City of Southlake
Special Meeting
November 22, 1965
8:00 P.M.
Mayor Schell opened the special meeting which had been called
for the purpose of considering amendments in instruments previously
signed by Council in connection with the water loan. Mr. Bob
Gladney, bond attorney, had requested the meeting and immediately
upon his arrival, Mayor Schell turned the meeting over to him.
Mr. Gladney called for roll call of Councilmen. Answering roll
call were W. H. Crumbaker, J. D. Cate, Earl Williams, J. J.
Carlile. J. L. Clow was not present, and Mr. Gladney left a
paper for Mr. Clow to sign which would evidence his approval or
disapproval of the business transacted upon this occasion. The
secretary was instructed to obtain this signature and mail it
promptly to Mr. Gladney. (Note: This was done and Mr. Clow
approved the action of Council. Nelson.)
Mr. GladneY read the changes which the loan agencY required.

The bonds had to be registered bonds and sections 6, 7 and 8
of the original writing had to be worded differently. However,
no change in meaning was involved.
Mr. Gladney informed Council that the loan agency preferred
that the City deal be changed to read City of Southlake rather
than Town of Southlake. The Articles of Incorporation read
'Town of Southlake''. No specific reason was given for this re-
quest, and Mr. Gladney was asked to inquire into why this
should be changed.
Councilman J. Cato made a motion re~--ardz'n- these changes in
m ~
two parts: first, that the Council approve the changes re-
quested in the wording of the instruments; second, that if the
agency required the chane in the seal which was to be super-
imposed on the printed bonds, that Council approve such change
at this meeting. The motion was discussed, seconded by J. J.
Carlile, and carried.
Mr. Gladney further informed Council that the loan agency re-
quired a specific kind of paper for printing the bonds and that

the Helm Company would have to increase their first quotation of
$262.50 to cover this extra cost. Mr. Cate made a motion to
accept this change in cost, and to include the cost of the new
seal, if it were required. J. J. Carlile seconded and motion
carried.
After concluding his business, Mr. Gladney thanked Council and ,
left the meeting. Mayor Schell then called the meeting to
order to present certain items to the attention of Council.
First was annexation ordinance no. 136 and no. 137 from Art B.
Clifton and wife, and Clifco, Inc. for land known to Council as
the Reifschneider place. Each ordinance and petition being
complete as to description., etc., J. J. Carlile made the
motion to approve the requests for annexation. W. H. Crumbaker ,
seconded the motion, which carried.
The water program, generally, was discussed, as was the need
for a traffic light, etc.
The City Secretary interjected a topic of discussion which re-
lated to her definite decision to resign. The city's business
was rapidly expanding into a time consuming job, and the future
water billing and collecting had to be planned for. Mrs. Nelson
felt that the City Secretary position and the Water Program
clerical work could be combined, and therefore, create compen-
sable employment for one person. Council agreed that the idea
had merit, and a general discussion followed, but no formal
action was taken.
By general agreement, the meeting was adjourned.
