PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMITTEE REPORT
on
!{ Municipal Waterworks System
Feasibility Study. !'
A meeting of the City Public Utilities Committee was held on
11July 21, 1972 , in the City Council Chambers . Present were Mr. Jack
�IRiner, Second Ward Councilman, Dick Nacy, Jr. , Fifth Ward Councilman
,; and Chairman of the Committee, Byron Kinder, attorney representing
;; Ranson & Co. , Inc. , of 206 Century Plaza Building, Wichita, Kansas , !
;Jack Ranson, and Bob Schwermann, both of Ranson & Co. , Inc. The
1; purpose of the meeting was to proceed with the Public Utilities
; Committee's investigation of the possibility of the city's I
acquiring a municipal water works system. I
Public
Utilities !' Ranson & Co. is a group of investment bankers . Their function;;
Committee ; is to assist cities for a fee to buy utilities . They are also in j
Report . . the bond brokerage business . They are the firm which underwrote
$1 ,250,000 worth of bonds for Public Water Supply District # 2 here`1
�jin Cole County. Since these were second lien bonds , the Water
; Supply District tried unsuccessfully to find financing. Finally,
1Ranson & Co. were called into the case and they succeeded in �!
1; obtaining the issuance of the bonds . They have had wide experience
M; in the field of acquiring of water works by cities . In addition to
laiding the cities in determining whether it wants to acquire the
; system, they can do the negotiating for the city, they can work outs
jthe bond sale, and handle the sale itself if the city wants that
Cdone. They can even provide management for the city when the city
;; determines to acquire the water works . H
While they do buy and sell municipal bonds , Ranson Co. 's
ii principal activity is working with municipalities in utility
, acquisitions , and in utility matters generally. They work in a
number of states , including Texas , Kansas , Missouri, Iowa, and
; Louisiana. They underwrote the Hermann, Missouri, and New Haven,
;;Missouri, gas systems . Also one in Montgomery City. They were then
iprimaryy investment bankers acting as financial advisers to the City ]
! of Wichita, Kansas , when Wichita acquired its water system in 1957. 1
' Thal was a $30 million acquisition. They were the financial '.
! advisers when Hutchinson, Kansas , a town of about 35,000, acquired
tits water system from a private company. They handled a number of I�
!) company acquisitions in Texas , handled the Fake Charles , Louisiana, !
�iacquisition for $90 million, and a large number of much smaller
communities , including Elkhart, Kansas , Leabo, Kansas , and others .
Capital City Water Company is owned ultimately by Internation-
al Utilities of Philadelphia. International Utilities is a holding )
company owning 100% of the stock of General Waterworks of Pine
Bluff, Arkansas, which in torn owns Capital City Water Co. Inter-
national owns water companies all over the country, including
California, Illinois, and owns sewer systems and other utilities
in many places.
Concerning the q uestibn of total price. It is difficult to
fix such a price. The filings of Capital City Water Co. at the
PSC show original cost of $4.5 million. Depreciation is about
$500,000. One way of appraising a utility is original cost less
depreciation. Replacement cost is another way. Inflation causes
replacement costs to be higher than original costs. Replacement
would probably be several million dollars more. Physical condition+
of the system is very important. This is where a consultant
engineer firm can be most helpful.
We think there is a fair chance of reaching agreement with
the company about the sale.
It was pointed out that the present system - Capital City WatEt
Co. - is blocked in and has gone as far as it is going to go. It
is blocked all the way around by public water supply systems. j
There is no way to hook up Capital City Water Co. to the water
districts , because the statutes under which the water districts
were created prohibits such hook-up. 'International 's last
financial report indicates they are in a divestiture situation, and'
they are more willing than most utilities to sell the system. In
their 1969 report, they make the statement that divestiture is one
of their policies.
