b. Citizen Presentations
The following individuals appeared before Council in opposition to Mayor and Council
Communication No. G -16921 and stated that gas drilling safety and air quality was a city -wide issue
and should be considered before allowing drilling anywhere in the City. They also expressed
dissatisfaction that this item was not delayed to the July 13, 2010, Council meeting, which was a night
meeting. They stated that the Council did not have the citizen's best interest in mind and discussed the
City's gas well drilling ordinance in great detail. They also referenced property at 2401 Handley
Ederville Road which bordered the proposed pad site and stated this was planned for residential
development and approval of this item would cause the developers to lose their investment because the
property would not be able to be developed as residential. They requested Chesapeake purchase the
property from the developers and convert it to park land after the drilling had ceased. They also
advised that the proposed pad site did not meet the requirements to be grandfathered and had not
received a permit from the Railroad Commission. They addressed safety and quality of life issues
associated with drilling and the close proximity to protected uses including a City park and stated the
Harmony Park Neighborhood Association was strongly opposed to the site. They referenced the gas
line explosion in Johnson County and stated that tragedy could have been much worse had it happened
in a high density residential area. They also advised that the new truck route that was proposed was
along a blind curve where accidents occurred on a regular basis and was dangerous and could not

accommodate the trucks traveling to and from the site. They also stated that many who had signed
leases with Chesapeake Energy felt they were deceived by both Chesapeake and Dale Resources and
were promised that this well would not be drilled at the proposed location. They advised that
Chesapeake did not care for the landscaping planted at their sites throughout the City and most of the
trees and bushes were dying. They requested the Council deny this request.

Ms. Diane Reid, 7258 Meadowlane Court
Council Member Burdette stated that he was disturbed by the citizens' comments that gas drilling
representatives were deceiving them and lying to them. He added the City had no way to prove if the
gas drilling companies were lying to citizens. He also stated the City had a drilling ordinance in place
to address a number of issues and that the ordinance had been amended at least twice. He further stated
that if a gas drilling company applied for a permit and had met all of the requirements, then the permit
would not come before Council. He added that many of the reasons stated by citizens regarding why
the well should not be drilled did not pertain to the issue on the agenda, which dealt with close
proximity to protected uses. He stated that over 80 percent of the affected properties were in support of
this waiver and added he would support the citizens leasing their minerals. He requested staff clarify
two (2) of the issues raised during the citizen comments: (1) was the waiver in compliance with the gas
well drilling ordinance and (2) how the site was grandfathered under the previous ordinance.
Ms. Susan Alanis, Director, Planning and Development Department, advised that Chesapeake did not
have a waiver from the Railroad Commission but they were allowed to go ahead with the review
process. She stated the Railroad Commission permit must be acquired before staff would issue the
permit. She also advised that on February 13, 2009, Chesapeake submitted a list of properties to be
grandfathered, within the 45 day period, and stated this property was in compliance.
Council Member Moss advised that he generally supported the Council Member whose district was
affected in these waiver requests, but he would not support this waiver request because of the close
proximity to residences, truck routes and traffic, visibility and inadequate sound mitigation.
Mayor Pro tem Scarth advised that he had worked for a number of months with both Chesapeake
Energy and the area neighborhood associations and various locations had been considered. He stated
many of the people who spoke in opposition did not live in this area and were opposed to all gas
drilling. He stated he would support this item because the majority of homeowners in the affected area
were in support of this drilling and should have the right to lease their minerals.
c. Council Action
Motion: Mayor Pro tem Scarth made a motion, seconded by Council Member Burdette, that the
public hearing be closed and Mayor and Council Communication No. G -16921 be
approved. The motion carried five (5) ayes to three (3) nays, with Council Members Moss,
Burns and Hicks casting the dissenting votes and one (1) abstention by Council Member
Jordan.

of property that was proposed for future incorporation into the Botanic Garden as a parking lot. He
added this property was prime commercial land and should be developed into an upscale development
which would produce sales tax. He questioned the constitutionality of acquiring this property and
advised his client would challenge such acquisition. He advised that his client had not been approached

