New Initiatives Add Quality
to Storm Water Management
by John Promise
Director of Environmental Resources
North Central Texas Council of Governments
hree state and federal initiatives are
destined to change the face of public
works operations in Texas. Together,
they represent a fundamental shift during
the 1990s to managing both the quantity
and quality of storm water at the local
government level:
1. Expanded State Oversight: All cities
of 5,000 population and greater will have
to submit water pollution control and
abatement programs to the state for ap-
proval, including water run-off control.
2. New Federal Permits: All big cities,
and likely many others, will have to ob-
tain a federal permit from the U.S. Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency (EPA) to con-
trol storm water quality.
3. Money to Pay for It: All cities can now
establish drainage utility fees to pay for
these new requirements and meet ongo-
ing capital and maintenance needs.
Water Pollution Control
and Abatement Program
The Texas Water Code, Section 26.177,
already requires all cities of 5,000 and
more inhabitants to establish a water pol-
lution control and abatement program for
the city. The city is to employ qualified per-
sonnel and undertake five specific
services:
John Promise has been director of Envi-
ronmental Resources for NCTCOG for Il
years. He is also chairman of the Texas
Public Works Association Water Resources
Committee and the National Association
of Regional Councils Water Network.
1. Develop and maintain an inventory
of all significant waste discharges into or
adjacent to waters within the city.
2. Monitor all significant discharges.
3. Conduct periodic inspections to deter-
mine compliance with local and state
requirements, or to determine whether a
permit is needed.
4. Establish a procedure, in cooperation
with the state, to obtain compliance, in-
cluding legal enforcement proceedings.
5. Develop and execute reasonable and
realistic plans to control urban runoff and
storm sewer discharges.
Surveys by the North Central Texas
Council of Governments (NCTCOG) and
the state show various degrees of compli-
ance with these long-standing provisions.
Last summer the state legislature
strengthened state oversight of compliance
with the code when it adopted house bill
1546 which amends the water code by
requiring that cities submit their programs
to the Texas Water Commission (TWC) for
review and approval.
The TWC will soon begin developing
rules that will include criteria for the
establishment of local programs and state
approval. At a Texas Municipal League
briefing, a TWC staff representative sug-
gested the rules will be far-reaching. A new
TWC Nonpoint Source Advisory Commit-
tee, on which I serve, will assist the state
with development of these rules.
EPA Storm Water Permits
The Water Quality Act of 1987 requires
cities of 100,000 population and greater,
and industries, to obtain federal permits
for controlling the quality of storm water
discharges. Congress had the opportunity
to eliminate this provision entirely, or to
fashion a compromise between conflicting
interests. They chose to compromise by
delaying the compliance date of cities
under 100,000 population until after 1992.
The draft EPA rules would establish a
two phase application process, with the
first phase involving system inventories
and field screening for illicit connections.
Part 2 would include wet -weather monitor-
ing for toxics and pollu-tants, detailed plan-
ning and commitment to specific control
measures where problems are identified.
The Texas Public Works Association sub-
mitted a Position Statement to EPA regard-
ing the proposed rules.
Final rules are expected in the summer
of 1990, and Part 1 applications will be due
one year thereafter. The 15 largest cities
in Texas will be affected immediately, with
many other cities in their watersheds to
be drawn in as well. NCTCOG has adopted
a regional strategy for cooperative activities
among the affected cities in the Dallas/Fort
Worth region.
Creative Funding for
Storm Water Management
At the request of the Texas Municipal
League and others, the state legislature this
summer adopted House Bill 1567 which
clarifies the authority of, all cities to estab-
lish a municipal drainage utility system
within their boundaries.
After appropriate public hearing, a city
council can establish a public utility for
drainage purposes, establish an equitable
basis for assessing fees, and spend the
funds on ,the capital and maintenance
needs for storm water quantity and/or
quality purposes. The city may issue
drainage revenue bonds, bill drainage
charges with the water/sewer bills, provide
certain exemptions, and support a variety
of activities. Since the law prohibits the
"value" of a property as the basis of the
charges, it is legally not a "tax:' Several
Texas cities have already taken initial steps
to establish a drainage utility fee, a
2
Position Statement on Urban
Storm Water Management in Texas
Adopted by the Executive Committee of the
Texas Public Works Association, February 22, 1989
The Texas Public Works Association, which is the Texas Chapter of the
American Public Works Association, represents the public works interests
oI the more than 1,500 cities and counties in the state. In recognition
oI diminishing local revenues for city and county services, combined with
increasing state/federal regulation of water quality, the Texas Public Works
Association adopts this position statement on urban storm water manage-
ment in Texas.
