URBANOSKY, Councilman BRAD POPKIN, Councilman February 23,1979 LLOYD HARPER,. Councilman NEWSLETTER A rabid skunk was killed in Continental Estates in January. Another skunk was killed on 1709, but when tested, was not rabid. Should you kill a skunk, contact the Police Department or pick up. Do not handle it yourself. Your dogs and cats should be vaccinated. Should any additional rabid animals be found, you will be notified through your local newspaper. The Water Quality Committee has submitted its report to the r City Council recommending the digging of two Paluxy Wells for the short term solution and a study to determine sources of surface water for a long term solution. The Council had previously submitted a grant request for funds to dig two Paluxy Wells and we should have confirma- tion on the grant in July. The Council has requested quotes to determine the cost of the study for a long term supply. The Citizens Advisory Committee is currently working on updating and revising the City of Southlake Zoning Ordinance No. 161. Membership is now at eight citizens. They meet the first and third Mondays of each month at the city hall. An "Estate" zoning classifi- cation is in the proposed change and would fill the gap between Agricultural and Residential Zoning. Chose of us who live in Southlake have a unique opportunity. We have managed to involve a number of our citizens in efforts on the park, water, sewer and zoning. However, we would like to involve even more of you in the challenges facing Southlake. If we can continue to have your inputs and advice, then we can continue to be responsive to your desires and provide service to the people that live here. Get involved in Southlake and have a say in your future. Call Sandy at city hall or Pat Hawk at 481-2077. In December, the City Council passed Ordinance No. 248, controlling the disposal of garbage and established a franchise collector. The City will bill, collect, and coordinate any problem related to this service. We appreciate your patience in January as weather and lack of familiarity prevented the collector giving optimum service. Those who have not signed up may still do so. The billing mailed by the City on the 1st and 15th of February, were for the month of February. Report any incidents out of the ordinary to your Police Department. They are there for your protection. The Police recovered over $ 13,000. in vehicles and other stolen personal property. Consider- able time was devoted by off duty personnel and this resulted in an,, arrest and the confiscation of approximately six pounds of marijuana and other illicit drugs. The department recently filled two vacancies and now have added a reserve program. We currently have two in the program which will provide additional protection to the city. The Department is involved in a number of youth activities. The City Detective recently gave an accident seminar to Carroll Students. The sewer Committee has been making good progress developing a sewer plan. The Committee task has been a challenging one. They have met with representatives of other cities and various agencies in their quest for answers. Citizen comments on sewerage are welcome. This committee meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays. You are welcome to attend these meetings. They are scheduled to complete their recommendations to the City in March. A City fire protection plan is in the process of being developed. This plan set needed goals for the City in terms of service, equipment, facilities, training and legislation, When drafted, the plan will be presented to you in public hearings to allow your input. We would welcome your help on the plan now. The Fire Department has finished huilding a tanker with funds provided the City through Revenue Sharing. The tanker will be of benefit in providing protection in those parts of Southlake without fire hydrants. The City Council has agreed to participate in cost of installing fireplugs where mains are increased in size this assistance would be to residents on a 40 percent basis.) This council has also agreed to also assist residents in the same way anywhere in the City where mains are large enough to support plugs on the same basis.