Schwermann gave us a broad outline of what the city ought to
do at this point. 1. Hire Ranson & Co. They can help us evaluate )
lour financial position. They can also be of great assistance in
,helping us negotiate with the company. 2. Analyze the rate case
and see how slowly or quickly they may move and see what the chances I
are of their getting the rate increase) then meet with the company
and try to establish a price or price range. The city will have to !!,
decide through the Council what price it is willing to pay and whatIl
that price may be depends on what they are willing to sell for and ii
what we are willing to buy for. No other price is important, but
we must have either a price or a price range, and that can be got
Ithrough negotiation with the company. When that is gotten, then
!!Ranson & Co. can make a financial evaluation for the city, the ji
Iquestion being whether it would pay out for the city and generate ai"
reasonable return so we can up-grade the service to the city. It
( must also be determined whether the city can up-grade the system.

iAfter all this info nnation is procured, then Ranson & Co. can make ,Utilities
1the financial evaluation and the city can make its decision. committee
Report
Rans
on s fees are contingent. They don' t get paid unless we li
issue bonds and acquire the system.
After the first two preliminary steps have been taken, then
the city would need a consulting engineer. The engineering fee ii
would not be contingent and the city would have to decide how much
it wants to pay one. But the engineer can help in determining the
,1physical condition of the system. We need an independent analysis
of the water supply situation and we need an appraisal of the
11replacement costs today less their estimate of the depreciation
that has actually taken place. That would give us a basis on which !'
to decide about the price and whether or not we would want to go 11
ahead with the election.
After all the foregoing, then we would have the election, and
these are usually a big selling proposition. The bonds to be
iissued would be revenue bonds , not tax bonds .
Before the election) a purchase contract must be entered by
the city and the water company, and after that and the election,
the only thing to (to is to issue the bonds .
In approaching the election it is best to get a committee
composed of people who are not councilmen but who represent many
idiverse groups , such as labor, finance, businessmen, etc. , who can
review all the information collected for the purpose of helping
with the campaign to vote municipal ownership.
Getting back to the question of overall price, Ranson has
analyzed the water company's PSC filing and their operating costs
look high. The figure is about $4 per meter, and that looks high
compared with the running of other systems . Assuming those same
operating costs if the city ran the system, however, there would be
distinct savings . There would be no federal income taxes paid by
the city. Depreciation is a cash flow item which would be availabli
for debt service to pay off principal and interest. Interest they
pay on their securities would become an income item. All in all,
the city would have about $325,000 available for debt service.
This could support a bond issue in the $4 to $4k million range. If
they get their rate increase, the $325,000 figure will go up. The
present gross is about $800,000. Thus , a 10% rate increase would
gross an additional $80,000. That would represent about a 30%
increase in net.
The water company has about 8300 connections .
Elevated storage. There is no elevated storage in Capital
Water Co. 's system other than that on West Main. Water movement is
accomplished electrically, for the most part, and if there is a
power failure there simply is no way the water can be required to 11
move, This becomes important during fires , tornadoes and the like. !1
On the other hand, if the Water Co. were owned by the city, the it
city can hook u to Water Districts 1 and 2, and those two
Districts each gave elevated storage facilities . District # 2 is
presently building a 10500,000 gallon elevated storage tank. In 1!
addition, there is already storage for 700,000 gallons in the two
4
idistricts at present. The Water Company is going to have to build
soon an elevated storage facility of unspecified gallonage, and I!
1;this will cost $300,000 to $400,000. The site will be where Ellis
;Boulevard intersects Highway 54 South.
The bonds to be issued would be water revenue bonds payable N
'out of the net revenue of the waterworks system. If the operation I;!
lof the system produced enough revenue and the price of the system 1!
11were right, we would probably get an A rating on the bonds, which
(;would carry 5 3/4 % interest. The interest might be slightly hxigber,
I f
Jf figured a year from now, the time it would take to get the i
1purchase arranged. These would probably be 25 to 30 year bonds .
It would probably be best to issue the bonds on a sealed bid sale
Hbasis . Whoever buys them then turns around and re-offers them for
Public 1,1sale to the public.
Utilities
Committee J Employees . After purchase of a private water company by the
Report !city, the employees normally prefer to go to work for the city-ownMe
1;company. It is also probable that the city would have to set up a
I
i';water commission or utility board. This would be directly under
the City Council.