■ Local governments must continue to play the leadership role
in the construction and maintenance of urban storm water infra•
structure. The sizing and placement of storm water facilities is closely
linked with site -specific topography and land use decisions made uni-
quely at the local level. Federal or state regulations which attempt to over-
ride or interfere with this authority should be opposed. For example, EPNs
proposal in its draft permit regulations to define a "major" storm sewer
outfall as a specific diameter (such as 36'1 would penalize local govern-
ments who have oversized their facilities to provide better than minimum
flood protection, or areas of the country like Texas which are subject to
flash flooding.
■ Local governments must recognize that proper urban storm
water management encompasses both the quantity and quality
of discharges. Traditionally urban facilities have been designed to pro-
tect public safety and welfare by managing the "quantity' of storm water.
In the Water Quality Act of 1987, Congress has determined that the manage-
ment of storm water "quality" is of such nationwide importance that a
federal permit program for larger cities should be implemented through
the EPA. While the Texas Municipal League and other local government
representatives vigorously protested this requirement, Congress never-
theless has mandated such a program. Similarly, all waters of the state
now have fishable/swimable quality standards.
■ Local governments should only be expected to implement
reasonable and realistic control measures to manage urban
storm water. Among its powers for water pollution abatement and con-
trol under current state law, cities of 5,000 population or greater can
develop "reasonable and realistic plans" to control storm water discharges
and urban runoff. local governments affected by the emerging EPA storm
water regulations must have a fair opportunity to make such determina-
tions without undue federal interference.
■ Local governments should place particular attention on im•
proper connections and illegal dumping to the storm sewer
systems. Detailed field screening and investigatory efforts by cities such
as Fort Worth have revealed that improper connections by industry, in-
terconnections with sanitary sewers, and illegal dumping to storm sewers
are a significant source of contamination, especially regarding toxic and
hazardous substances. The TPWA will work with state and federal agen-
cies and its membership to identify successful examples of local programs.
■ Cooperative efforts should be undertaken by the state and
Local governments to identify and evaluate best management
practices (BMPs). As part of its State Nonpoint Source Program, each
state is required to describe the process, including intergovernmental coor-
dination, for identifying BMPs to control nonpoint sources, including
urban storm water. Local governments need the help of the Texas Water
Commission and others to better understand the general applicability,
costs and effectiveness of a variety of structural and source controls. The
TPWA is participating in an APWA research project on storm water
maintenance, and will identify opportunities for cooperative efforts with
the state in BMP identification and evaluation.
■ Watersheds should be the preferred geography for conduc-
Ling storm water monitoring and management programs. The
purpose of any storm water quality regulations should be the maintenance
and improvement of receiving water quality, with proper consideration
of other known or suspected pollution sources. Local governments should
be encouraged to cooperate together on a watershed -by -watershed basis,
with the highest priority watersheds receiving the greatest regulatory
attention.
■ Local governments must have the flexibility, on a case•by-case
basis, to determine whether an industry should be regulated by
the local government or obtain a storm water discharge permit
directly from EPA. Pursuant to Texas law, any existing or potential signifi-
cant industrial discharger must be required to notify the local govern-
ment of discharges to either the local storm sewer system or waters within
its boundaries. Federal and state facilities should also be included. To in-
sure that dischargers do not seek to avoid local control that may be crucial
to rectifying a storm discharge problem, any state and federal regulations
must clearly preserve the perogatives of local governments.
■ Any federal: and state regulations must provide flexibility in
program scheduling and implementation. Any state or federal regula-
tions on storm water management will be extremely expensive for local
governments. Indeed, initial EPA estimates for local storm water permit-
ting are probably two to three times too low, and the costs of implemen-
tation are not even estimated. The anticipated costs for full permit com-
pliance should be realistically presented in any regulation. Local govern-
ments must have flexibility in scheduling and implementing programs.
For example, storm sewers could be inspected for improper connections
on a phased schedule during the initial five-year permit period, rather
than all together in the tight one-year application process.
■ Local governments must gain the ability under state law to
adequately finance urban storm water functions. It is unlikely that
cities in Texas, some of whom are laying off staff because of budget dif-
ficulties, can divert funds to perform the expanded storm water activities
that the new EPA regulations will require. The TPWA, which is a state
affiliate organization of the Texas Municipal League, supports their
legislative initiative which would allow local governments to undertake
storm water utility functions like water/wastewater with a separate fee
structure. TPWA also encourages federally -funded demonstration projects
by local governments to share knowledge and experiences.