Communication P -11144 and advised that they were attorneys with Perdue, Brackett, Flores, Utt &
Burns Law Firm, who submitted a proposal that was not accepted. They further advised that the firm
was locally owned, represented more than 2,400 taxing entities in Texas and was 35 percent owned by
minority and women partners. They stated that they had provided quality tax collection services to the
City from 1995 to 2005. They also stated that they would reduce its fees to 15 percent from the 20
percent currently charged to delinquent taxpayers which would provide a $1.8 million in savings.
They pointed out that this would lessen the burden on people who had been hit hard by the economic
recession but still wanted to pay their back taxes. They requested that Council deny this purchasing
contract on the basis that the accepted RFP did not clearly prove to be more beneficial to the City than
the RFP that they had submitted.
Ms. Elizabeth Partner, 307 West 7th Street #1225
Mr. Jim Whitton, 4215 Warnock Court
City Attorney Yett clarified that he stated in the Pre - Council meeting that both law firms were good
law firms, not equally qualified. He stated he would defer to the staff recommendation and advised that
the Law Department was represented on the selection committee.
Council Member Hicks advised that she had filed a Conflict of Interest Affidavit with the City
Secretary's Office and would abstain from voting on this item.
Council Member Burns requested staff explain how the 20 percent versus 15 percent fee was
considered in the RFP process.
Mr. Jack Dale, Purchasing Manager, Financial Management Services Department, advised that the
lower fees were considered but that the lower fee did not directly benefit the City monetarily. He
advised many factors were considered by the selection committee before the final decision was made.
Council Member Burns requested clarification from Staff if the parcel fees requirement to the City was
included the current contract and if the City would attempt to recoup those fees from the previous
contract.
Mr. Dale clarified that the parcel requirement fee was not included the current contract but was
included in the new contract. He advised that both firms offered to pay the parcel fee requirement in
the RFP. He also advised that the City would not recoup any fees from the previous contract.

Council Member Moss advised that he was not opposed to the law firm of Linebarger Goggan Blair &
Sampson, LLP. He stated he would not support this item because analysis and supporting
documentation was not provided to the Council for review prior to this vote and he felt he did not have
enough information.
Council Member Jordan requested clarification if the collection rate of the firms was taken into
consideration during the evaluation process.
Mr. Dale advised that the collection rate was one of the best performance indicators used in the
evaluation process.
Council Member Zimmerman stated he did not have the back up documentation related to the content
of the proposal to be able to make a decision and he needed more information, so he would not support
this item.
Council Member Espino stated the Council should rely on the due diligence of the professional staff to
evaluate proposals. He stated a qualified team was put together to conduct the evaluation and make
these decisions. He stated he would defer to the staff recommendation and support this item.
Council Member Zimmerman stated he was not questioning the decision of the staff. He advised that
he had questioned staff about previous unrelated proposals and after the staff had reviewed the
proposals, there was a cost savings. He reiterated that back up documentation should have been
provided and more information was needed prior to voting on the item.
Motion: Council Member Jordan made a motion, seconded by Council Member Espino, that Mayor
and Council Communication No. P -11144 be approved. The motion carried five (5) ayes to
three (3) nays, with Council Members Zimmerman, Moss and Burns casting the dissenting

Ms. Laura Reeves, 6115 Port Rush Drive, appeared before Council and spoke regarding the proposed
gas well near Westridge and Bryant Irvin. She stated that Chesapeake was providing inaccurate and
deceptive information to area residents regarding the gas well and waivers. She also advised that
Chesapeake promised the gas well would be drilled near the railroad, south of Vickery Boulevard. She
requested that Council review and verify all waivers that were received as some might not be
legitimate. She further stated that the property in question was surrounded by residences and the
proposed gas well would negatively impact their property values and the Ridglea Country Club. She
requested the Council deny any requests for drilling in the area.

Mr. Brandon Bennett, Director, Code Compliance Department, for his timeliness in resolving a code
violation that he reported. He displayed several photographs of code violations throughout the City
relative to bus stop signs, railroad crossing signs, and other City signs that were blocked by trees and
other foliage. He stated that when important signs were blocked it was dangerous to both drivers and
pedestrians and requested the foliage be trimmed immediately. He showed a card of the City's skyline
with burned out lights that outlined the buildings once again and suggested the City fix this problem
and provide a better marketing picture.
The following individuals appeared before Council relative to the construction currently underway in
Hyde Park on 9th Street. They advised that construction of the park would remove necessary parking

leaving no access to the businesses and would likely force tenants to relocate or go out of business.
Mr. Brian Perking, Sr., 3071 Wabash Avenue
Mr. Shayne Hamil, 907 Houston Street.
