Dear Mayor Clow:
I wish to advise you and the Southlake City Council the present
situation of the Northeast Cities Advisory Council. During the past
six months, we have been unable to officially transact any business
due to a lack of a quorum. In reviewing the attendance record the
last six months, it appears that your city was represented by both
your delegates only two times.
® In order for our organization to survive, I must take firm steps and
would request you and your Council to take appropriate action to '
insure your representation to the Northeast Cities Advisory Council.
I would appreciate any comments you or your Council would care to make.
Very truly yours,
t

Honorable City Council
City of Southlake
Southlake, Texas
Gentlemen:
This Budget is prepared and submitted in conformance with
the Revised Civil Statutes of Texas. It is for the City
of Southlake, Texas, and for the fiscal year of January 1,
1971, through December 31, 1971.
Southlake has been incorporated since 1956. This year,
1970, represents only the third year that taxes have been
levied on the property.wi thin our boundaries. The City
began collecting taxes in order to meet certain needs and
goals, i.e.., provide the best police protection that can
be afforded, upgrade our Fire Department for better fire
protection and better insurance rates, expand our present
water system and provide for any.:. additional well. These
needs and goals have been met in part and will be carried
forward during the coming year. The Budget hereby sub-
mitted will not require an increase from the present tax
structure of 35~ on $100 valuation, fifty per cent of
fair market value, for the coining year.
Doing so much with so little could only have been accom-
plished with the cooperation of so many interested
citizens who so willingly donate their time and efforts
toward the betterment of our community. Appreciation of
their efforts and sincere thanks are extended to these
citizens and their continuing cooperation is requested,
as well as the cooperation of every citizen. With the
help of all, unlimited goals could be attained in our
community.
Respectfully submitted:
T.-L/ Clow, Mayor
