2. ORDINANCE NO. 7430: Overview: This is the first reading of an ordinance annexing a 344.58 acre tract of land in Sections 65 and 38, Block 9, BS&F Survey, Randall County.

3. ORDINANCE NO. 7414: Overview: This is the second and final reading of an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 7151 to expand the definition of revenues subject to franchise fee. The ordinance makes no other changes to the franchise agreement.

4. ORDINANCE NO. 7425: Overview: This is the second and final reading of an ordinance ordering a special city election for Tuesday, November 5, 2013 for the purpose of voting on proposed amendments to the Amarillo City Charter. The ordinance states 21 amendments as ballot propositions. For each proposition there is explanatory material and prescribed ballot text. State law requires the ballot text to be succinct, so the ordinance prescribes ballot text for each proposition, and broader background information for each. The ordinance contains standard clauses for the administration of the election jointly with Potter and Randall Counties and contracting for their services in conducting the City's portion of the election. Since 1913, the charter has been amended only 7 times. This is the first time a broader updating of the Charter has ever been proposed. Numerous state and federal laws have been enacted or changed since 1913 and many of the propositions are "housekeeping" to bring the Charter into compliance with current law.
