year, Congress is already far behind on approving funding for the new
federal year, beginning on October 1. The deadlock also means continued deep cuts, in
addition to continued uncertainty, for priority municipal programs. Almost all the
programs have been subject to cuts averaging 20 percent below last year's levels pending
an agreement.
Be Next Year's Budget -- even as Congress and the President remain at odds over this year's
budget, House and Senate budget leaders are meeting to plan action on next year's federal
budget. The House Budget Committee hopes to begin action as early as April 29 on a
six -year plan similar to the version vetoed by the President last December. The Senate
Budget Committee plans to go to work the following week. Both committees hope to
secure action by the full House and Senate before Congress breaks for its Memorial Day
recess. The proposals to re -offer nearly the same budget proposal that was vetoed last
im any real hopes of a long-term, meaningful, deficit -reducing federal
year appears to d
budget prior to the November elections.
To finance proposed tax cuts and to pay for balancing the budget, the House intends to
propose unspecified cuts in priority municipal programs. The GOP plan promises cuts of
$168 billion in Medicare spending, $50 billion in welfare, $85 billion in Medicaid, and
$409 billion in discretionary savings. Because the House wants to increase discretionary
defense spending, cuts in domestic discretionary programs would actually be
considerably deeper. The Senate Budget Committee is planning slightly smaller cuts in
domestic discretionary and Medicaid funding, but similar savings for Medicare and
welfare. Neither committee has expressed any willingness to address the nation's largest
spending program, Social Security.
According to a 1995 Social Security trustees report, payroll taxes paid by employers
(including cities) and their employees will have to rise 50 to 80 percent over current
levels to support Social Security for tomorrow's workforce. The Concord Coalition
estimates that the rising costs of just three entitlement spending programs -- Social
Security, Medicare, and Medicaid -- will erase all growth in real, after-tax worker
incomes over the next forty-five years. Under a more likely scenario, NLC estimates a
catastrophic decline of 59 percent. The report further states that today, for the first time
in American history, large categories of newly retiring workers are due to get back less
than the market value of their prior contributions.
C. Satellite Preemption -- the National League of Cities, the National Association of
Telecommunications Officers and Advisors (NATOA) and 33 state municipal leagues
(including TML) filed a petition for reconsideration before the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) urging the agency to reconsider its final order preempting the ability
of local governments to regulate the zoning of satellite earth stations. The FCC final
order became effective April 17, 1996.
The petition argues that the final. order is contrary to the language and legislative history
of Section 207 of the Telecommunications Act and represents an unprecedented federal
intrusion into local authority in areas that are traditionally the province of local
governments and in which the federal government has little or no expertise.
More specifically, the petition argues that Section 207 merely directs the FCC to publish
regulations .prohibiting state and local laws that "impair" a viewer's ability to receive
Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) service. According to the legislative history of the 1996
Act, by "impair" Congress meant "prevent." Therefore, the final order ignores
Congressional intent by immediately invalidating all state and local "zoning, land use,
building or similar regulations" that in any way "affect" rather than "prevent" the use of
certain small satellite dishes.
Moreover, the petition argues that the final order intrudes on police powers generally
retained by local governments. Under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution,
Congress may utilize such police powers only to regulate an activity that "substantially
affects" interstate commerce. The final order exceeds the limits of the Commerce Clause
because it preempts all local zoning, land use, building, and similar regulations that
merely "affect" small satellite antennas, regardless of whether the regulations "impair"
DBS service or whether they "substantially affect" interstate commerce.
Finally, the petition argues that the record maintained by the FCC provides no
justification for the sweeping nature of the final order, and the order is therefore arbitrary
and capricious. The record reflects that in approximately 38,000 jurisdictions nationwide,
the DBS industry has enjoyed unprecedented rapid growth, and is rarely inhibited by
restrictive zoning regulations.
D. TV and Wireless Preemption -- similar to the FCC final order regulating placement of
DBS antennas, the FCC has just promulgated afar -reaching Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) that preempts most local government authority over placement of
Television Broadcast Antennas (TVBS) and Multichannel Multipoint Distribution
Services (MMDS) (also known as wireless cable) in order to implement Section 207 of
the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
Section 207 of the Telecommunications Act directs the FCC to publish regulations to
"prohibit restrictions that impair a viewer's ability to receive video programming services
through devices designed for over -the -air reception of television broadcast signals,
multichannel multipoint distribution service or direct broadcast satellite service."
In order to implement this section of the Act as it applies to TVBS and MMDS, the
FCC's NPRM states that "any state or local zoning, land -use, building or similar
regulation, that affects the installation, maintenance, or use of devices designed for over -
the -air reception of television broadcast signals or multichannel multipoint distribution
service shall be presumed unreasonable and is therefore preempted," unless the local
government can rebut preemption.
