The matter of delinquent taxes was the first topic of business. Following discussion, Councilman Knox moved that initial action be taken to extend the contract with Attorney Wayne Rhone for the collection of delinquent taxes; seconded by Councilman Berry. Motion passed unanimously. The POLICE DEPARTMENT monthly activity sheet was given to each Councilman. Councilman Nunn informed the Council that there were no matters demanding attention at this time. Mayor Booker advised that he would be advertising bids for the sale of one of the patrol cars and that there were two parties already in- terested in it. WATER DEPARTMENT report was made by Councilman Davis. He an- nounced that the bond program was now completed and that the truck load of pipe for further main extensions had been deli- vered and would be used on those projects that have the great- est need. He announced that the yard around the City Hall is in the process of being cleaned up and will be leveled later in the year and hopefully be more attractive in the future. He next discussed the fact that the Keller School District will be building a new school in the extra-territorial jurisdiction 170 of the City. The feeling of the Council seemed to be one of waiting to see whether or not the Keller School District will request services from the City. FIRE DEPARTMENT monthly activity report was turned in to the Councilmen. Councilman Winfrey announced that there were no matters needing Council attention at this time. Chief Steele asked the Council for permission to purchase a new battery for his walkie-talkie at a cost of $45. So moved Councilman Nunn; seconded by Councilman Knox. Motion passed unanimously. Chief Steele informed the Council that the radios ordered five months ago still have not been delivered and he told the company that he wants delivery in the immediate future or he would cancel the order. TEXAS POWER & LIGHT rate increase report was given to the Coun- cil by the Mayor who advised them that the increase granted by them earlier will go into effect in November at a lower rate than that agreed upon--a 9.6% increase rather than the 10.6% increase requested by TP&L. This action on the part of TP&L followed the Touche-Ross report which was made for the City of Waco. The Annual Summary Cash Flow reports were next considered by the Council. Councilman Knox commended the City Secretary for sound fiscal management. Councilman Knox then moved that the bills as per the attached list be approved for payment; seconded by Councilman Nunn. Motion passed unanimously. Chief Steele requested the Council's attention, appologizing for having forgotten to take the matter up earlier in the meeting. HE!requested that a letter be sent to Tom Schirman from the City thanking him for the many hours of service he rendered in the fire department over the past years. Mr. Schirman has moved from Southlake and is no longer a volunteer fireman. The Mayor then closed this portion of the meeting for the dis- cussion of land matters. Upon reconvening, the Mayor announced there being no further business, thZmeeZtin was adjourned.
