JACK BROWN:

1982 TAX ROLLS:

Jack Brown of 619 Van Buren, expressed

his appreciation to the Board of Aldermen

for appointing such a dedicated group of

concerned citizens to the Board of

fortunate that he spent so much time in

getting the problem before the Board of

a series of serious loopholes and deficiecies

exist in the ordinances. He requested that

the Planning & Zoning Commission be directed

to look at these problems very carefully.

concern.

WHEREAS, on August 3, 1982, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City

of Oxford, Mississippi, unanimously adopted a resolution declaring its intention

to levy taxes in the amount of 1.25 Mills to assist in the operation of the Oxford-

District to pay its pro-rate share of the operation of the Oxford-Lafayette County

Vocational Center during the 1982-83 school session; and

WHEREAS, said resolution was passed as required by and pursuant to law, and

particularly Section 37-7-409 Mississippi Code of 1942, annotated, and amendments

thereof; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to said resolution, the City Clerk caused the same to be

published in its entirety in The Oxford Eagle, a newspaper published and of

general circulation in the City of Oxford, said resolution having been published

WHEREAS, the City Clerk reported that no protests or objections or petitions

Section 1: That the Mayor and Board of Aldermen hereby determine to levy

form and time as required by law, as provided in Section 37-7-409, Mississippi

collect taxes for the Oxford Municipal Separate School District, it is necessary

A Resolution authorizing and Directing the Mayor and City Clerk to convey that portion of South 6th Street lying between Lots 74 and 82 in Section 21 in the city of Oxford, Mississippi, to J.R. ADAMS and wife, EULELIA C. ADAMS.

Whereas the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Oxford, Mississippi, did on the 3rd day of July 1956 at their regular July meeting adopt a resolution directing the Mayor and City Clerk to convey to Willard F. Schiesz and wife, Nora Lee Scheis that part of an unopened street lying between Lots 73 and 74. This resolution appearg at Page 496 of Minute Book 16; and,

Whereas it now appears that the said Willard F. Schiesz and wife, Nora Lee Scheisz did not own that part of Lots 73 and 74 abutting on an unopened City Street but did in fact own that part of Lots 82 and 74 abutting upon South 16th Street (see deed to them from Ella K. Somerville, recorded in Book 156 at Page 68 and Book 158 at Page 240) and had in fact furnished one of the aldermen, Baxter Elliott, with a survey showing their pro-perty and the street requested to be deeded to them (which was that part of South 16th Street lying between said Lots 74 and 82; and,

Whereas it was the intent and purpose of the Mayor and Board to convey to Mr. and Mrs. Scheisz the street running through their property and not a street running through someone else's property and therefore the description in the deed to Mr. and Mrs. Scheisz was not correct; and,

Whereas Mr. and Mrs. Scheisz and subsequent grantees, thinking that the matter had been cleared up, did from that time on pay taxes on said property and did in sub-sequent deeds convey to subsequent grantees that part of 6th Street lying between Lots 82 and 74, the last such conveyance being a warranty deed from First Presbyterian Church, J.S. , Oxford, Mississippi, to J.R. ADAMS and wife, EULA LIE C. ADAMS, dated 17 September 1981 and recorded in Deed Book 353 at Page 396 of the records on file in the office of the Chancery Clerk of Lafayette County, Mississippi;

Now therefore, in consideration of the original Consideration, the payment of taxes on said property since 1957 and in order to convey to the present owner of Lots 74 and 82 abutting said unopened street the property intended to be conveyed in the resolution of July 3, 1957, the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to execute a proper quitclaim deed conveying to J.R. ADAMS and his wife, EULELIA C. ADAMS, that part of 6th Street lying between Lots 82 and 74 in Section 21 as shown upon the offi-cial cial map adopted by the City of Oxford, Mississippi, 6 June, 1939, a copy of which is is on file in the office of the City Clerk.

DRAINAGE PROBLEMS: The following letter from Mrs. W. J.

McPherson was read:

1809 Johnson Ave. Oxford, Miss. December 31, 1982

The Mayor and Board of Aldermen Oxford, Mississippi

Dear Members:

In August of 1960, I was the "proud" owner of Lot 40 in this City. Now I am not so proud.

For years now, since so much water has been forced into Burney Branch from the east and concrete laid on either side of me (by the city), my property has been steadily washed away. Only three (3) houses sit here so close to Burney Branch. Why protect the two on either side and not do the same for the third? I feel that I have definitely been discriminated against.

This last flood has been devastating! Trees have been undermined and are lying across the stream, blocking the flow of water. The fence was torn down by the falling trees and a gaping hole reached far back into the yard.