■ Local governments must have the full time intended by Con*
gress to develop and submit their permit applications. EPA will
be a year beyond the Congressional deadline if they publish final permit
rules in February 1990, but EPA has stated that medium-sized cities will
still have to submit initial applications by November 1990. The final rules
need to establish a single schedule for medium and large cities that allows
at least a full year (preferably more) for the initial application as intended
by Congress. More time than a year will also be needed and should be
provided to complete the second part of the application.

I enjoyed my five years on the council
and six as mayor, but it's still nice to be
the former honor. The thing I miss the
least is the phone calls.
After I had been out of office about two
weeks, the calls died down. 1 said to my
secretary, "I guess this makes your job
easier?"
She said, "Yes, but not as interesting:'
I did receive a few former honor calls,

speeding and running a stop sign —they
were inconsistent acts. I did not think so
since it was possible to speed through a
stop sign, but I didn't argue with him. He
also said he had received a ticket for not
having a seat belt on but he had it on until
the cop walked up to the car. He said he
didn't know he had to leave it on until the
cop got to the car.
I listened to this and said, "That's all
very interesting, however, why are you
telling me this? I'm no longer the mayor:'
There was a long pause and then he
said, "Oh. I know that. I know that:'
I said, "Well, if you do, why are you tell-
ing me this?"
He said, "Well, hum, I just wanted to let
you know what a mess you left the police
department in:'
I thanked him for the compliment. Said
it was compliments like that that made the
job worthwhile and suggested that perhaps
the police did him a favor, since seat belt

or insurance, and that he really should call

still mayor hed have been ticketed for
speeding through a stop sign.
I had one late night former honor call.
I answered the phone and a voice said,
very forcefully, "This is Col. Smith calling:'
I waited, expecting him to say something
else, but he did not.
I said, "OK, this is Gary Halter. Now
what?"
He said, You're the Mayor aren't you?"
1 said, "No,"
He said, "Are you sure?"
I also had one interesting former honor
meeting with a citizen. I walked into the
high school gym to watch a game my son
was playing in and a woman seated in the
stands said, "Hi Mayor Braveneck,"
1 said, "No, my name is Halter, and I am
no longer mayor. Larry Ringer is mayor
now:'
She said, "Oh yeah, that's right. I'm
sorry you lost, but my husband and I both
voted for you:'
Since 1 had not run for mayor, this was
gratifying to know. Wrong on three counts,
but right on votes,

i
Here are some of my favorite honorable
calls.
1 have a pile of trash on my gas
I .. .
This man calls, says he has a pile of
trash on his gas meter. It caught on fire.
He managed to put it out, but he and his
wife were so upset that they could not
sleep for fear it would happen again, Said
the trash had been on the meter for
"weeks" and the city would not pick it up
after it calls:' Said he was calling
to "apply political pressure to get the pro-
blem solved:'
I asked the obvious question. "How did
a pile of trash get on your gas meter?"
He said he had put it there.
I said, "Let me suggest the following. I
will try and get the city to pick it up but,
in the mean time, since it is a busy time
of the year, why don't you move it to
her location?"
He said, (1 swear), "I can't do that. It will
kill the grass, and besides, my job is to put

it down. It's your job to pick it up. If the
city can't get it today, I expect you per*
sonally to get it — TODAY'
I told him that normally I did the trash
pick up in my spare time, but my pickup
was in the shop and it would be next week
before I could get it and asked, "is that
good enough?"
1 got stuck at the dump .. .
1 arrived at my university office early
one Monday morning and there was a
phone message. It read, "Call Mrs. Jones
in the President's Office Immediately:' I
rushed to my office, thinking an emergen-
cy had occurred. I dialed the number and
asked for Mrs. Jones.
When she answered she said, "Well, I
just thought I would tell you what a sorry
job the city does running its dump. After
waiting for weeks to get some trash pick-
ed up, I finally took it to the dump myself
on Saturday. Well, 1 got stuck and there
were no city employees there to help me
out. If it had not been for some people in
/0
the Fed Mart parking lot who saw me, I'd
stiIt be there"
1 told her that she had not gone to the
city landfill but an illegal dump that the
city had been trying to close. There were
even signs that said this. She was embar-
rassed.
Late night calls from the
pizza man .. .
•There was a local man who owned a
za place that was a big hangout for Aggies.
He closed at about 1 a.m. and got in the
habit of calling me at about 2 a.m. with
some minor complaint. He was mad at the
city for about a zillion things and always
had one inspector or another after him.
t think he felt that if he harassed me
enough the city would get off his case. This
was not a good assumption to make.
After the second late night call I made
sure that the city attended to his problem
the next day. I set my alarm for 5 a.m. and
called him, knowing he would be asleep.
