Seven (7) said they would give all or part to the City. Five (5) owners said maybe, while five (5) said no they would not deed their land to the City. Mayor Grimmer stated that this has to do with the drainage and the possible straightening of the channel along Cooks Creek. City Manager Paul West stated that the Administration would like to ask the City Council to authorize the City to contact those people who are willing to dedicate their property, get them to sign the dedication instruments and bring the instruments back to the Council for consideration.. Mr. West stated that the Administration feels there is enough willingness of enough property owners to have a nice park in this vicinity. It will serve the dual purpose of providing for drainage and an attractive senic green- belt in that area of the City.

After some discussion, a motion by Councilman Linn, a second by Councilman Quevreaux, all voting "aye", authorized the City Administration to proceed with the acceptance of deeds for the property along Cooks Creek, with the understanding that the property will be dedicated and no city funds will be used to purchase it. Page 978 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5. -CONSIDER REQUEST FOR SPUR TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS. City Manager Paul West stated that the street of Spur Trail was in poor condition and the city has received a number of calls from the property owners requesting sombthing be done. He stated that there were several possibilities as far as handling the situation. The property owners and the City Engineer have had a meeting and discussed the possibilities. Mr. West gave information from page 4 of a report that had been given to the Council on alternatives for Spur Trail improvements. (Page 4 attached to these minutes) Mr. West stated that the two decisions needed from the Council at this time were: (1) What type of improvements shall be made; and, (2) Who shall pay for these improve- ments and on what basis. Mr. West gave an example that if the street is improved with the asphalt paving and open drainage (Alternative No. C of the report on page 4.), if the normal assessment procedure is followed, the property owners would pay approximately $30,000.00 and would cost the City approximately $10,000.00 primary for the drainage improvements and the pavement cost. The estimated rate for assessment would be approximately $ 4.00 a foot. r ~ Mayor Grimmer asked if there was anyone in the audience to speak on this subject. The following spoke: Mr. Wes Clark, 3132 Spur Trail, stated that the street is absorbing alot of traffic since Webb Chapel had been improved and is tearing ap the street. He stated that something needs to be done to cut out the traffic and requests that the street be repaired. Mr. Bob Thomas, 3165 Spur Trail, stated that several of the property owners had signed a petition that had been presented to the City requesting the City Council to initiate whatever action is necessary to overlay the street and improve the drainage on Spur Trail. Mr. Thomas stated the property owners opposed the paying of $14.00 a foot to get the street fixed. He stated that it was discussed at the meeting with the City Engineer of putting a cap on the street and digging a little trench for the&ainage which they felt was feasible. There was discussion that the street would have the some problems in later years if it were improved at this time with just an overlay. Mrs. Jo Johnson, 3153 Spur Trail, requested that signs be put up prohibiting truc!cs on Spur Trail. Mrs Johnson stated that the home owners do not want curbs, they like the country lane look.

He opposed to having curbs because it would take away the country lane took. Mr. J. M. Johnson, 3153 Spur Trail, stated he had been paying taxes on his property for 18 years and has seen nothing spent or maintenance done in the area. He requested that Spur Trail be improved. He told of having drainage problems in front of his home. Mr. Ray Tice, 3116 Spur Trail, inquired about the cost of the drainage and if it was figured in the report. There was discussion concerning the city forces building the street. It was discussed that the cost of the asphalt, with the open drainage, with 10" x 18" flat curbs, and with the city forces doing the work would be approximately $30, 000. 00. Mr. West explained that the overlay would cost approximately $12, 000. 00, $8, 000. 00 for the drainage and $10, 000. 00 to do the work. It was discussed that if the city forces were to do the work, it would be a while before they would be able to start the project. Mr. West stated that drainage was a problem in this area and the ditches needed to be dug which would disturb the grass. Mr. Bill Leftwich, 3135 Spur Trail, stated that he did not want a sidewalk. Mr. Basil Weaver, 2948 Primrose, gave some information that he had learned from a seminar on city planning. Mr. C. O. Boss, 3119 Spur Trail, stated that he did not want curbs for he liked the country lane affect. Mr. William Cornwell, 3152 Spur Trail, asked if the drainage was figured in with the figures in the report. Mr. West stated that the $8, 000. 00 for the drainage improvements was figured in. He pointed out that the flat curbs or ribbons that protect the edge of the asphalt will affect some of the driveways. Mr. Perry Hendricks, 3140 Spur Trail, stated that he feels they need the street, the curb and the drainage improvements. There was discussion on Alternative No. C, with an asphalt overlay with the drainage curbs and open drainage improvements, costing approximately $30, 000. 00 with the property owner being assessed $2. 00 per linear foot. It was discussed that the city could excavate the ditch to help with the drainage problem that now exists. After more discussion on Alternative No. C, Mr. West stated that the Adminis- tration will proceed with the planning for the improvements to Spur Trail based on the Alternative No. C, with the property owners being assessed with $2. 00 per linear foot. He stated that an ordinance would be prepared for the next Council meeting prohibiting trucks on Spur Trail and Brookhollow Drive. Page 980. AGENDA ITEM NO. 6. -CONSIDER REQUEST FOR SPEED CONTROL DEVICES IN ALLEY. REQUESTED BY GERALD SANDERS, 13514 Heartside. Mr. Gerald Sanders, 13514 Heartside, stated that he had returned a petition to the City requesting that the City place rumble strips in the alley between Heartside and Janwood, north of Rawhide Parkway, for the purpose of control- ling the speed of vehicles. The Council reviewed the petition. The petition holds the city harmless, states that the property owners requested the City to install the rumble strips, states that an additional petition is necessary for removal, and that money for the expense of prior installation and removal be submitted with any petition for removal. After more discussion, a motion by Councilman Binford, a second by Council- man McClung, all voting "aye", granted the request for the speed control rumble strips for the alley between Heartside and Janwood as requested in the petition submitted by Mr. Gerald Sanders. The Council requested that Mr. Sanders let the City know how the rumble strips work out after they have been installed for about six months.