I have not has a survey made as of yet, but I do know that many, many feet of ground have already caved in the entire length of the lot and, if not soon halted, many more will go, which will threaten the house in which we live.

The time has come when I must have a definite commitment from you as to what your intentions are about this problem.

Sincerely,

/s/ Mrs. W. J. McPherson

Mrs. W. J. McPherson

Also the problems of Mrs. C. V. Bruce,Jr.

on Country Club Road were discussed.

Connie Lagrone, City Engineer stated that

he had been down and talked to Mrs. McPherson

on several occasions. It is a serious

problem but the city does not have any

easements on the channel.

He thinks that to control the water run-off

on Country Club Road that another dam needs

to be built if an easement can be secured from

the University on some of their property.

Mr. Lagrone is continuing to address these

problems in a drainage study he is currently

conducting.

Mr. Ralph Roy President, Board of Directors Northeast Mississippi Electric Power Assn. Abbeville, MS 38601

Dear Ralph:

Mayor Leslie and the Board of Aldermen of the City of Oxford have authorized me to make the following proposal to Northeast Mississippi Electric Power Association.

The City of Oxford proposes to pay Northeast Mississippi Electric Power Association the sum of $12,500.00 per year for a period of twenty (20) years in exchange for the right to provide electric service to that portion of Northeast's certificated area in Oxford, Mississippi, which was deeded to Oxford Mall Company by Davis L. Fair, Jr., and by Davis L. Fair, III, on May 3rd., 1982, by deed which is filed for record in Book 356 at page 106 of the Land Deed Records of Lafayette County, Mississippi, a copy of which is attached hereto. The first payment is to be made December 31, 1984, with subsequent payments made on the same date of each successive year for nineteen (19) successive years.

If your Board of Directors is unwilling to accept the offer of the City of Oxford to purchase your certificated area to serve the aforesaid property, the City offers to Northeast Mississippi Electric Power Association, the reverse of the proposition; that is, the City will sell to Northeast the right to provide electric service to the portion of the Oxford Mall property located in the City and not certificated to Northeast under the same terms and conditions.

As I am sure you are aware, the owners of the shopping center have expressed a strong desire to have the shopping center served by only one electricity supplier, and it is out of their insistance on this point that the above proposal has grown.

Please let us have a response on these proposals by January 28, 1983, so we can bring this to a conclusion.

Sincerely yours,

/s/ Duke Goza

AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY OF OXFORD, MISSISSIPPI OR LAFAYETTE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI, OR BOTH, TO ISSUE BONDS, NOTES OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH, ERECT, BUILD, CONSTRUCT, REMODEL, RENOVATE, ADD TO, EXTEND, EQUIP AND FURNISH HOSPITAL FACILITIES INCLUDING MAKING ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE EXISTING FACILITIES OF THE OXFORD LAFAYETTE COUNTY HOSPITAL, LOCATED IN THE CITY OF OXFORD, MISSISSIPPI; TO PROVIDE THAT SAID BONDS, NOTES OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE PAYABLE FROM HOSPITAL REVENUES; TO PROVIDE FOR THE SECURITY FOR SUCH BONDS, NOTES OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS; AND FOR RELATED PURPOSES.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI:

SECTION 1. It is hereby determined and declared that for

the benefit of the people of the City of Oxford, Mississippi

and the people of Lafayette County, Mississippi, and the sur-

rounding area, the increase of their commerce, welfare and

prosperity, and the improvement and maintenance of their health

and living conditions, it is essential that the people of said

area have access to adequate medical care and hospital facilities

and, to this end, it is essential that the City of Oxford,

Mississippi and Lafayette County, Mississippi, be provided with

appropriate additional means to assist in the improvement and

maintenance of public health. It is the purpose of this act to

provide a measure of assistance and an alternative method to

enable either the City of Oxford, Mississippi or Lafayette

County, Mississippi, or both, to issue bonds to provide the

facilities which are needed to accomplish the purposes of this

act, all for the public benefit and good, as more fully provided

herein. This act shall not suspend the operation of general

law and shall be liberally construed in conformity with the

intention expressed in this section.