He was. He cursed me and said disparag-
ing things about my parents. I said., "Gee,
l'm sorry, I thought you stayed up all night.
I would have called during the day but I
thought you would be asleep:'
I did not receive any more calls from
him late at night.
If you are the mayor, why did
you answer the phone? .. .
1 received a call at my home about 6:15
p.m. The conversation went something
like this.
"1 want to speak to the mayor:'
his is he.
his is who
"This is the mayor"
"lf this is the Mayor, why did you answer
the phone?"
"Because it was ringing:'
"Don't you have a secretary?"
"Yes, but you called my home and I
don't have a secretary at home:'
"Why are you at home?"
"Because its 6:15 p.m:'
"You answer your phone at home?"
"1 have been known to do that:'
"Are you sure this is the MayorT
"Yes:'
"1'm not so sure:'
"That's OK with me. I really don't have
any way to prove it. You will just have to
take my word for it. I really don't care.
"This is the mayor?"
"Yes. What do you need?"
The person then related some rambling
story about adult softball and the staff in
Central Park. He was surprised I did not
know the names of all the city employees
and said, "Bµt they work for you"
I told him I really could not follow what
he was trying to say. He said, "Well let me
try again. This time I'll use real small
words and maybe you can understand:'
I told him that it was not the size of the
words that was giving me trouble but the
logical order in which they were being
used.
At this point he decided it was not the
mayor but some wise guy.
I told him, "Fine, why don't you call city
hall tomorrow and report that someone is
pretending to be the mayor. Get me in
trouble:' I gave him the phone number.
He did call and report me. I was relieved.
But 1 don't want a swimming
pool in my front yard .. .
One of the best ever calls was from an
elderly woman and the conversation went
something like this.
"Is this Gary Halter?"
"Yes:'
Well, I am upset that you are against the
ward system:'
"Yes, I don't see any benefits:"
"Well, Mr. Smartie, let me tell you who
will benefit. We will. They get everything
and we never get anything. We have big-
ger yards on our side of town and will get
more council members than thev will"
"Who is they and who is we?"
"They are the people on the other side
of town. They get everything. We never get
anything,"
"O.K. Give me an example. What do
they get and what don't we get?"
She thought for a minute and said,
"They got a swimming pool and we don't:'
I said, "Fine, you are right, however, in
the same election (when we vote on the
wards) there is also money for a swim-
ming pool in Thomas Park. Vote and we
will have pool"
She said, "Where in Thomas Park?"
I said, "The exact location has not been
determined
She said, "Well, I live next to Thomas
Park and I don't want a swimming pool
in my front yard. That's another reason for
having the wards. To stop stuff like this
from happening:'
i
Many calls involve disputes between
neighbors. In College Station, we seemed
to have a kind of code of the cul-de•sac
in operation. If one neighbor sees another
neighbor doing something he doesn't like,
he calls the city and complains.
Best of all, call the mayor. Go right to
the top. Don't mess with lower,level of-
ficials who get paid. Call the mayor. Never
mind that what the neighbor is doing is
not a violation of any city ordinance.
For example, if someone installs a
satellite dish in their front yard, call and
complain. Tell the mayor that this "thing;'
offends your aesthetic preferences and
there should bean orumanceagainst them.
Progressive cities have such ordinances.
The most common code of the cul-de-
sac violations involved grass mowing (or
the lack there oQ, fence building and
drainage.
He who enjoys yard work is
easily amused .. .
Yard mowing is the most common.
Believe it or not, some people who move
to cul•de-sacs are not enthusiastic about
yard work. Some operate on the principle
that "he who enjoys yard work is easily
amused,"
An unkept yard will really upset a true
culdesacian. Not only is it unsightly, but
worst of all it can cause weeds to migrate
to neighboring yards and may even, as I
learned, cause a vector problem. Ticks,
as and other vectors can actually breed
in weeds.
They have a much harder time of it in
St. Augestine. Fire ant control is also an
essential on any good cul-de-sac. I found
out that driving fire ants to your neighbors
yard by stepping on the mounds each day
for a week is not an acceptable or respon-
sible practice.
Migrating fences .. .
If someone builds a fence, he always
builds it on his neighbor's property, or, as
1 suspect, fences actually migrate in the
middle of the night to the neighbor's
property.
One person called and said his neighbor
built the fence on the caller's property. He
asked him to move the fence.
