REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NOVEMBER 18, 1975
The City Council of the City of Southlake, Texas, met in reg-
ular session in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 667 North

with the following members present:

Absent: James H. Winfrey, Councilman
Staff members present: William D. Campbell, City Attorney

Guests: Members of the Carroll High School Senior Class

Glen Morrison.
Mayor Booker called the meeting to order at 7:35 P.M. The invo-
cation was given by Councilman Knox. The Minutes of the last
regular meeting were approved as read.
The Mayor opened the floor for discussion on the matter of the
Proposed Updated Zoning Ordinance. C.M. Gordon said he criti-
cized the type of approach and that he was opposed to a govern-
ment of law and favored a government of people. Discussion fol-
lowed. Eleanor Kasper asked what was wrong with the present
zoning ordinance other than difficulties experienced due to ad-
ministering same. Larry Smith commented that he thought it was
too stringent. The Mayor made comments favoring it. Ralph Polson

stated views implying he was not in favor of it. The City
Attorney stated the ordinance was not as restrictive as the
persons speaking against it seemed to think. Ms. Virginia
Clow made favorable comments about it. Craig Eaton cleared
up some of the confusion that seemed to exist regarding the
understanding of the proposed zoning ordinance. C. M. Gordon
again spoke stating that planning ahead was not the same as
passing a zoning ordinance and he felt that ordinances should
be enacted as the problems arise. Larry Smith commented that
there seemed to be discord between the Planning & Zoning Com-
mission and City Council and he felt that there should be a
type of round table discussion to resolve differences in that
the two bodies should be in accord. The Mayor recommended that
this be done and various dates were suggested. He then asked
Councilman Nunn what his views were on the matter inasmuch as
he had made no statements. Whereupon Councilman Nunn said,
"Most of us do not like bureaucracy and like our freedom but
everyone's freedom ends where my nose begins", and he further
stated he would go on record as being for the proposed ordi-
nance. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison expressed their views on the
enforcing of ordinances already on the books.
ORDINANCE NO. 24, granting General Telephone a rate increase,
was unanimously passed and approved on motion by Councilman
Knox; seconded by Counciman Nunn, in accordance with Council's
previous action at a regular Council meeting held may 6, 1975,
to accept whatever increasethe City of Grapevine accepted.
(Said Ordinance attached hereto and made a part hereof.)
WATER DEPARTMENT report was given by Councilman Davis who re-
minded the Council of the need for an additional well pump, ad-
vising the cost would be $1,856, and moved the purchase be made;
seconded by Councilman Knox. Motion passed unanimously.
FIRE DEPARTMENT report was given by the Mayor in the absence
of Councilman Winfrey. He informed the Council of the need for
a tire to be purchased for Unit 3001 and clutch repair made to
Unit 3003, costing a total of about $250. He asked for Council
approval to purchase the following equipment as budgeted: 10
helmets, 10 coats, boots, 12 helmet liners, 12 chin straps and
spanner wrenches at a cost of approximately $1,125. So moved
Councilman Nunn; seconded by Councilman Davis. Motion passed
unanimously. The Mayor told the Council he sent the letter to
Trophy Club Estates regarding the cost of a fire truck and was
waiting to hear from them.
