PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING ANNEXATION OF PROPERTY OWNED BY JAMES RUST
IN THE M. M. FREEMAN SURVEY. There was no one present in the audi-
ence who spoke either for or against the annexation. Councilman
Knox moved that Ordinance No. 219, annexing the property of James 1
Rust in the M. M. Freeman Survey, Abstract No. 533, be adopted;
seconded by Councilman Nunn. Motion passed unanimously. (Said
Ordinance attached hereto and made a part hereof.) I
Mr. James Rust then addressed the Council regarding the water
main down to said property and proposed that the City consider a
lower tap fee than the $250 standard cost for the taps inside the '
developments. Mr. Rust was advised that the City's policy is to
rebate one-half of the tap fee to the developer as each tap is set.
Mr. Rust said he felt that this would be satisfactory with Mr. ,
Luckadoo as it is with him. He also asked about refiling the newly
filed plat in order to create a bridal path with fencing along both
sides at the south end of the property along Bear Creek. The City
Attorney advised the engineers should take a look at it. Mr. Rust
said he did not expect an answer tonight. Discussion followed where-
in the Council seemed favorable to the idea but were somewhat con- '
cerned about the maintenance.

POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT was given by Councilman Nunn who moved that
the catalytic converters be removed from the patrol cars provided it
was legal to.do so; seconded by Councilman Knox. Discussion followed,
whereupon Councilman Nunn amended his motion asking approval to spend
$70 to remove the catalytic converters if it can be done without creat-
ing any problems--legal or otherwise; seconded by Councilman Knox.
Motion passed unanimously.
FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT was given by Chief Steele at the request of
Councilman Winfrey who estimated that a net profit of around $230
was realized from the Fish Fry. He informed the Council that Unit
No. 3001 was about complete on the repair work and that Unit No.
3002 was now also in need of repair which would cost about $400 to
coat the inside of the tank with fiberglass. Councilman Knox asked
for two more bids. Discussion followed regarding fireworks. Then
Chief Steele informed the Council that Harry J. Bradley, the newly
appointed Fire Marshal, had resigned. The Mayor stated that a decision
on Unit No. 3002 would be on the July 15th Agenda and requested that a
new Fire Marshal be recommended for appointment at the August 5 meeting.
In the absence of Mayor Pro Tem Davis, there was no Water Department
report at this time.
ZA-75-5, a request by C. F. Emery for a change in zoning on his pro-
perty at SH 114 and Kimball from F District to H District and Alco-
holic Use, was set for public hearing by the Mayor on August 5, 1975,
at 7:30 P.M.
Councilman Knox moved that the bills presented be approved for pay-
ment; seconded by Councilman Winfrey. Motion passed unanimously.
PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD report was given by Councilman Berry who
informed the Council of the actions taken by the new Board and the
plans discussed regarding a park site at the city property on White
Chapel Blvd. At the suggestion of Councilman Berry, Councilman Knox
moved that the name of the park, as recommended by the Board, be
named "The Bi-Centennial Park" and that it be formally dedicated on
July 4, 1976, in commemoration of our country's 200th birthday;
seconded by Councilman Winfrey. Motion passed unanimously. The