His neighbor told him, "If that fence is
on your property, it must be your fence,
and I am not going to move something
that belongs to someone else and is on
someone else's property"
Callers often said they knew the fence
was on their property because the real
estate salesperson showed them the pro-
perty line when they bought the house
. 'And that's how 1 know:'
1f you suggest a survey they will tell you,
"Look, I'm not the one that's creating a
problem. My neighbor is and he is too
cheap to pay for a survey. If the city requir-
ed a permit, this type of thing would not
happen. Progressive cities require permits"
If you required a permit, you would get
phone calls that went like this: "1 went to
build a fence and my neighbor turned me
in to the city. They say I need a permit just
to build a simple fence. This sounds like
Russia. I feel we need to get the govern-
ment off the backs of the people. My God,
all this just for a simple fence. I know who
turned me in — my neighbor. He is nosy
and just wants to watch what we do in the
backyard. It's no wonder our taxes are so
high. It's stuff like this. Three people from
the city came out here. Two just stood
around. They say 1 need a survey — three
hundred dollars. Now I can't afford to build
the fence:'
It runs from high places to low
places .. .
The third most common complaint is
drainage of water. It seems that someone
is always doing something to divert water
onto someone else's yard. Part of this is
due to the fact that true culdesacians like
to do yard work. They buy several hun-
dred prerotted railroad ties and work for
weeks installing them in their yards.
Sometimes this results in water going into
their neighbors' yard, or so their neigh-
bors say.
!t is almost impossible to tell who is right
and who is wrong. The only thing that
couId be determined was the follow-
ing: a. There was a problem; b. It was
worse when it rained; c. It was less of a
problem when it did not rain.
The cause was quite another matter.
Sometimes the problem might actually
have been caused by the person complain
ing to the city. Self-inflicted as it were. This
did not matter. I found out that a rule
applies here. The first person who calls the
city is right — period. This is the "First
Person Who Calls is Right" rule of local
government.
Given this, 1 feel that most such
neighborhood disputes could best be soly-
ed with a good clean fist fight. Never mind
who called the city first. Get all concern-
ed parties together in the middle of the cul-
de sac turnaround and have the city
referee a fist fight. Knives would not be
permitted. The winner gets to have the
loser do whatever the winner decides, but
her party would be allowed to call the
city and complain for 10 years.

Other code violations .. .
While these are the most common code
oI the cul-de-sac violations, there are
others (not intended to be a complete list):
1. Drive your car on the grass.
2. Turn your garage into a family room. (I
think my next book will be titled "How
to Turn Your Family Room Into a Garage:')
3.Open a day care center for children in
your home.
4. Hold home church in your home for
three consecutive Sundays. "Young Life"
may also be a violation if repeated often.
5. Raise pit bull dogs. Keep them on large
chains tied to trees.
6. Keep a rooster as a 4-1-1 project. Train
him to crow at 4 a.m.
?. Park a boat in front of your house. Bet-
ter yet, park it on the turnaround on the
cul•de-sac.
8. Construct a fence that is not aestheti•
cally pleasing.
9. Invite 300 of your closest friends to a
party and fail to invite the neighbors.
10, Last, but not least, sell your home to
the parents of a freshman at Texas A&M,
who in turn will sublet it to an undeter-
mined number of other students —
preferably of mixed sexes.
If any citizen notes any of the above
violations, they should immediately con-
tact the mayor and turn the rascal in. Don't
accept flimsy excuses like, "Well, they are
not violating any ordinances" Remind the
mayor that you are 1) a taxpayer, 2) pay
their salary, 3) will sue, 4) will circulate a
recall petition, and 5) will vote against
them in the next election.

In addition to the phone calls, 1 also had
a lot of informal meetings. Sometimes
complete strangers, usually without intro-
ducing themselves, would corner me in
the grocery store and sometimes really
chew me out. At first this bothered me but,
after a while, I realized that people just
wanted to get something off their chest.
1 am sure that sometimes they went home
12
or to the office and told everyone; "I saw
that SOB and told him off:' Since they con-
trolled what both of us said, when they
related the conversation to others they
could even improve on what they said and
what 1 said.
Once 1 was cornered in the checkout
line by the president of a local concerned
citizens' group. He told me how few DWI
arrests College Station had in relation to
Bryan and how bad the police chief was
and why he should be fired. In a few days
I read about our meeting in the local
paper.
In the article were statistics regarding the
lower arrest rate for DWI in College Sta-
tion and how this president had met with
me and how 1 had promised to correct the
problem.
I wrote the president the following letter:
Dear Sir.•
Thank you for bringing these data to my
attention at our recent meeting. Apparently
they are part of a much larger problem.
During the same time period, Bryan had
two murders, CS had none. Bryan had
12 armed robberies, CS had two. Bryan
had 24 home burglaries, CS had 12, etc.
Rest assured that College Station will
work hard to achieve parity with Bryan
in all areas of crime in the months ahead.
