The regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Southlake was held on
Tuesday evening, May 3s 7230 PM at the city hall.

3 Sehultse, W. C. Goodenough, Don Austin, Howard Moffat, D. C. McKee, J. P. Trueloves
and Ben McClure.
Mr. McKee was invited to state his business. As was known to all present,
Mr. McBee was the owner and operator of a water well in the subdivision of Oak
Knoll and had sold water se ce to the residents of the area for some years.
3 Mr. McKee requested the cit~ither purchase his well or allow his to continue
operation (in duplication of service) with the city's newly installed water
system.
Mr. McKee's request brought on a lengthy question and answer session. Many
remarks were interjected by certain of the visitors. Finally, Mr. Carlils,
i water commission;,stated that he felt the city would derive little benefit
told from the purchase of the well; this seemed to be general opinion of all the
councilmen and was made firm when a similar opinion was expressed by Mr.
Ouckian. On motion of J. J. Carlile, seconded by J. L. Clow, the matter of
Mr. McKee's well was tabled for a time in the near future. Mr. McKee was
asked to present his proposal on paper at such meeting.
A notice of a water operation school at Arlington was read. On motion of
W. H. Crusbaker, seconded by Earl Williamms, it was agreed that Mr. Carlile
should attend the sessions designated for water operation.
Mayor Schell read a report from the Metropolitan Highway Commission. He
appointed Mr. Roger Baird to reppesent the City of Southlake on this
commission and stated he would so notify Mr. Baird. Mayor Schell remarked
that a motion was not required for this appointment but that he would appreciate
council's views. On motion of J. J. Carlile, seconded by J. D. Cate, the
appointment was approved.
The matter of W. Art Clifton's subdivision and water installation was discussed.
Mr. Carlile and W. M. Ouckian reported that Mr. Ray Marris of the FHA had instructed
that the complete installation must be accomplished before any added contract
3 could be started. The subdivision installation, he continued, would constitute
added contract obligations, therefore could not be undertaken at the present.
Mr. Schell stated he would inform Mr. McPherson of the suggestion of the
Zoning and Planning Commission that a fence be erected around the corner of
his tile-concrete block operation.
3 The J. C. Wood tAdler court matter was again brought up for discussion.

The secretary was instructed to notify Mr. Wood, immmediately, that a plat,
drawn to scale, of the present and proposed trailer court facilities, should
be presented immediately to council for consideration. Ales, a copy of the
approval of the state and county health authorities, should be submitted along
with the plat. These items were to be in the hands of Mayor Schell within
two weeks time at the most. Mr. Wood was to be informed that the REA (Tri-
County Electric Coop) would be notified to delay the cut-off of electric
service until May 20, 1966. (Present date was may 5, 1966) After general
discussion, the motion was made by J. L. Clow that Nr. Wood be so notified
immediately., seconded by J. D. Cate, and carried.
Next came a general discussion which concerned land around the well-site* op
Whether or not crashed rock or grass should be put on the fenced area around
the well and pump-house seemed to be the question. By common consent, the
crushed rock, for the small fenced area, and "hot top" road from the well
oat to Carroll Road, was approved.
Ordinances fvsannexation of land owned by
Tip Johnsonxis me read and approved on motion of R. E. Williams, seconded by
W. ff. Crumbaker.
The question came up as to whether land, now owned and occupied by Dwaine
Petty, was actually in the City of Southlaks. The $50.00 deposit for a
water tap had been made by Earl Page, former owner. After considerable
debate, decision was made that this area was nominally a part of the city"
and that the owner should be served from the system. tr
Routine bills were approved for payment. J. D. Cate, J. L. Clow, and PP
Earl Williams reviewed statements from Thompson Printing Company and Kibler
Office Supply for purchases made for the water system; time spent on cards
and mailing list by Mmes. Baird and Cummins, long distance phone calls from
October, 1965, through March 1, 1966. The bills were approved and checks
were written and signed by the mayor and secretary. W