A local government may rebut a preemption upon a showing that the local regulation is
"necessary to accomplish a clearly defined health or safety objective that is stated in the
text of the regulation itself, and is no more burdensome to TVBS or MMDS users than is
necessary to achieve the health or safety objective." In other words, a local government
may be able to rebut a presumption on health and safety grounds, but cannot overcome a
r»rep,umptinn nn aesthetir. grmindc.
Any local authority that would like to maintain and enforce zoning regulations for any
other reason (e.g., aesthetic concerns) may apply to the FCC for a waiver to implement
local regulations over TVBS or MMDS upon a showing by the local government of
"local concerns of a highly specialized or unusual nature." An example could be the need
to protect the aesthetics of a historic district.
Comments on the TVBS and MMDS zoning preemption NPRM are due at the FCC
by May 6, 1996. Reply comments are due May 21, 1996. NLC will be filing
comments along with other groups representing local governments. NLC also urges
all cities to review the NPRM and consider filing comments before the FCC.

mvieming
new state
phone law_
BY BRUCE HIGHT APR ^? 3~SO
vnenAPft'�TiN AMEAI�AN STA'ESIIAN
A Texas congressional leader
suggested Friday that the Federal
Communications Commission is
reviewing a new state law that crit-
ics charge will delay competition
for local telephone service.
But the FCC is doing no such
thing, at least not yet, despite what
U.S. Rep. Jack Fields. R-Humble,
said Friday in a press conference.
He is chairman of the House sub-
committee on telecommunications
and finance.
If the FCC were to find that the
state law and the Public Utilitv
Commission had thrown up illegal
barriers to the developmept of
competition, the federal agency
could pre-empt the state restric-
tions under provisions of a new
federal telecommunications law
that Fields helped write.
641 can't say I know for certain,
but it's my understanding that our
state is one of those being strongly
looked at as a prospect for pre-
emp-tion," Fields said.
The reason. he said, apparently
had to do with a state requirement
that favors tofacilities•based to comw
petition. in which companies
build their own networks rather
than lease Southwestern Bell lines
for resale to their own customers.
Vew competitors favor resale, say-
ing that in the short run it is too
much expense to build new net.
Asked if he knew of a particular
FCC review. Fields said he could
not be certain but that "every-
thing that I've heard would lead
me to think we're one of the states
being looked at very actively."
Pat Wood, chairman of the Tex -
Public Utility Commission, met
Friday with FCC Chairman Reed
Hundt in Washington. Wood de -
[lined comment after the meeting.
But a PUC spokeswoman. Leslie
Kjellstrand, said the meeting was
a courtesy call and Hundt said
nothing about a special review of
the Texas law.
Regina Keeney. chief of the
FCC's commot* carrier bureau,
saiI the FCC had received peti•
tions to pre-empt state laws only
from Kansas and Connecticut, not
Texas. And, she said, the staff had
not initiated a review of the Texas
lacy.
We're ready to review any re-
quests for pre-emption. to Keeney
said. "%ve take them very_ seri-
ously."
Spokesmen for AT&T. which
has criticized the state restric-
tions, and Southwestern Bell Tele-
phone Co., which favors them.
also said they knew of no FCC
rev iew.
Last year the Texas Legislature
approved a bill to open local phone
service to competition. But the
new law required the three bigo
Best long•distance companies —
AT&T. MCI and Sprint — to build
their own networks to reach at
least 60 percent of their local cus-
tomers.
Southwestern Bell also has ar•
gued that the new state law barred
other companies that wanted to
rely on resale from using any of
their owTi equipment. But the PUC
has ruled in favor of the new com-
petitors on that issue.
AT&T has applied to the PUC
for a certificate that would allow it
to rely on resale. which South-
western Bell strongly opposes.
Vaughn Aldredge. an AT&T
spokesman, said the company
hopes the state will approve the
certificate. but he declined to say
whether' it would ask the FCC to
pre-empt the state law if the appli-
cation is denied.
The issue of whether the nee;
federal and state laws conflict has
been sufficiently vexing that Rob -
Gee, a member of the PUC, re-
cently suggested that the agency
consider going directly to a federal
court for a ruling as a way of
avoiding months or even years of
fights at regulatory agencies and
in the courts. The PUC staff is re-
viewing Gee's suggestion.
Fields spoke a[ a press confer
ence sponsored monthly by the
American Stock Exchange and
featuring major newsmakers. It
was conducted through telephone
conference call.