SECTION 2. Whenever used in this act, unless a different

meaning clearly appears in the context, the following terms,

whether used in the singular or plural, shall be given the

following meanings:

(a) "Board of trustees" shall mean the board of

trustees of the Oxford Lafayette County Hospital at Oxford,

Mississippi, which is jointly owned and operated by the City

of Oxford and Lafayette County, Mississippi;


(b) "Bonds" shall mean those debt obligations of the

issuer issued under the provisions of this act, which debt

obligations may be issued as bonds, notes, certificates of

indebtedness or in such other form as may be determined by the

governing body which is not inconsistent with the provisions of

this act;

(c) "Governing body" shall mean the Mayor and Board

of Aldermen of the City of Oxford or the Board of Supervisors

of Lafayette County, Mississippi, or both of said bodies in the

event that both shall determine to issue bonds;

(d) "Hospital" shall mean the existing Oxford Lafayette

County Hospital and any structures, facilities, machinery,

equipment and other property suitable for use in connection

with the operation or proposed operations of such hospital,

radiology facility, or any combination of the foregoing;

(e) "Issuer" shall mean the City of Oxford, Missis-

sippi, or Lafayette County, Mississippi, or both, acting in

their respective capacities as the issuers of bonds pursuant to

this act.

SECTION 3. The issuer is hereby granted the following

powers, together with all powers incidental thereto or neces-

sary for the performance of those hereinafter stated, in order

to effectuate the purpose of this act:

(a) to issue bonds in an amount not to exceed Six

Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($6,750,000),

exclusive of bonds issued to provide for the refunding of

outstanding bonds, for the purpose of carrying out any of its

powers under this act;

2




(b) to establish, erect, build, construct, remodel,

renovate, add to, extend, equip and furnish hospital facilities,

including making additions and improvements to the existing

facilities of the hospital;

(c) as security for the payment of the principal of,

redemption premium, if any, and interest on any bonds so issued

and any agreements made in connection therewith, to pledge the

revenues and receipts derived from the operation of the hospital,

whether existing or to be constructed in accordance with the

provisions of this act.

SECTION 4. Prior to the issuance of any bonds, the governing

body shall adopt a resolution declaring its intention so to do,

stating the amount of bonds proposed to be issued, the purposes

for which the bonds are to be issued, and the date upon which

the governing body proposes to direct the issuance of such

bonds. Such resolution shall be published once a week for at

least three (3) consecutive weeks in at least one (1) newspaper

published in Lafayette County, Mississippi. The first publica-

tion of such resolution shall be made not less than twenty-one

(21) days prior to the date fixed in such resolution to direct

the issuance of the bonds, and the last publication shall be

made not more than seven (7) days prior to such date. If ten

percent (10%) of the qualified electors of the issuer, or

fifteen hundred (1500), whichever is the lesser, shall file a

written protest against the issuance of such bonds on or before

the date specified in such resolution, then an election on the

question of the issuance of such bonds shall be called and held

as herein provided. If no such protest be filed, then such

bonds may be issued without an election on the question of the

issuance thereof at any time within a period of two (2) years

after the date specified in the above-mentioned resolution;

provided, however, that the governing body, in its discretion,

may nevertheless call an election on such question, in which

3



event it shall not be necessary to publish the resolution

declaring its intention to issue bonds as herein provided.

SECTION 5. Where an election is to be called as provided

in Section 4 of this act, notice of such election shall be

signed by the Clerk of the issuer, and shall be published once

a week for at least three (3) consecutive weeks in at least one

(1) newspaper published in Lafayette County, Mississippi. The

first publication of such notice shall be made not less than

twenty-one (21) days prior to the date fixed for such election

and the last publication shall be made not more than seven (7)

days prior to such date.

SECTION 6. Such election shall be held, as far as is

practicable, in the same manner as other special elections are

held in the issuer. At such election, all qualified electors

of the issuer may vote, and the ballots used at such election

shall have printed thereon a brief statement of the amount and

purpose of the proposed bond issue and the words "FOR THE BOND

ISSUE" and "AGAINST THE BOND ISSUE," and the voter shall vote

by placing a cross mark (x) or a check mark (v) opposite his

choice on the proposition.

SECTION 7. When the results of the election on the question

of the issuance of such bonds shall have been canvassed by the

election commissioners of the issuer and certified by them to

the governing body; it shall be the duty of such governing body

to determine and adjudicate whether or not a majority of the

qualified electors who voted thereon in such election voted in

favor of the issuance of such bonds, and unless a majority of

the qualified electors who voted thereon in such election shall

have voted in favor of the issuance of such bonds, then such

bonds shall not be issued. Should a majority of the qualified

electors who voted thereon in such election vote in favor of

the issuance of such bonds, then the governing body may issue

such bonds, either in whole or in part, within two (2) years

after the date of the election or the date of the final

4



favorable termination of any litigation affecting the issuance

of such bonds.

