The minutes of the last regular meeting were approved as read. FLOOD HAZARD AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE was opened for discussion. Citizen Martin Vale asked if the designation of an area as flood prone would be harmful to its value. The Council felt this would not hurt the value of property and would qualify for the flood insurance program because of it. Craig Eaton offered further thoughts along this line. Motion by Councilman Knox to adopt Ordinance No. 161-62, as written, pertaining to the flood hazard amendment; seconded by Councilman Nunn. Motion passed unanimously. (Said Ordinance attached hereto and made a part hereof.) STREET STANDARDS: Final discussion was next had on the adoption of an ordinance setting forth street standards. The Council ex- pressed the view that the standards as developed by Carter & Burgess were thorough. Councilman Knox advised he had been out of town and therefore had not had the opportunity to study the proposed ordinance. Councilman Davis moved that the matter be tabled to the December 3rd meeting; seconded by Councilman Knox. Councilman Nunn asked to go on record as stating that he did not care to see delay beyond that time. Motion passed unani- mously. At this time, Craig Eaton handed the PUD section he has developed for the updating of the zoning ordinance. He also handed in a prepared check list for final plats as asked for by the Planning & Zoning Commission. 3 The Council next considered the request for a private access road by John Love. Mr. Love introduced Mr. Ken McWaters to explain what was needed. He stated that some of the land has been sold and access is only attainable by such a road. The Mayor called on the City Attorney who advised that if a gate would be kept closed and a "Private Property" sign posted, to which Mr. Love agreed, there would be no problems. The Council were all in agreement that such a road be permitted and that this is not being done as preliminary road construction. The Mayor tabled the appointment of a member to the Planning & Zoning Commission in David Moak's place to the next regular meeting. LOOSE LIVESTOCK CONTROL was next discussed with the Council and Mrs. Evelyn Zembrod who asked that an ordinance be passed to alleviate such a problem. Discussion followed. The Mayor recommended to the Council that they take time between now and the December 17th meeting to study the problem and determine their wishes as to the passage of such an ordinance at that time. Miss Cathy Wincovitch addressed the Council regarding the City's consortium with-Tarrant County for participation in the Commu- nity Development Act. Councilman Davis moved that Resolution Nn-,7,-., ,1, having the City joining with Tarrant County in the Community Development Act, be passed and approved; seconded by Councilman Nunn. Motion passed unanimously. (Said Resolution attached hereto and made a part hereof.) 169 FIRE DEPARTMENT report was given by Councilman Winfrey who then gave the floor to Fire Chief Steele, who asked for Council ap- proval of a purchase of a pressure relief valve in the sum of $45.00:` So moved Councilman Knox; seconded by Councilman Davis. Motion passed unanimously. The by-laws were then discussed. Councilman Winfrey moved that the amendment to the by-laws be accepted as presented; seconded by Councilman Knox.

Regular Council Meeting 11/19/74-Pg 2 of 3. 170 r L The POLICE DEPARTMENT report was given by Police Chief Hughes at the request of Councilman Nunn. He called the Council's attention to a fifty-fifty grant for the purchase of traffic control signs. The Council did not exhibit any interest. He then called the Council's attention to the present grant in- volving the purchase of radio equipment, the City's share needing to be raised approximately $1200.00 which would then make the City's total cost in this grant participation the sum of $2,754.00. Councilman Knox moved that such raise be author- ized, amending Resolution No. 74-28; seconded by Councilman Davis. Motion passed unanimously. (Said amendment to Resolu- tion No. 74-28 attached hereto and made a part hereof.) Councilman Knox informed the Council that the Department of Public Safety is "looking for a home". After some discus- sion, the Council agreed that $500.00 be allocated to enclose a space on the second floor of this City building to be used as an office by the Department of Public Safety. So moved Councilman Knox; seconded by Councilman Nunn. Motion passed unanimously. The WATER DEPARTMENT report was given by Councilman Davis. First topic of discussion was to provide a fenced in storage area at a cost of about $2100.00 and Councilman Davis so moved; seconded by Councilman Winfrey. Motion passed unanimously. The City Secretary was instructed to place on the December 17th agenda the subject matter of the No. 2 ground storage tank which is in need of repair. Councilman Knox moved that the bills presented be approved for payment; seconded by Councilman Winfrey. Motion passed unani- mously. The City Attorney advised the Council as to the Tarrant County Health Department septic tank regulations being inflexible as to the lot'size and also to the fact that there are nine (9) cities that have adopted it thus far. The Council took no action on this matter at this time. Mayor Booker announced that a closed session on the subject of personnel matters would follow this meeting. There being no further business the meeting adjourned. Mayor ATTEST: City Secretary Regular Council Meeting 11/19/74-Pg 3 of 3.
