CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE AN ELECTRICTY CONTRACT AGREEMENT FOR THE CITY. Person presenting this item: Troy Lestina, Director of Finance BRIEF: In August of 2015, City staff reviewed offerings from several energy advisory companies and “5” was selected due to offering far more service options to assist the City with various cost saving strategies. Prior to working with “5”, the City procured its electrical supply from TCAP. The contract with TCAP ended in December 2017.

*PUBLIC HEARING* AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE XV: LAND USAGE, CHAPTER 154: SUBDIVISIONS, BY ADDING SECTION 154.028: ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY, REPEALING SECTION 154.064: PERIMETER STREETS, AND AMENDING SECTION 154.089: IMPROVEMENTS TO EXISTING OFF-SITE STREETS; PROVIDING FOR ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY DETERMINATIONS FOR ALL PLAT AND DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS. Person presenting this item: Cheryl Taylor, Director of Engineering Services BRIEF: This ordinance makes several amendments to the subdivision ordinance (Chapter 154 of the Cleburne City Code). Specifically, the ordinance adds a new section 154.028 which creates a procedure for developers to appeal city-engineer determinations when they believe a development requirement amounts to an exaction-type taking. An exaction taking is a type of regulatory taking. An exaction is where a government conditions granting a permit, plat or other approval, on an exacting something from the approval-seeking landowner. Exactions are not limited to dedications of real property, and can occur when the property owner is forced to pay fees for future public improvements or spend money to improve existing public improvements. The ordinance addresses or avoids unconstitutional exactions in the context of requiring developers to construct or repair off-site streets as a condition of plat approval. All developers must provide access to the development, but must also evaluate the adequacy of existing roads. For developments of a certain size, the developer must submit a traffic impact analysis to help the city engineer evaluate the new development's impact on existing streets, and also provide the basis for the proportion to be applied to any street costs or dedications. Also, the ordinance deletes section 154.064 which had a less-flexible rule which required most perimeter streets surrounding a development to be improved, including installing curb and gutter, absent a waiver of the requirement by the city council. The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed and approved the proposed amendment