SECTION 8. All bonds shall be limited obligations of the

issuer, the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and

interest on which shall be payable from and shall be secured by

a pledge of the revenues and receipts derived from the operation

of the hospital, which pledge may be subordinate to a prior

pledge of the revenues of the hospital securing obligations

outstanding at the time of the issuance of the bonds. Bonds

and interest coupons appurtenant thereto shall never constitute

an indebtedness of the issuer, or any subdivision thereof,

within the meaning of any state constitutional provision or

statutory limitation, and shall never constitute nor give rise

to a pecuniary liability of the issuer or any subdivision

thereof or a charge against its general credit or taxing powers,

and such fact shall be plainly stated on the face of each such

bond. The bonds shall not be considered when computing any

limitation of indebtedness of the issuer established by law.

All bonds and all interest coupons appurtenant thereto shall be

construed to be negotiable instruments, despite the fact that

they are payable solely from a specified source.

SECTION 9. Bonds may be executed and delivered by the

issuer at any time and from time to time, may be in such form

and denominations and of such terms and maturities, may be in

fully registered form or in bearer form registrable either as

to principal or interest or both, may bear such conversion

privileges and be payable in such installments and at such time

or times not exceeding forty (40) years from the date thereof,

may be payable at such place or places, whether within or

without the State of Mississippi, may bear an overall maximum

interest rate to maturity not to exceed fourteen percent (14%),

payable at such rate or rates, which rate or rates may be fixed

or variable, at such time or times and at such place or places,

and evidenced in such manner, and may contain such provisions

5



not inconsistent herewith, all as shall be provided in the

proceedings of the governing body whereunder the bonds shall be

authorized to be issued. If deemed advisable by the governing

body, there may be retained in the proceedings under which any

bonds are authorized to be issued an option to redeem all or

any part thereof as may be specified in such proceedings, at

such price or prices and after such notice or notices and on

such terms and conditions as may be set forth in such proceed-

ings and briefly recited or referred to on the face of the

bonds, but nothing herein contained shall be construed to

confer on the issuer any right or option to redeem any bonds,

except as may be provided in the proceedings under which they

shall be issued. Bonds may be sold at such price, at public or

private sale, in such manner and at such time as the issuer

shall determine. The issuer may pay all expenses, premiums and

commissions which the governing body may deem necessary or

advantageous in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.

The issuance by the issuer of one or more series of bonds shall

not preclude it from issuing other series of bonds, but the

proceedings whereunder any subsequent bonds may be issued shall

recognize and protect any prior pledge made for any prior issue

of bonds.

The proceeds of bonds may be used (a) to establish, erect,

build, construct, remodel, renovate, add to, extend, equip and

furnish hospital facilities, including making additions and

improvements to the existing facilities of the hospital, (b) to

pay interest on the bonds while such hospital is being estab-

lished, erected, built, constructed, remodeled, renovated,

added to, extended, equipped and furnished and for a maximum of

six (6) months after the estimated date of completion, (c) to

provide for the payment of or to make provision for payment of,

by the appropriate escrowing of monies or securities, the

principal of and interest on which when due will be adequate to

make such payment, any indebtedness encumbering the revenues of



the hospital, whether such payment is to be effected by redemp-

tion of such indebtedness prior to maturity or by payment at

maturity, (d) to pay engineering, fiscal, printing, accounting,

financial advisor, construction manager, feasibility consultant,

hospital consultant, architectural and legal expenses incurred

in connection with such hospital and the issuance of the bonds,

(e) to provide for the establishment of a reasonable reserve

fund for the payment of principal of and interest on the bonds

in the event of a deficiency in the revenues and receipts

available for such payments, (f) to pay the premium or premiums

on any insurance obtained from any source to assure the prompt

payment of principal and interest when due, and (g) to pay

start-up costs and costs of operation and maintenance of the

hospital while it is being established, erected, built,

constructed, remodeled, renovated, added to, extended, equipped

and furnished and for a maximum of twelve (12) months after the

estimated date of completion.

SECTION 10. (1) Any debt obligations of the issuer,

including bonds issued under this act and obligations issued

under Sections 41-13-15 through 41-13-51, Mississippi Code of

1972, issued to establish, erect, build, construct, remodel,

renovate, add to, extend, equip, furnish, operate and maintain

the hospital, at any time outstanding may, at any time and from

time to time, be refunded by the issuer by the issuance of its

refunding bonds in such amount as the governing body may deem

necessary, but not exceeding (a) the principal amount of the

obligations being refinanced, (b) applicable redemption premiums

thereon, (c) unpaid interest on such obligations to the date of

delivery or exchange of the refunding bonds, (d) in the event

the proceeds from the sale of the refunding bonds are to be

deposited in trust as hereinafter provided, interest to accrue

on such obligations from the date of delivery of the refunding

bonds to the date of maturity or to the first redemption date

7

of the obligations to be refunded, and (e) expenses, premiums

and commissions deemed by the governing body to be necessary in

connection with the issuance of the refunding bonds.

