Session 1314, Minutes Page 10 August 23, 1982 BILLS FOR INTRODUCTION BILL NO. 7549 - GRANTING THE PARTIAL TAX RELIEF TO ANY TRANSFEREE OF REAL PROPERTY FROM THE UNIVERSITY CITY REDEVELOPMENT CORPORATION CONTAINING AN EMERGENCY CLAUSE. A bill was introduced by Councilmember Adams, entitled: "AN ORDINANCE GRANTING THE PARTIAL TAX RELIEF TO ANY TRANSFEREE OF REAL PROPERTY FROM THE UNIVERSITY CITY REDEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, CONTAINING AN EMERGENCY CLAUSE." The bill was assigned No. 7549 and given its first reading. V Mr. Ollendorff said this bill had to do with tax abatement such as that approved earlier for the two properties in the Parkview Gardens area which are being reha- bilitated. He said state laws required that property be transferred to the rede- velopment corporation and then transferred again to the party receiving the tax abatement. The bill, when passed, will be a general ordinance which will authorize such transfers in the future. Mr. Kay said the bill passed along the tax relief, allowing the transferee to take advantage of the tax relief aspect of the law si- multaneously with the granting of tax relief-by the Land Clearance for Redevelop- ment Authority (LCRA) with the advice and consent of the City -Council. By prepar- ing the bill in this way, it will not be necessary to prepare a bill for every property. There was brief discussion. Mr. Ollendorff said this bill would not af- fect the contingency attached to the motion made earlier concerning tax abatement on two apartment buildings being rehabilitated. Bill No. 7549 was given its second reading. Bill No. 7549 was given its third reading. Mr. Schoomer moved that this bill be adopted as an ordinance. Mr. Adams seconded the motion. Upon roll call, the following vote was recorded: AYES: Councilmembers Levy, Schoomer, Thompson, Lieberman, Adams, Metcalfe and Mayor Mooney. NAYS: None. Bill No. 7549 became Ordinance No. 5345. BILL NO. 7550 - PROVIDING FOR THE SUBMISSION TO THE VOTERS OF UNIVERSITY CITY THE SETTING OF REFUSE FEES SO AS TO INCREASE THOSE FEES, TO BE SUBMITTED TO ELECTORS AT THE GENERAL ELECTION NOVEMBER 2, 1982, CONTAINING AN EMERGENCY CLAUSE. Mr. Ollendorff stated that the budget called for $100,000 more in refuse collection fees than are currently available through the present rates. This ordinance would put new rates on the ballot which will collect the amount of money budgeted. The rates in the ordinance will be sufficient for the next two fiscal years, that is, the same rates would be in effect for the next two years, through fiscal 1984. Mayor Mooney added that even with the new rates, the City will still be subsidizing part of the cost. Mr. Ollendorff concurred, noting that funds would be taken from the General Fund to pay the difference. A bill was introduced by Councilmember Levy, entitled: "AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE SUBMISSION TO THE QUALIFIED VOTERS OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY CITY THE SETTING OF REFUSE FEES SO AS TO INCREASE SAID REFUSE FEES, THE SAME TO BE SUBMITTED TO SAID ELECTORS AT THE GENERAL ELECTION NOVEMBER 2, 1982, AND CONTAINING AN EMERGENCY CLAUSE."