Sincerely,
Gary Halter
P.S. /usually shop at Safeway about 5:30
each day. We con meet anytime you like.
For a period of time my daughter played
softball. When I attended her games I was
often approached by the president of the
association who had a bevy of complaints
about "what a poor job the city was doing
on maintenance of the fields:' The city
could never do enough, soon enough, or
do it right.
Once, during one of my daughter's
games, Mr. President stopped the game
and invited me to center field, where he
pointed to a fire ant bed. He said: "Do you
know what that is?"
"Yes. its a fire ant bed:'
"What if some innocent child gets bit?
Won't you feel bad?" (Please note, all
children are innocent. No one ever
defends the guilty children of the world.)
"Yes:'
"And what do you intend to do about
I looked at him, stomped the bed, and
started back to my seat.
He said, "That's about what I expected
from you:'
I said, "Look, we don't know what to do
about them. You obviously do. You must
be holding out on us. Come clean. How
do you kill fire ants?"
later he called me and invited me to at-
tend the awards ceremony because, "I
want you to explain to everyone why the
city has done such a lousy job of providing
fields for our girls:'
I told him I did not go, as the turkey,
to a turkey shoot.
He said, "Then you are not coming?"
I said, "No I'll be there, just not as the
turkey.
He still called on me. After a five-minute
speech on how bad the fields were, he
said, "Now, here is the mayor to explain
why:'
1 stood up and said, "I'm sorry, the
or could not make it. He stayed home.
There are only parents here tonight:'
Then there are formal meetings of the
council. In some respects 1 miss these, but
in most cases 1 don't. Some meetings were
the best show in town. I often felt that the
city should. sell concessions at the
meetings. I understand that the real money
in movie theaters is not in the admission
fees but in selling things at the concessions
stands. At $2 for a bag of popcorn I can
believe this.
One essential thing needed to survive
through all these meetings is a sense of
or. Service on the city council is not
for the humor impaired, 1 often attemp-
ted to inject humor and most times it
worked. Occasionally I made a few
enemies.
One occasion when I made an enemy
occurred when the president of a
homeowners association was speaking. He
introduced his vice presidents, street and
block chairmen.
When he finished I said, "you have
block chairmen?"
He said, matter-of-factly, "Why yes"
1 asked, "Do you also have flags and a
mascot?"
I was always amazed at the reaction of
council members to the public at meetings.
You never knew what they .were going
to do.
There are several types of behaviors
council members display at meetings. Most
are designed to impress the public or play
to the audience. Here are a few.
Mob leader .
Some council members operated on the
principal of "there goes a mob, I think 111
find out where it is going so 1 can lead it:'
In other words, grand standing and play-
ing the audience. Here are a few examples
with which you may be familiar.
1. "I have very high standards and can't
support this,"
2. "My phone has been ringing off the wall
all day. 1 can't support this"
3. "1 talked with a state official in Austin,
and they agreed with me:'
4. "1 have a mandate:'
I always enjoyed this. Especially if you
looked at their campaign literature. Most
ran on platforms that no one could
disagree with. For example: "Planned,
economical sound growth and revitali-
zation with order and environmental
quality;" "open government, providing
opportunities for and encouragement of
maximum citizen participation in public
decisions;" or long-range planning based
on neighborhood protection and concerns
for liability:'
I am not familiar with
protocol .. .
Sometimes, playing to the audience can
backfire. In one such case, an "out-of-town
greedy developer" (the worst kind) ob-
jected to the city development standards,
as developers will do. When he finished,
one council member, playing to the audi-
ence, really raked the developer over the
coals for about five minutes and conclud-
ed with the statement, "and if you don't
like our standards you can kiss our col-
lective asses;'
The developer, said, without hesitation,
"Sir, I will be happy to do that. However,
1 am not familiar with protocol. Do I begin
on the left- or the right-hand side?"
�ou,-]try sfier�er approach .. .
Some council members used the good
of country boy approach. They tell you
"now, I'm just a good of country boy and
you are goin' to hafta 'splain that to me:'
Once at a joint meeting with the Bryan
City Council, so many members on both
city councils claimed to be "good of coun-
try boys" that I suggested we start a 4-1-1
chapter. When people claim to be good of
country boys, watch out. It usually means
they are about to get you.
Let's study this some more —
th ? studious type .. .
Of course, another approach is to ask
for more study. This makes the council
member look like they are doing their job,
when they're unable to make a decision
or unwilling because of inadequate infor-
mation. In College Station this went over
real good, being a college town.