(2) Any such refunding may be effected, whether the

obligations to be refunded shall have then matured or shall

thereafter mature, either by the exchange of the refunding

bonds for the obligations to be refunded thereby with the

consent of the holders of the obligations so to be refunded, or

by sale of the refunding bonds and the application of the

proceeds thereof to the payment of the obligations to be refunded

thereby, and regardless of whether or not the obligations

proposed to be refunded shall be payable on the same date or

different date or shall be due serially or otherwise.

(3) The principal proceeds from the sale of any refunding

bonds shall be applied only as follows:

(a) To the immediate payment and retirement of the

obligations being refunded; or

(b) To the extent not required for the immediate

payment of the obligations being refunded, then such proceeds

shall be deposited in trust to provide for the payment and

retirement of the obligations being refunded, and to pay any

expenses incurred in connection with such refunding, but may

also be used to pay interest on the refunding bonds prior to

the retirement of the obligations being refunded. Money in any

such trust fund may be invested in direct obligations of, or

obligations the principal of and interest on which are guaranteed

by, the United States Government, or obligations of any agency

or instrumentality of the United States Government, or in

certificates of deposit issued by a bank or trust company or

insured savings and loan association located in the State of

Mississippi, if such certificates shall be secured by a pledge

of any of said obligations having an aggregate market value,

exclusive of accrued interest, equal at least to the principal

amount of the certificates so secured. Nothing herein shall be



construed as a limitation on the duration of any deposit in

trust for the retirement of obligations being refunded, but

which shall not have matured and which shall not be presently

redeemable.

(4) The issuer shall have the authority to enter into an

investment agreement with a financial institution incorporated

under the laws of the United States or the laws of any state in

the United States providing assurances with respect to the

return on investment of funds received by the issuer in con-

nection with the issuance of refunding bonds.

SECTION 11. (1) The bonds may be secured by a trust

agreement among the City of Oxford, Mississippi, Lafayette

County, Mississippi, the board of trustees, and a corporate

trustee, which may be any trust company or bank incorporated

under the laws of the United States or the laws of any state in

the United States. Any such trust agreement may pledge or

assign for the payment of the principal of, redemption premium,

if any, and interest on the bonds, the revenues and receipts

derived from the operation of the hospital.

(2) Such trust agreement or resolution providing for the

issuance of bonds may provide for the creation and maintenace

of such reserve funds as the governing body shall determine are

reasonable and proper, including such sinking fund or funds as

may be necessary to provide for the payment of the principal

of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the bonds. Any

such trust agreement or any resolution providing for the issuance

of bonds may contain such provisions for protecting and enforcing

the rights and remedies of the holders thereof as may be reason-

able and proper and not in violation of law, including the

duties of the issuer and the board of trustees in relation to

the acquisition of property and the construction, improvement,

maintenance, repair, operation and insurance of the hospital

for which such bonds shall have been issued or the revenues

9



from which are pledged as security for the bonds, and the

custody, safeguarding and application of all monies. Any such

trust agreement may set forth the rights and remedies of the

bondholders and of the corporate trustee, and may restrict the

individual right of action by bondholders as is customary in

trust agreements or trust indentures securing bonds and deben-

tures of corporations. In addition to the foregoing, any such

trust agreement may contain such provisions as the governing

body may deem reasonable and proper for the security of the

bondholders and may also contain provisions governing the

issuance of bonds to replace lost, stolen or mutilated bonds.

(3) Any trust agreement made in accordance with the

provisions of this act may contain a provision that, in the

event of a default in the payment of the principal of, redemp-

tion premium, if any, or the interest on the bonds issued in

accordance with, or relating to, such agreement, or in the

performance of any agreement contained in the proceedings,

trust agreement or instruments relating to such bonds, such

payment and performance may be enforced by mandamus or by the

appointment of a receiver in equity with power to charge and

collect the revenues and receipts, and rental payments, if any,

pledged to the payment of the bonds and to apply such revenues

and receipts, and rental payments, if any, in accordance with

such proceedings, trust agreements or instruments.

SECTION 12. No bond shall bear more than one (1) rate of

interest; each bond shall bear interest from its date to its

stated maturity date at the interest rate specified on the

bonds. All interest accruing on bonds shall be payable semi-

annually or annually, except that the first interest payment

for any bond may be for any period not exceeding one (1) year.

