Mayor Booker called the meeting to order at 7:35 P.M. The in-
vocation was given by Councilman Knox. The Minutes of the last

The first item considered by the Council was Agenda Item No. 2, '
ZA 4: The Mayor recommended that the application be returned
to the Planning & Zoning Commission for another hearing to be set
due to the fact that proper notice was not received by at least one '
of the adjacent land owners. Mr. Martin Vale, present in the au-
dience and the adjacent property owner whose notice had the incor-
rect date, advised that he was displeasdd that he missed the meet- ,
ing held by the Planning & Zoning Commission as result of the er-
ror. Mr. Jack Evans, representing the property owner, seeking the
zoning change, stated it would be all right with himeto proceed '
with the public hearing. The City Attorney advised that unless it
is known that every adjacent land owner is willing to waive proper
notice, then-the application should be reset. Whereupon Councilman '
Knox moved that the Mayor's recommendation to reset the hearing be
accepted; seconded by Councilman Nunn. Motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Evans advised that it was all right with him to reset it. '
CASH FLOWS were next considered. Councilman Knox stated that
;12 4.-
until we enter into the new fiscal year and the tax money from
the 1975 Roll comes in, all purchases of $25 and up must be
approved by Council first. Discussion followed. Councilman
Knox then moved that the policy of purchases in the amount of
$25 and up must be approved by Council first is to be adhered
to by all Department Heads; seconded by Councilman Davis. Motion
passed unanimously.
13 FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT: Fire Chief Steele advised that the low-
est bid for the repair of Unit No. 3002 was $400. Discussion
followed concerning fiberglass adhesion to the inside of the
tank. Councilman Knox moved that a maximum of $450 be approved
to spend for such repair; seconded by Councilman Davis. Motion
passed unanimously.
Councilman Knox moved that the bills presented be approved for
payment; seconded by Councilman Nunn. Motion passed unanimously.
No other Departmental reports were made at this meeting.
The Mayor called for a short recess.
Upon reconvening the meeting, the Mayor polled the Council on
their wishes to defer action on the rate request sought by TP&L
inasmuch as Charles Page still had not appeared. Discussion
followed. Councilman Knox moved that the matter be postponed
until the next regular meeting; seconded by Councilman Berry.
Motion passed unanimously.

CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS"
TAX EQUALIZATION BOARD MEETING
July 19, 1975
The annual meeting of the City of Southlake Tax Equalization
Board convened at 9 o'clock A.M. in the Council Chamber of k
City Hall, 667 North Carroll Avenue, Southlake, Texas, with
the following members present:
Roger Baird
L. A. Casey
Natalee Nunn
Brad Popkin, Alternate
Also present: M. E. Whiteside, Tax Assessor.
The City Secretary swore in the Board Members in accordance
with Article 7215 of Vernon's Civil Statutes. The following
citizens appeared before the Board:
Harold I. Knight, 1749 E. Highland Street, protested to the
Board that although his property value had not been raised
this year, it had been raised last year and it exceeded the
value of his neighbors' property. In checking adjoining
owners, the Board found this to be true. Whereupon, Mrs.
Nunn moved that Mr. Knight's property be valued at $1,500
per acre as his neighbors; seconded by Mr. Popkin The
motion passed unanimously. The Board then recommended that
all property in that area (in Abstracts 1511 and 1038) along
East Highland and Sunshine Lane be raised in value to $2,000
an acre for the 1976 Tax Roll.
C. A. Parker, 2601 North Carroll Avenue, requested that his
tax be lowered inasmuch as he dedicated right-of-way to the
City for the extension of Carroll Avenue. The Board pointed
out that a reduction occurred in the amount of land taxed and
that he would receive the benefit of the Homestead Exemption
of $3,000 for those over 65. They did not feel that $1,000
per acre value on the balance was excessive and were unanimous
in leaving the value as currently assessed at $6,000. Mr.
Parker then asked that the Board review his son's property,
Larry Parker. After due consideration, the Board found the
value to be fair and left it the same.
There being no other citizens approach the Board and no further
matters before it, the Board all agreed to adjourn, whereby the
meeting did adjourn and the business at hand ended for this
year, 1975, sine die.
