Council Meeting
City of Southlake, 7:30 PM
February 1, 1966
r
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Paul Schell. Answering roll call were
Councilmen W. H. Crumbaker, R. E. Williams, J. D. Cate, J. J. Carlile. Others
+40 present were R. L. McPherson, Milton F. Murphy, E. Bruce Eberts of Continental
Oil Company, Ben McClure, J. P. Truelove.
a
Mayor Schell reported to council that on January 12, 1966, the funds from the
Farmers'Home Administration were finally delivered. That the check was brought
by the representative to the First National Bank and deposited in City of Southlake
Construction Account. A check for each payment to the respective contractors
,r will be drawn at the office of the loan agency, countersigned there, and then
signed by the mayor and city secretary, Mr. Schell further stated. At hand was
a paper titled "resolution" of City Council of the City of Southlake, which had
,a been prepared by B. L. Nelson Associates. Mr. Schell read the item to Council:
"Resolution authorizing Mayor to sign Partial Payments, Final Payments and Change
Orders."
'WHFRAS, the City of Southlake has entered into a contract with E. L. Dalton and
Company, for the construction of a water distribution system and such contract
calls for payment for all work done in one calendar month by the 15th day of the
succeeding month, called partial payments, for payment for all work done at the
final inspection, and allows for Change Orders to the contract, when approved
s by the City's Engineer.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved By the City Council of the City of Southlake,
Texas that Paul Schell, Mayor, be and he is hereby authorized to execute on
behalf of Southlake, Texas, all such Partial Payments, Final Payment and Change
Orders.'
r General discussion indicated that members of the council felt an order of this
type had been previously signed among legal documents presented by Mr. Bob
Gladney. Rather than call it a "resolution", Earl Williams made a motion to
the effect that the Mayor be so empowered, seconded by W. H. Crumbakere carried.
The secretary was instructed to sign the paper and send the required copy to
Farmers' Home Administration. A copy is inserted in this report of minutes
of this February 1, 1966 meeting. (N)

Mayor Schell asked Mr. E berts to state his business with Council. Mr. McClure
and Mr. Eberts both came forward and Mr. McClure spoke first. He had annexation
ordinances for land, adjacent to present city boundaries, which is ocapied by
Triangle Facilities (Continental OIL) and American Petrofina. Ordinance of
Annexation No. 138 for American Petrofina was approved on motion of W. H. Crumbaker,
seconded by J. D. Cate, carried. Ordinance Me. 139 for Triangle Facilitiest
Continental Oil Company, similarly approved on motion of W. H. Crumbaker, seconded
„ by J. D. Cate, carried.

Mr. Eberta thanked council and Mayor Schell for their cooperation. For the
record, this gentlemen had been in the community some days prior to this
meeting. Interviews with Mayor Schell and Mrs. Nelson, city secretary, had
directed him to Ben McClure, city attorney, for the preparation of the
aforesaid annexation ordinances. a;
Mayor Schell asked R. L. McPherson to state his business. Mr. McPherson said
that he and Mr. Murphy were present to ask for commercial zoning on part of
the former's land. Mr. Murphy assisted him, he said, in operating a concrete`
the manufacturing (forming) business. It is a small venture, he stated, but
he had hopes of future growth. Mr. McPherson stated that he knew the regulations
and rules of the city, therefore, he requested that a certain area of his m
property be zoned for commercial use for the purpose of this type business
operation.
r
His plea was referred to Mr. G. W. Hargadine, chairman of the zoning and planning
commission for discussion and recommendation. Mr. McPherson thanked council
and stated he would present the necessary plat and so forth to Mr. Hargadine• w
Mayor Schell asked Mr. J. P. Truelove to report on progress of construction
of the water system. After a favorable report, Mr. Truelove listened carefully
roll as a number of items of complaint came up for discussion. He explained reasons n
L why driveways would present problems until the final "round" of construction;
showed pictures of the construction sites, taken by independent "checkers"
for E. L. Dalton Company. Mr. Truelove assured council and Mayor Schell that
he would exercise every precaution to see that the people had fewer reasons for
complaint; Mayor Schell remained firm in his statement that the construction
crew should clean up some of the destruction as they "went" in order to lessen
the trouble in driveways, etc. Mr. Truelove stated that Mr. Carlile had been
of tremendous help on the job and that with his continued cooperation, he felt
complaints would decrease.
a
Mr. Carlile and Mrs. Nelson asked that no further orders for fire hydrants be
allowed at this time. Mr. Truelove approved this idea, stating that by the
time they could be obtained, the crew would be finished and off the premises.
Earl Williams made a motion to this effect, seconded by J. D, Cate, carried.
A general discussion in regard to fire hydrants developed the thought that
after total construction had been complete, a survey might be made. The city
could then determine how map y fire hydrants would adequately protect the various
areas and additional ones could be purchased on the same cooperative basis
as had been done in the original construction. This was conceded to be a fine a
idea for the future but no action was taken.
Mr. Carlile presented a plat of a proposed subdivision of property owned by r
Mr. Marvin Winsett on the Keller Road. Councilman Carlile explained that he
had informed the owner at the beginning that his plat failed to meet city
requirements for a subdivision. By common consent, councilmen and Mayor Schell
suggested the paper be returned with a negative answer until such time that the
plans were complete and in accord with city ordinances.

Page three - council meeting, February 1, 1966, 7:30 PM
The Texas Power and Light Company submitted a corrected copy of the rate
schedule for the operation of the water pump. This was revised to SO HP
standby charge for each month at the rate of $1.00 per HP for one year
as a minimum, with any excess to be charged at standard commercial rates.
At the end of one year, this contract may be re-written to 100 HP minimum
for each month, with the $1.00 still in effect.
40 Mayor Schell informed Council that Mrs. Lavon Baird and Mrs. Mollie Cummins,
who operate the Southlake Postoffice, Furniture, and Insurance office,
across the highway from the City Hall, had asked to submit a bid for the
AN billing, collecting, and posting customer's adcounts for the water bills.
Council listened attentively and suggested the ladies submit this bid
at an early date. The secretary was instructed to deliver this message.
A discussion followed on the progress of the Volunteer Fire Department.
It was reported that the Tarrant County Fire Marshal had informed the
group who had been spearheading this program in Southlake, that a bonafide
+a organization, approved by the City, would have to function before financial
aid from county funds could be obtained. Mayor Schell stated he had been
* informed that the group planned to meet on the first Thursday evening of each
month, and to set another meeting time for the second required meeting. He
went on to say that two training periods per month were obligatory in order
to fulfill requirements.
Mr. W. H. Crumbaker, councilman who serves as vice-president of the organization,
stated that the membership quota had been reached. That there were many offers of
tangible help--materials, labor, cash--for the building, equipment, etc. He
r stated that enthusiasm was high and that he felt the Southlake Volunteer Fire
Department, complete with facilities, would become a reality in the near future.
For the record, the stove would "barely" burn--the secretary was instructed
~r
to have the gas cylinder refilled. Investigation on the outside revealed
a small pipe leading from the butane tank (cylinder) to the "tack-room"
of the landlord.
By common consent, meeting was adjourned.
