Summary:

At a special meeting of the COSADC Board of Directors held January 14, 2013, it was suggested that perhaps the Board and staff could more efficiently obtain Council approval of items recommended to Council by the Board. The Board instructed staff to prepare an agenda item for joint meeting with Council to discuss and possibly obtain Council recommendations and / or approval of improving the process.

According to Texas Local Government Code Sec. 501.073. SUPERVISION BY AUTHORIZING UNIT. “(a) The corporation's authorizing unit will approve all programs and expenditures of a corporation and annually review any financial statements of the corporation.” Further, according to the Bylaws of the San Angelo Development Corporation, Article II, Section 4:

“E. Board’s Relationship with the City. In accordance with state law, the Board shall be responsible for the proper discharge of its duties assigned herein. The Board shall determine its policies and directives within the limitations of the duties herein imposed by applicable laws, the Articles, these Bylaws, contracts entered into with the City, and budget and fiduciary responsibilities. Such policies and directives are subject to approval by the City Council. Any request for services made to the departments of the City shall be made by the Board or its designee in writing to the City Manager. The City Manager may approve such request for assistance from the Board when he finds such requested services are available within the City and, if necessary, that the Board has agreed to reimburse the City for the cost of such services so provided.”

Also according to the Corporation Bylaws Article II Section 7.Expenditures Of Corporate Money:

“The monies of the Corporation, including sales and use taxes collected pursuant to the Act, the proceeds from the investment of funds of the Corporation, the

Page 3: January 22, 2013 Special Joint Agenda packet

proceeds from the sale of property, monies derived from the repayment of loans, rents received from the lease or use of property, the proceeds derived from the sale of bonds, and other proceeds may be expended by the Corporation for any of the purposes authorized by the Act and the Articles, subject to the following limitations:

1. Expenditures from the proceeds of bonds shall be identified and

described in the orders, resolutions, indentures, or other agreements submitted to and approved by the City Council.

2. Expenditures that may be made from a fund created from the proceeds

of bonds, and expenditures of monies derived from sources other than the proceeds of bonds may be used for the purposes of financing or otherwise providing one or more projects, as defined in the Act and the Articles. The specific expenditures shall be described in a resolution or order of the Board and shall be made only after the approval thereof by the City Council.

3. All other proposed expenditures shall be made in accordance with and

shall be set forth in the annual budget required by these bylaws or in contracts meeting the requirements of the Article.”

As an example of the process the COSADC Board is trying to improve, following is a summary of the approvals required for the Business Resource Center:

1. Approval of the building purchase by City 2. Approval of transfer of sales contract from City to COSADC 3. Approval of asbestos removal 4. Approval of Selection of Architect and contract authorization 5. Approval of Architect’s Design 6. Approval of RFB for construction contractor 7. Approval of Selection of low bidder and award of contract 8. Approval of CO #1 9. Approval of CO # 2 10. Approval of CO # 3 11. Approval of CO # 4

Possible process (for discussion purposes only)

1. Approval of purchase by City 2. Approval of transfer of sales contract from City to COSADC 3. Approval of Renovation / Conversion of building for use as a Business

Resource Center with a total budget of $1.5 Million to include advertising for and executing a contract with an Architect to design the conversion / renovation; issuing a request for bids based on the approved design; selecting a contractor and executing a construction contract in an amount not to exceed the budget of $1.5 Million including design and construction in accordance with all applicable purchasing and contracting guidelines, all documents to be approved by City Purchasing Department and Legal Department and authorizing City Manager and / or COSADC Board President to execute the contracts as appropriate.

In the above scenario the City Manager and / or Board President would be authorized to approve change orders up to the amount of the project budget. To increase beyond that would require Council approval.

Page 4: January 22, 2013 Special Joint Agenda packet

Financial Impact: None

Other Information/ Recommendation:

Board recommends directing staff including COSADC staff, Purchasing staff, Budget staff and Legal staff to research ways of modifying the process to help make the process more efficient while still complying with the requirements of state law and still providing Council the desired level of oversight as required by the Corporation By Laws.