Rates. Because of the tax advantages, depreciation and
11interest, the city can probably charge lower rates than the
;privately owned company. Furthermore, when it becomes a municipanJ
owned water system, federal programs become available which are noti
available to private companies. But such grants are not available i 1
for the original purchase. After the city owns the system, these fl
1programs are available for i6provement , expansion, towers and the
Ilike. These grants also assist in keeping the water rate down.
li grants are not, however, available for initial feasibility
Istudy,
Cost of study. The initial feasibility study, if made by
'! Ranson & Co. , would not cost the city anything. Ranson & Co. wouldl
1, provide a financial feasibility study and a preliminary engineering(i
iistudy, all on a contingent fee basis , at no cost to the city. If
; the city is definitely interested following these studies , it would
'� bc up to the city to hire an engineering firm to do a detailed
i, study of the system.
If an election, the issue would be whether or not to issue the!!
{ revenue bonds for the purpose of purchasing the Capital City Water 11
ifCompany. It is not a condemnation proceeding. It s the same
'Iprocedure. followed when the revenue bonds were voted to build the
1; Cheesebrough-Pond building. The vote takes a two-thirds majority
Itin order to win. The agreement to buy, however, has already been ii
worked out with the water company prior to the election, and is
contingent upon approval by the voters . You don' t even call an
election, however, unless you know what your purchase price is
going to be.
Ranson & Co. would present a written proposal to the full
Council, then Ranson & Co. would do some work with the utility,
following which Ranson could give the city a financial analysis
1based on the rates the company ends up with, and based on what
1price they would sell for. This would be presented to the Council,
iwhich would then make the decision as to whether they want to go +!
ahead with further study. Then the engineer would have to be
picked for the detail study. it
The fee which Ranson would charge would be between two and
three percent of the amount of the bond issue, out of which they
would pay their bond attorney, and such other expenses as they
would have. The contingency would be the approval at the election
by the voters . It would not include the engineering cost, cost of
the election, nor advertising.
The success of the election has to depend on others than
Ranson & Co. This means the local people. Ranson's roll in the
election is to help present things to the people.
About $50,000 is the amount of federal taxes involved with
this water company. Another $120,000 is listed under the heading
of Other Taxes .

Councilman Nacy, Chairman of the Committee of the Whole, presented
the following report:
A meeting of the Committee of the Whole of the City of
Jefferson was held in the City Council Chambers at 7:30 P.M. , July
31, 1972. Present were Councilmen Hager, Gordon, Seaman, Strong,
Riner, Nacy, Ortmeyer, Borgmeyer and Scrivner. Also present were
Mayor Christy and Ted Herron, Executive Director of the Housing
Authority.
Regular...Council. Meeting. August 7.,. 1972,_ ._ .. 50
The purpose of the meeting was to consider purchase by the
city of certain real estate located between East McCarty Street and
the Expressway and Jackson Street and Monroe Street for future city
purposes .
During the course of the meeting, and the discussion held, it
was brought out that in 1968 the city and the Housing Authority
entered into an agreement under which the land in question was!
designated for public use, and the School Board was given the first
right to purchase the land for the use of the schools . Shortly
thereafter, the School Board wrote a letter of intent to the Housing
Authority which stated that it wanted the land for School Board use.:
!There has not, however, been any further action on the part of the !
. School Board, since the letter of intent, for the purpose of taking
the steps necessary to acquire the property.
The School Board, however, is not a party to the contract
�)
between the City and the Housing Authority. It follows that if the ��
City wishes to purchase the land in question it may, by proper pro- 1
Icedures , alter the contract as to the public use to which the
property would be put, and redesignate it as property for city use.
In the opinion of Mr. Herron, such a change in public use is not a
major change, but a minor change only because the purpose of use is
still a public purpose. Such a change would, among other require-
ments , involve a public hearing.
Committee
of the All Councilmen were furnished with two maps of the land area
Whole involved. Map No. 1 outlined in red those portions of blocks 44,
Report 45 and 63 which were principally discussed during the course of !
this meeting. Map No. 2 outlined in orange those portions of the
same blocks which the Housing Authority recommends as an alternate f
to the areas shown on Map No. 1.
