That the check was brought by the representative to the First National Bank and deposited in City of Southlake Construction Account. A check for each payment to the respective contractors ,r will be drawn at the office of the loan agency, countersigned there, and then signed by the mayor and city secretary, Mr. Schell further stated. At hand was a paper titled "resolution" of City Council of the City of Southlake, which had ,a been prepared by B. L. Nelson Associates. Mr. Schell read the item to Council: "Resolution authorizing Mayor to sign Partial Payments, Final Payments and Change Orders." 'WHFRAS, the City of Southlake has entered into a contract with E. L. Dalton and Company, for the construction of a water distribution system and such contract calls for payment for all work done in one calendar month by the 15th day of the succeeding month, called partial payments, for payment for all work done at the final inspection, and allows for Change Orders to the contract, when approved s by the City's Engineer. Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved By the City Council of the City of Southlake, Texas that Paul Schell, Mayor, be and he is hereby authorized to execute on behalf of Southlake, Texas, all such Partial Payments, Final Payment and Change Orders.' r General discussion indicated that members of the council felt an order of this type had been previously signed among legal documents presented by Mr. Bob Gladney. Rather than call it a "resolution", Earl Williams made a motion to the effect that the Mayor be so empowered, seconded by W. H. Crumbakere carried. The secretary was instructed to sign the paper and send the required copy to Farmers' Home Administration. A copy is inserted in this report of minutes of this February 1, 1966 meeting. (N) s Mayor Schell asked Mr. E berts to state his business with Council. Mr. McClure and Mr. Eberts both came forward and Mr. McClure spoke first. He had annexation ordinances for land, adjacent to present city boundaries, which is ocapied by Triangle Facilities (Continental OIL) and American Petrofina. Ordinance of Annexation No. 138 for American Petrofina was approved on motion of W. H. Crumbaker, seconded by J. D. Cate, carried. Ordinance Me. 139 for Triangle Facilitiest Continental Oil Company, similarly approved on motion of W. H. Crumbaker, seconded „ by J. D. Cate, carried. A C y,,P4 Page two - council meeting, February 1, 1966, 7:30 PM Mr. Eberta thanked council and Mayor Schell for their cooperation. For the record, this gentlemen had been in the community some days prior to this meeting. Interviews with Mayor Schell and Mrs. Nelson, city secretary, had directed him to Ben McClure, city attorney, for the preparation of the aforesaid annexation ordinances. a; Mayor Schell asked R. L. McPherson to state his business. Mr. McPherson said that he and Mr. Murphy were present to ask for commercial zoning on part of the former's land. Mr. Murphy assisted him, he said, in operating a concrete` the manufacturing (forming) business. It is a small venture, he stated, but he had hopes of future growth. Mr. McPherson stated that he knew the regulations and rules of the city, therefore, he requested that a certain area of his m property be zoned for commercial use for the purpose of this type business operation. r His plea was referred to Mr. G. W. Hargadine, chairman of the zoning and planning commission for discussion and recommendation. Mr. McPherson thanked council and stated he would present the necessary plat and so forth to Mr. Hargadine• w Mayor Schell asked Mr. J. P. Truelove to report on progress of construction of the water system. After a favorable report, Mr. Truelove listened carefully roll as a number of items of complaint came up for discussion. He explained reasons n L why driveways would present problems until the final "round" of construction; showed pictures of the construction sites, taken by independent "checkers" for E. L. Dalton Company. Mr. Truelove assured council and Mayor Schell that he would exercise every precaution to see that the people had fewer reasons for complaint; Mayor Schell remained firm in his statement that the construction crew should clean up some of the destruction as they "went" in order to lessen the trouble in driveways, etc. Mr. Truelove stated that Mr. Carlile had been of tremendous help on the job and that with his continued cooperation, he felt complaints would decrease. a Mr. Carlile and Mrs. Nelson asked that no further orders for fire hydrants be allowed at this time. Mr. Truelove approved this idea, stating that by the time they could be obtained, the crew would be finished and off the premises. Earl Williams made a motion to this effect, seconded by J. D, Cate, carried. A general discussion in regard to fire hydrants developed the thought that after total construction had been complete, a survey might be made. The city could then determine how map y fire hydrants would adequately protect the various areas and additional ones could be purchased on the same cooperative basis as had been done in the original construction. This was conceded to be a fine a idea for the future but no action was taken. Mr. Carlile presented a plat of a proposed subdivision of property owned by r Mr. Marvin Winsett on the Keller Road. Councilman Carlile explained that he had informed the owner at the beginning that his plat failed to meet city requirements for a subdivision. By common consent, councilmen and Mayor Schell suggested the paper be returned with a negative answer until such time that the plans were complete and in accord with city ordinances. a. s. Page three - council meeting, February 1, 1966, 7:30 PM The Texas Power and Light Company submitted a corrected copy of the rate schedule for the operation of the water pump. This was revised to SO HP standby charge for each month at the rate of $1.00 per HP for one year as a minimum, with any excess to be charged at standard commercial rates. At the end of one year, this contract may be re-written to 100 HP minimum for each month, with the $1.00 still in effect. 40 Mayor Schell informed Council that Mrs. Lavon Baird and Mrs. Mollie Cummins, who operate the Southlake Postoffice, Furniture, and Insurance office, across the highway from the City Hall, had asked to submit a bid for the AN billing, collecting, and posting customer's adcounts for the water bills. Council listened attentively and suggested the ladies submit this bid at an early date. The secretary was instructed to deliver this message. A discussion followed on the progress of the Volunteer Fire Department. It was reported that the Tarrant County Fire Marshal had informed the group who had been spearheading this program in Southlake, that a bonafide +a organization, approved by the City, would have to function before financial aid from county funds could be obtained. Mayor Schell stated he had been * informed that the group planned to meet on the first Thursday evening of each month, and to set another meeting time for the second required meeting. He went on to say that two training periods per month were obligatory in order to fulfill requirements. Mr. W. H. Crumbaker, councilman who serves as vice-president of the organization, stated that the membership quota had been reached. That there were many offers of tangible help--materials, labor, cash--for the building, equipment, etc. He r stated that enthusiasm was high and that he felt the Southlake Volunteer Fire Department, complete with facilities, would become a reality in the near future. For the record, the stove would "barely" burn--the secretary was instructed ~r to have the gas cylinder refilled. Investigation on the outside revealed a small pipe leading from the butane tank (cylinder) to the "tack-room" of the landlord. By common consent, meeting was adjourned. Secretary Mayor ~r .