No interest payment shall be evidenced by more than one (1)

coupon, and neither cancelled nor supplemental coupons shall be

permitted.

DEMENT. WERIDIAN 52 - 5419

SECTION 13. All bonds shall be executed on behalf of the

issuer by the manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor if the

issuer is the City of Oxford or by the President of the Board

of Supervisors, if the issuer is Lafayette County, Mississippi,

and shall be countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature

of the Clerk of the City of Oxford or the Clerk of the Board of

Supervisors, whichever is applicable; provided that at least

one (1) signature on each bond shall be manual. All interest

coupons, if any, shall be executed on behalf of the issuer by

the facsimile signatures of the Mayor and Clerk of the City of

Oxford if the issuer is the City of Oxford or by the facsimile

signatures of the President and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors

if the issuer is Lafayette County. If the officers whose

signature or countersignatures appear on the bonds or interest

coupons shall cease to be such officers before delivery of the

bonds, such signatures or countersignatures shall, nevertheless,

be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if they

had remained in office until such delivery.

SECTION 14. Bonds issued under the provisions of this act

shall be legal investments for commercial banks, savings and

loan associations and insurance companies organized under the

laws of this state.

SECTION 15. The bonds authorized by this act and the

income therefrom shall be exempt from all taxation in the State

of Mississippi.

SECTION 16. The board of trustees shall continue to have

the authority, powers, rights, privileges and immunities with

respect to the hospital as provided under Sections 41-13-15 to

41-13-51, Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended.

SECTION 17. This act, without reference to any statute

not referred to herein, shall be deemed to be full and complete

authority for the issuance of bonds, and shall be construed as

an additional and alternative method therefor, and none of the

1 1



present restrictions, requirements, conditions or limitations of

law applicable to the issuance or sale of bonds, notes or other

obligations by issuers in this state shall apply to the issuance

and sale of bonds under this act, and no proceedings shall be

required for the issuance of bonds other than those provided for

and required herein, and all powers necessary to be exercised in

order to carry out the provisions of this act are hereby

conferred.

SECTION 17. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, before

either governing body adopts proceedings providing for the

issuance of the bonds, the approval of the other governing body

must be first obtained.

SECTION 18. This act shall take effect and be in force from

and after its passage.

OXFORD

MAYOR JOHN O. LESLIE Dear "Punchy";

I know that you are more than well aware of all the interest BOARDOFALDERMEN and effort that all of us . put into industrial develpment

tiv it Fora number of ears we have tried very provide the Oxford community with an energetic and effective on-going Industrial Development Program. To perfect this, we have supported the NMIDA and made various commitments to the Oxford-Lafayette Chamber of Commerce in this joint and mutual effort.

Many people in our community have, for the past several years, tried to reorganize a better effort in this direction through our Chamber of Commerce. About the middle of last year, through the diligent efforts and financial solicitation of this group, funds were pledged for at least three years to support a much broader effort on the part of the Chamber of Commerce. In order to help make this a success, our City Board pledged jointly with the City Electric Department a considerable sum to support this effort.

Since the beginning of our present participation in NMIDA, we have contributed some sixteen to eighteen thousand dollars, which we feel has been a fair and reasonable contribution to regional and local Industrial Development; however, with our pledge of support and financial contributions to this new effort for the Chamber of Commerce, and in as much as the two contributions would seem to over extend our financial responsi-bility in this effort, it is the feeling of our Board that we should withdraw from the North Mississippi Industrial Development Association.

It is with regret that we feel that we must advise you at this time of our withdrawal, but it is also with gratitude that we have once again been able to be a part of your fine organization.

xc: William B. Barrett Thomas H. Landrum

Sincerely,


MARCH 15, 1983 MEETING: It was moved by Alderman Lamar,

CONTRACT TO COLLECT MOTOR VEHICLE AD VALOREM TAXES

This agreement made and entered into on the date indicated

below by and between the City of Oxford, Mississippi, a municipal

corporation, hereinafter called "CITY" and the County of Lafayette,

Mississippi, hereinafter referred to as "COUNTY", on behalf of the

Lafayette County Tax Assessor and Tax Collector, hereinafter referred

to as "COLLECTOR".

