REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
MAY 4, 1971
The City Council of the City of Southlake met in regular session
in the Council Chamber of City Hall on Tuesday, May 4, 1971,
with the following members present:
Wade Booker, Mayor
Ralph Polson, Mayor Pro Tem
Billy Joe Knox, Councilman
W. 0. Nunn, Councilman
R. D. Drummond, Councilman
Absent: Thurman Hearn, Councilman
Also present: William D. Campbell, City Attorney
Mayor Booker called the meeting to order at 7:30 P.M. The in-
vocation was given by City Chaplain Gene Tyson.
The minutes of the last regular meeting were approved as read.
Mssrs. Bill Bell and Jimmy Alewine of Carter & Burgess, Inc.
appeared for the purpose of discussion concerning the develop-
ment contract between the City of Southlake and Real-Tex Enter-
prises, Inc., developers of Dove Estates; and also to discuss
the current condition and prospects of our water system. One
point made regarding the development contract was that most
developers pay for the approach mains. Recommendations made
■ were that streets have 6' stabilization and 4" of asphalt or
equivalent; street lights and street signs be installed. After
the agreement is signed, final approval can be given and bond
is made but no building permits can be issued until the agree-
ment is met as to water lines and streets being installed. As
for water, Mr. Alewine suggested a fiscal advisor be retained
to search out good financing for the City and that HUD be
forgotten at this time.
Fire Department report was given by Chief Steele. (Copy attached.)
Troclamation was issued by Mayor Booker that May 8th be desig-
nated Fire Recognition Day in Southlake and open house from 1 to
4 P.M. The Chief informed the Council all equipment was presently
operational and that the tires needed changing on the tanker.
Mayor Booker is to get prices for doing the job.
Police Department report was given by Capt. Cordes (copy attached.)
Councilman Knox moved that the clutch be repaired on the 167 Ford
at a cost of approkimately $69; seconded by Councilman Drummond.
® Motion carried unanimously. Two officers are attending the Fort
Worth Police Academy at no expense to the City. A letter of
thanks is to-be sent for accepting our men to be signed by each
63
member of the Council.
The Council approved for payment the bills presented:
Grapevine Auto Supply, $37.37
Bell Communications, $35.00
and the regular monthly utility bills.
The Council was informed of the COG meeting May 19th.
Howard
Mr./Hunter asked the Council if he may speak to which the
Council gave unanimous approval. He asked that the people
be properly informed about HUD's refusal of our loan and
just what our water situation is since there is much mis-
understanding. It was decided by the Council that a news-
letter be sent. Gene Tyson volunteered to help get one out.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