On other occasions, council members
attempted to display knowledge and just
plain blew it. Once the city was revising
its ordinance requiring landscaping of
parking lots in commercial area. The revis-
ed ordinance stated that all trees should
be at least two inch caliper trees;' mean-
ing a trunk size of two inches.
One council member said, "I am not
familiar with the caliper tree. Does it grow
well in this area and shouldn't they be big-
ger than two inches?"
1 also discovered that Parkinsion's
second law applies to council meetings.
"The amount of attention devoted to an
item is inversely related to its importance"
Enough said on that.

We naturally had a lot of concerned
citizens at our meetings. I am sure you do
as well. In all the years I was on the coun-
cil, not a single UNCONCERNED CITIZEN
ever spoke. The unconcerned are a very
under -represented lot by and large.
I have thought about going to a council
meeting and, after the concerned have
spoken, standing up to say,. "Council
members, I represent the thousands of
unconcerned citizens of our city whose
feelings, beliefs and unconcerns have been
too long neglected:'
Being a college town, we naturally have
a lot of professors who addressed the coun-
cil. Most were experts. We have the highest
per capita experts ratio of any city in Texas.
I was often amused and amazed at the
logic and tactics employed by these pro-
fessors. Many of them are word experts
in their fields. One could assume they
were schooled in the use of logic, reason,
and the scientific approach. This training
apparently does not translate into similar
behavior at council meetings.
14
A few deserved the Nobel Prize for
Quantum Leaps in Logic. One of the best
examples of this was a very distinguished
professor who objected to a church being
constructed across the street from his
home. He was especially upset about the
proposed parking lot directly across from
his home.
He said: "in my home town, where I
grew up, the city allowed a parking lot to
be built across the street from my parent's
home. Years later, when I returned for a
it, my old family home had been turn-
ed into a Chinese restaurant. If the city
allows this church parking lot across from
my present home, I certainly hope the
neighbors are ready for Chinese food:'
I always wanted to stop one of these pro-
fessors and say, "Excuse me professor, but
you have made a few errors in logic.
Universal propositions can only be partial-
ly converted. While Abraham Lincoln is
dead, not all dead people are Abraham
Lincoln:'
Of all the groups of people who spoke, the
most interesting were the so called
neighborhood groups. I call these people
the NIbIBYOCRATS or the Not In My Back
Yard crowd.
In fact, NIMBYocracy is actually the form
of government we have in this country. It's
not a democracy. For example, everyone
is in favor of cutting the Federal budget
so long as it's Not In My Back Yard. I per-
sonally want it cut, but not in higher
education and the same goes for the state
of Texas.
In College Station, the NIMBYs scream
about neighborhood protection. The coun-
cil was always destroying a neighborhood.
1 heard this so much that I once suggested
the city needed to classify neighborhoods
as "protected;' "endangered" and "des-
troyed" so newcomers would know where
to buy homes.
The NIMBYs did not think this was fun-
ny. NIMBYs are a humor -impaired lot.
It is amazing how so many neighbor-
hoods were destroyed over the years since
not a single candidate for city council has
ever run on a platform that did not call
for neighborhood protection. No one has
ever favored destruction of neighborhoods.
After watching these groups for several
years successfully bully the city council I
developed the following guide to suc-
cessful action as a NIMBY. Just follow these
easy steps.
I. Raise your level of indignation. Raise
your level of indignation to at least an 8
on a scale of 1 to 10.
2. Call a neighborhood meeting. A neigh-
borhood can be as large or as small as you
like. If a group on the next street ever
opposed you, say they are in another
neighborhood. Neighborhoods are like
amoeba. They can change size and shape
very easily.
3. 6Vhip those who attend the meeting into
o frenzie. It is important that everyone
leave the meeting with a high level of
indignation. Do not, repeat, do not let
logic, reason or facts stand in your way.
Pure, raw emotion should govern all
statements. if someone tries to inject even
a modicum of reason or logic into the
meeting - throw him or her out.
4. Elect Officers. This will give the impres-
sion that you are a large, well organized
group. Do not admit that only five people
attended the meeting.
5. Circulate a Petition. This will leave the
impression of community -wide support. If
the council goes against you, the press will
say the council did this terrible act, despite
a petition signed by 200 concerned citizens.
6. Telephone Council Members. Three calls
to the average council member will indi-
cate a ground swell of public support for
your cause, four — a crisis in democracy,
and five — doom.
7. Say you have hired an attorney. You
don't really have to do this.
8. Hold a Press Conference. Invite the
press. See if you can get the press to inter-
view you in Your Back (or Front) Yard.
Look worried and concerned. Have small
children in the background. Film at 6 or
11 will greatly aid your cause.