Witnesseth:

Whereas, pursuant to the terms and provisions of Chapter 588,

General Laws of Mississippi, 1958, and the amendments thereto, CITY

has elected to prepare and has prepared for the taxable year beginning

October 1, 1983, its separate assessments schedule of motor vehicles

in the City of Oxford, Mississippi, and

Whereas, the previous tax collector of Lafayette County,

Mississippi, has heretofore collected said ad valorem taxes for CITY,

and COLLECTOR has experienced personnel and has the equipment and

facilities with which to efficiently collect CITY'S taxes for the

taxable year of 1983, and by virtue thereof, can collect said taxes

more economically than could CITY, and

Whereas, the collections of ad valorem taxes on motor vehicles

within the City of Oxford and the Oxford Municipal Separate School

District will fall into the bracket established by said Chapter 588

of three percent (3%), which percentage if inadequate to meet the

expenses of the collection of said taxes and, in order to induce

COUNTY to assume the additional obligation of collecting its taxes,

City is willing to increase the fee to the COUNTY to a flat-overall

fee of five percent (5%) of the amount collected for the City of

Oxford and the Oxford Municipal Separate School District; and

Whereas, CITY is of the opinion that it would be the best interest

of the general public to pay COUNTY to collect motor vehicle and

ad valorem taxes for the taxable year beginning October 1, 1983.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual

benefits to be derived here from the parties hereto do hereby

mutually agree and bind themselves, as follows:



1. COUNTY agrees to have COLLECTOR collect for the taxable

year beginning October 1, 1983, all ad valorem taxes due the City

of Oxford and Oxford Municipal Separate School District on all

motor vehicles on which he, as tax collector of Lafayette County,

Mississippi, collects State and County ad valorem taxes. In

determining the amount of tax to be collected on such vehicle,

COLLECTOR shall use the valuation of the motor vehicles as set

forth on the assessments schedule of said CITY, as amended, the

levies to be made by the Mayor and Board of aldermen of the City

of Oxford, Mississippi, on the 6th day of September, 1983, for

municipal ad valorem taxes for said CITY and the Oxford Municipal

Separate School District. All such taxes shall be collected by

COLLECTOR at the same time such State and County ad valorem taxes

are collected.

2. For having said taxes collected for CITY, CITY, shall pay

to COUNTY as compensation for services rendered hereunder five

percent (5%) of the total amount of such taxes collected by

COLLECTOR at the time of the remittance of such collections to the

CITY as hereinafter provided.

3. COUNTY agrees to faithfully account for and deliver to

CITY all of the money collected by COLLECTOR, his employees, agents,

servants, and clerks on behalf of CITY and the Oxford Municipal

Separate School District on or before the 20th day of the month

following that in which the funds are so collected, provided, however,

that in making said monthly settlements the COUNTY may deduct

therefrom its compensation as provided in this agreement and account

for the same at the time of such remittance.

4. COUNTY agrees to furnish CITY true and exact copies of

all reports required to be made to the motor vehicle comptroller,

the Commissioner of Public Safety, and the State Tax Coumdssion of

the State of Mississippi at the same time said reports are required

to be made to said Mississippi departments.

5. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit the

right of the CITY to pursue, prosecute and enforce the payment

of all ad valorem taxes and penalties by those who are delinquent,

if any, and those who have made false representations, if any, or

otherwise have evaded the payment of said taxes.



6. All of the applicable provisions of Chapter 588, General

Laws of Mississippi, 1958, and the amendments thereto are hereby

incorporated in this contract by reference to the same extent as

if they were set forth herein for all purposes, except that where

any of the provisions of said act conflict with or are different

to the expressed provisions of this agreement, that the provisions

hereof shall be binding on the parties hereto.

Honorable Mayor John O. Leslie City of Oxford Oxford, Mississippi 38655

Ref: Oxford Softball-Soccer Complex-Request for Proposal for Engineering Services

Dear Mayor Leslie:

We thank you for communicating with us concerning providing engineering services for the above project. After a thorough study of the "Rating Schedule" we wish to make the following observations. At the outset we feel that the rating schedule places undue emphasis on experience on specific type of engineering job; for example, item one through four involving prepartion of plans etc. carry 650 points, 62.5% of the total points. By placing such heavy reliance on ex-perience, it would seem that we are fostering sterotype plans rather than pro-moting ingenuity and fresh ideas thereby saving monies of the taxpayer. Had we, as a nation, relied heavily on experience only we would never have put men on the moon as we did through technological breakthroughs.

Second, by placing more important and emphasis on experience in specialized areas, as evidenced by the following requirement, "Have you, or anyone in your firm ever prepared a complete set of construction plans for a project financed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development", it appears to us that the spirit and content of "Selection Procedures under Attachment 0 of Circular No. A-102" are discarded. This requirement gives the impression that plans and specifications of HUD projects are special and different from those of engineering projects for other agencies, for example Department of Transportation and, therefore, tends to be discriminatory. It appears to us that, if a policy expressed in the first four items of the "Rating Schedule" is followed by the City of Oxford or any other agency for this matter, there is hardly any room for introduction of new and innovative engineering ideas into structures that we build today or in the future.

