THE BAYTOWN SUN
Wednesday, June 22,1994
-tt-A
AUSTIN (AP) - A state per-
formance review of the Midland
Independent School District is
proposing a total of nearly $5.6
million in cost savings while
praising the district as a "bench-
mark" for other districts.
“We believe our proposed sav-
ings are the minimum Midland
taxpayers should expect over the
next five years,” said Comptroller
John Sharp, who released the
audit Tuesday.
He said the recommendations
could result in savings of
$411,352 for the 1994-95 school
year. In 1995-96, that could climb
to $863,926 — or about 1 percent
of the district’s total operating
budget, Sharp said.
The report contained 109 rec-
ommendations. They ranged
from improved planning and
scheduling to reducing the num-
ber of leased automobiles avail-
able to school district staffers.
The audit also praised a num-
ber of the district^ programs. For
example, it said the maintenance
department employs only a small
core of full-time staff members
and contracts with private compa-
nies for peak-load periods and
specialized jobs.
The Midland audit was the 12th
performance review of school
districts around the state conduct-
ed by the comptroller’s office.
The reports have identified
about $85 million in possible sav-
ings, and Sharp said nearly $25
million of those savings have
been realized so far.
Marathon
Oil considers
Russian deal
Midland ISD
r proposes
cost savings
HOUSTON (AP) — Russian
officials are leaning toward a $9
billion deal to allow Marathon Oil
and four other companies to devel-
op two huge oil ami gas fields off
Sakhalin Island
In addition to Marathon, the
members of the consortium
involved in the Sakhalin deal are
McDermott International, Mitsui &
Co., Royal Dutch-Shell Group and
Mitsubishi Corp.
“We want to sign die agreement
of Sakhalin 2 here in Washington,”
Yuri K. Shafianik, Russian Minis-
ter of Fuels and Energy, said TYses-
day.
Finalizing the agreement will
pave the way for other deals with
Western oil companies in the Russ-
ian far east, he said
The deal will be signed Wednes-
day, during Prime Minister Viktor
Chernomyrdin’s visit to Washing-
ton, a Russian embassy spokesman
said
A Marathon spokesman said he
could not confirm that die produc-
tion-sharing agreement will be
completed this week.
“We’d be delighted frankly,
said Bill Ryder, a spokesman for
Houston-based Marathon.
The Piltun-Astokh and LunSk
fields have estimated reserves of
750 million barrels of oil and 1.4
trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
The companies received authori-
ty to conduct a feasibility study in
1992. Completion of the agreement
has been delayed several times. The
negotiators missed a deadline of
December 1993 set by Cher-
nomyrdin when he visited Houston
last summer.
Chernomyrdin, a former natural
gas executive, has said Sakhalin 2
is one of the premier projects in the
effort to increase Russia’s oil and
gas production.
Ryder, the Marathon spokesman,
cautioned that signing the agree-
ment isn’t the final step before tile
companies start drilling wells. !