9. Attend the Council Meeting in Mass.
Arrive early and assemble as large a group
as possible. Kids count. Intimidate the
counci► with your size.
10. Rules /or, Addressing the Council.•
There are a few rules you should remem-
ber when addressing the council. Your pur-
pose is not to convince but to intimidate
and threaten the council members.
a. Say you are a concerned citizen, tax-
payer, voter, homeowner and PRESIDENT
OF the Concerned Citizens For .
b. Tell the council that you represent
thousands of other concerned citizens who
feel just like you.
c. Ask the Mayor to poll the audience and
see if they agree with you. (You know they
will.)
d. Begin by telling the council how terri-
ble it is that citizens have to come to coun•
cil meetings and fight things like this and
say - after all, what did we elect you for
anyway?
e. Then say something like this: "We need
to restore open and responsible govern-
ment to our city. The citizens have a right
to be heard. We need to return govern-
ment to the people. The Council needs to
seek input from concerned citizens - which
it has not been doing. Strong, responsible
leadership is lacking. We need to end
secrecy in government and make sure that
it is not responsive to special interest
groups. We need to restore a balance to
government, because special interest
groups have undermined its integrity:'
The advantage of saying all these tired
cliche phrases is that no one can disagree
with them and it will put the council on
the defensive even if they are not guilty,
and the press will quote you big time..
If your group opposed a development or
zoning decision say the following: "This
development violated the comprehensive
plan, is not well thought out; it will lead
to piece -meal, slipshod, scatter -shod, leap
frog strip development and end in costly
sprawl:'
Remember, the comprehensive plan is
like the Bible. It can be quoted to every-
one's advantage. No one will be able to
successfully contradict you on this
statement.
t. If the council votes against your group
make the following statements. "Council
members, you have not seen the last of
us:' "We will see you in court and at the
next election:' "It's time for a recall elec-
tion:' "We were not treated fairly:' "The
Council was biased from the start' "The
Council is not listening to the people'
'The Council has ignored the will of the
people:'
g. Call a press conference. Announce a
recall election has begun. Write nasty let-
ters to the editor. Run your own council
candidates.
By following these simple rules, you too
can become a successful NIMBY.
T 4 mewl 064A ... .
No discussion of city government would
be complete without some mention of the
press or news media. The reason it's called
a medium is because it's neither rare nor
well done. Although you should never
pick a fight with a man who buys ink by
the barrel, I sometimes did. Lyndon
Johnson once said, "If those of boys get
after you, there ain't nothing you can do
but act like a mule in a hail storm and
hunker down:'
Hunkering was not my style. It should
have been and my advice to you is to do
a little hunkering.
The problem with journalists is what I
call story line journalism. They already
have the story line written and reporting
or research is looking for fill. When they
ask you a question and it does not result
in the response they want, they will always
try and get you to agree with them by play-
ing "What if:' "What if' consists of sup.
plying a statement that you can't disagree
with. If you don't agree you look foolish.
If you do agree the story line is supplied.
For example, the reporter might say,
"Well yes, but Mayor, what if I could supply
information indicating there is corruption
in the police department, would you
investigate?"
If you say no, you look foolish. You can't
say, "Why no, I ran on a platform of
increasing corruption in the police depart.
ment. I see my program is working:' Ob.
viously you have to say "yes:' If you say
yes, the reporter will say you are about to
investigate the police department. The
story line is provided. Headlines will say,
"Mayor Plans Investigation of Police
Department:'
Reporters can always get someone to
disagree with you. They can quote you and
say: "The mayor said this DESPITE the
fact that Assistant Attorney General Bob
Smith said ..:'
If you refuse to return phone calls or to
comment they will say that you refused
to comment or did not return REPEATED
phone calls, making it look like you are
guilty as charged. For example, if the
reporter said he had evidence of corrup-
tion in the police department and you said,
"No Comment:' The reporter would then
say, "The Mayor refused to comment on
these charges:'
Reporters also like to play one council
member against another. This is called
"council members in conflict:' They can
create disagreement where none exists by
controlling what is said.
I have no advice to you on how to deal
with the press. No one can deal with peo-
ple who view their job as DEFENDERS OF
THE PUBLIC INTEREST. I once had a
reporter say, "Yes, but I represent the pea
plea' I said, "That's funny, I don't remem-
ber your name being on the ballot last
time. What office did you seek?"
Shark feeding is an essential part of
every public official's job. The sharks must
be fed. The best you can hope is that you
can avoid a feeding frenzie with you as the
food.

enjoy yours if you find humor in what hap

run the risk of becoming one of the
humor -impaired.
Here is my advice.