Thirdaly, by placing unreasonable requirements on small firms such as ours it would appear that the City would ever be in a position to award a fair share of contracts to small and minority business firms. Ours is a small business firm, the part ownership belongs to "minority." We feel that undue burden placed on small competent firms by emphasizing experience (62.5%) in relation to engineering know-how violates the spirit and purpose of item 9 under Attachment 0 of Circular No. A-102.

Based on these observations we feel that the aforementioned rating schedule is discriminatory to small but competent engineers and/or firms; therefore we request that you consider revising this rating schedule emphasizing more engineering know-how than routine experience..

We thank you for your consideration.

Very truly yours

each for rebuttal.


Development gave the background infor-

mation. The Planning Commission

considered the case on June 13, 1983,

held a public hearing and recommended that

the request for rezoning be granted due

to the fact that the applicant has

demonstrated successfully that a manifest

error does exist in the zoning map and

whereas significant change by way of

restoration and improvements has been

made to a large number of single family

dwellings in this area.

Paul Duffy, who filed the application for

the rezoning request spoke in favor of

the rezoning. He was representing 32

different ownerships in the area. He

stated that the zoning is an obvious error.

The error was made in 1966 and again in

1971 when the zoning ordinance was adopted.

Joe Pegram, Attorney, represented Grantham

Construction Company and Sonny Grantham,

personally. The following motion to

dismiss petition was filed:

totally uncollectable. The balance

of $51,000.00 is being pursued through

the powers of the court. He compared

Oxford to Greenwood ($85,000) and

Clarksdale ($220,000). Oxford has the

heavier caseload of the three. Judge

Ball reported that offenders who can

pay their fines are working them off as

laborers in the Park Commission. He

General Description

The City of Oxford, Mississippi, is located in the northern portion of the State of Mississippi, and is the home of the University of Mississippi. Oxford is 75 miles southeast of Memphis, Tennessee, 165 mies northeast of Jackson, Mississippi, and 190 miles northwest of Birmingham, Alabama.

Population

The population of the Municipality has been recorded by the United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, as follows:

1980

1970 1960

9,882

8,519 5,283

Transportation

Visitors find Oxford, thanks to highly developed road, rail and airport facilities, easy to reach from many directions. Within 20 miles west on Highway 6 runs 1-55, which transverses the state from Memphis, Tennessee, to New Orleans, Louisiana. Other roads include state highways 6, 7, 9 and 30 and federal highways 51 and 78.

University-Oxford Airport, currently under expansion to 6,000 feet, receives both commuter and private flights.

Purpose and Authorization

The Bonds are being issued to raise money for the purpose of constructing Airport Road from Molly Barr Road westward to intersect with College Hill Road (5,407 ft.).

The Bonds will be issued pursuant to the provisions of Sections 21-33-301 to 21-33-329, Mississippi Code of 1972 (the "Act"), and a Bond Resolution adopted September 6, 1983 by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the Municipality (the "Bond Resolution").

In order to issue the Bonds, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the Municipality adopted a resolution declaring its intention to issue the Bonds and gave notice of such intention by publication of said resolution in a newspaper published in the Municipality. If ten percent or fifteen hundred, whichever is less, of the qualified electors of the City had filed a written protest against the issuance of the Bonds on or before the date specified in said resolution, an election on the question of their issuance would have been required. No written protest was received on or before May 3, 1983, the date designated by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen as the date on or before which written protest was required to have been filed. The City of Oxford, Mississippi, is now authorized and empowered by the Act to issue the Bonds without the necessity of calling and holding an election on the question of their issuance.

TAXI ORDINANCE:

REQUEST FROM JOHN BLACK OF THE RAILROAD AUTHORITY:

ADJOURNMENT:

City Attorney Ed Perry reported that

he researched the procedure for the

issuance of Taxi Permits as requested

but that Mississippi Law provides that

Board of Aldermen has to approve Taxi

Permits.

John Black came before the Mayor and

Board of Aldermen representing the

Railroad authority to request that the

city Board consider lending financial

support in the purchasing of the Illionis

Central road bed from Oxford to Taylor.

It is a strip of land 8 miles long, 100

feet wide. The Railroad Authority must

give an answer to Illinois Central

Railroad by December 15, 1983. The

purpose would be to have access to right-

of-way if it ever becomes desirable to

have railroad access to this area for

industrial development.

The request was taken under advisement.

It was moved and seconded to adjourn the

meeting Sine-Die.