The land involving School Board use is the dark shaded area of
Blocks 44 and 63. Mr. Herron reviewed the work which the Housing
Authority is accomplishing on these shaded areas , includin g some
$200,000 spent on relocating the creek. Valuation of the land for 11
purposes of purchase by either the School District or the City is
+presently fixed at $80,000 (41� per square foot) , and it was made
clear that such price is only a fraction (probably 25%) of actual i
market value, available for public use only because HUD is furnish- ,
ing 3/4 of the funds in acquiring said property.
The total pprice for all the property shaded in red on Map No. 1
is $153 000. Ttiis price does not include the northwest corner of
block 4�, since the City presently owns that and maintains the
police station there. It does , however, include the Pelster
property, located on the northeast corner of block 45, which is now
for sale. Mr. Herron urges the City to purchase this property
before it may be sold to speculators . He also urges the City to i
purchase the two apartments immediately to the west of the Pelster
property.
Mr. Herron also outlined the boundary of the proposal for a
civic center as submitted by the Bartholomew Report. This would
include the west half of the north half of block 44, the north half
' of block 45, and the south half of block 46, with an overpass
extending across East McCarty Street and connecting the land in
. Block 45 and 36.
There was further discussion of the purposes to which the land
in question might be put by the City if owned by the City. No
definite conclusions were reached in this regard, but the Committee
was of the opinion that if this property were to be purchased for
the future, the time to purchase is probably now, because of the
great value to be acquired for such a low purchase price.
A motion was made by Councilman Scrivner that the School Board
be notified that the City is considering changing the designated
use of the land in question in the plan agreement the City has with
HUD and advising the School Board that the City would like to meet
witA the School Board to discuss such change in plan. Upon further
discussion of the motion, and upon vote thereon, the motion was
unanimously passed.

The following report of the Parking Authority was presented to the
Council for approval:
The Parking Authority met on Thursday, July 27th, 7:45 A.M. , with ii
the following members not present: Mike Riley, Ralph Hammond, who ( Parking
was excused, and Ed Rackers , who was out of the City. ;Authority
;,Report
1. The Authority requests approval to install 260 Duncan meters ,
such meters to be used as replacements for the present meters j
on Jefferson, Madison and Monroe Streets , and for Parking Lot h
No. 8, which is located in the 100 block of East High Street.
The Authority, by the same token, recommends that Duncan meters ;:
be used throughout the City under an extension of the original '
contract previously approved by- the City Council, and under the!;
same terms and conditions as noted in the original contract. Ij
This recommendation is being made after reviewing reports from
Dallas , Texas , and Memphis , Tennessee, which were quite compre-i
hensive insofar as those cities were concerned and the use of i
the Duncan meters . The meter officers of the Parking Authority!
testified at the meeting that the Duncan meters on High Street
have caused no maintenance problems and for this reason the !
Authority recommends the continuation of that particular meter. +;
This motion was made by Robert Schulte and seconded by John Hahro
2. In connection with the 1972-1973 Budget of the Parking Authority,;;
the Chairman will have a meeting with Jim 14nmacher and Jim
Hartley to discuss and make recommendations to the City Council
on behalf of the Authority on salaries for the employees of the'i,
Authority for consideration by the City Council.
3. Mr. John Mahn recommended to the Authority that steps be
constructed leading from Lot No. 8 into Jefferson Street, for
the convenience of the public , and that the Public Works
Department be requested to draw up specifications for a six j
foot wide step with a railing in the center of the stairwell. �!
This motion was approved by the Authority.
Ij
4. Robert Schulte moved that the Parking Authority resubmit for if
consideration the previous recommendation of the Parking I
Authority that the City enter into a contract with Sam Andersonj
for the purpose of cleaning all parking lots that are under the!
,jurisdiction of the ParkingAuthority. Mr. Strong seconded the
motion. Attached to this report is a copy of the On-and-Off
Street meter receipts and comparisons between 1970-1971-1972,