City Manager Paul West gave the following information; During the fiscal year ending September 30, 1974 our Water Utility System experienced a loss in cash deficit of $69, 866. 49. This loss adds to a previous cash deficit of $81, 181. 91. The Administration had hoped the differences with the City of Dallas regarding the rates charge might be resolved at some early date; however it now appears this will continue to drag on for several ,years. The city needs to increase the rates in order to be able to sell additional revenue bonds for improvements to our water system. The city could not pay additional Debt Service even if the city could sell bonds. The last rate increase approved by the City Council was January 20, 1969. This increase was an 18% and was passed to cover a 20% increase in the cost of water from the City of Dallas. The City Council approved a 10% rate increase on September 6, 1966. This approval was to increase revenue required to pay operating expenses and Debt Service. There was an increase on April 6, 1963 to compensate for an increase in the cost of water from the City of Dallas. Mr. West explained the minimum additional revenues required to meet the future needs of the Utility System are $150, 000. 00. The proposed rate schedule selected is Schedule #E on the attachment. This schedule would produce $174, 327. 00 should we experience another year equal to the past ,year. The schedule would show a 14. 0% increase in the minimum charge. Customers who use 5, 000 gallons would show an increase of 14. 1%. There would be an increase of 14. 2% to customers who use 10, 000 gallons. A 20, 000 gallon user would show an increase of 22. 9%. The larger the consump- tion the greater the percentage of increase as the average increase is 20. 1%. Mr. West stated that the water line replacement program is presently being financed by proceeds from bond sales. It is anticipated with the growth to the system the proposed rate schedule could provide $150, 000. 00 each year to continue this program from operating revenue. This would provide a savings in interest. There was Council discussion concerning the possibility of leaving the rate as is for another year; passing the increase onto the higher user; a 10~ increase straight across the board per M gallons; and, the possibility of charging 60 per M gallons for everyone after the first 2, 000 gallons. There was more discussion of the Council wishing to see different schedules on the possible increases that had been discussed. A motion by Councilman Linn, a second by Councilman Flaherty, all voting "aye", tabled the discussion of water rates for further information from the Administration. AGENDA ITEM NO. 9. -CONSIDER ORDINANCE NO. 1036 AMENDING ORDIN- ANCE NO. 937 PROVIDING REGULATIONS OF THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. City Manager Paul West stated that proposed Ordinance No. 1036 revises the provisions of Article 9, Chapter 17 of the Code of Ordinances so that it will not apply to private clubs. These clubs are already controlled adequately by State law. Page 982. After a brief discussion, a motion by Councilman Quevreaux, a second by Councilman Binford, all voting "aye", adopted the following captioned Ordinance No, 1036: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH, TEXAS, AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH, BY AMENDING CHAPTER 17, SECTION 17-133 BY ADDING SUBSECTION (e), "THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ORDINANCE SHALL NOT APPLY TO PRIVATE CLUBS, PROVIDING AN EMERGENCY CLAUSE. AGENDA ITEM NO. 10. - CONSIDER ORDINANCE NO. 1039 CONTROLLING SPEED LIMIT IN AREAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, AND/OR MAINTENANCE. City Manager Paul West stated that the presented proposed Ordinance No. 1039 will allow the City Manager or his agent, to set a lower speed limit which will be enforceable by the Police on those streets or portions of streets which are under maintenance, construction and/or repair. A State law requires an ordinance by the City in order to allow the City to vary the maximum speed limits allowed by law. After a brief discussion, a motion by Councilman McClung, a second by Council- man Linn, all voting "aye", adopted the following captioned Ordinance No. 1039: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR HIS AGENT TO ESTABLISH SPEED LIMITS ON ANY STREET, HIGHWAY OR ALLEY OR PORTION THEREOF, UNDER CONSTRUCTION, REPAIR OR MAINTENANCE; AUTHORIZING THE POSTING OF SIGNS NOTIFYING THE OPERATOR OF A MOTOR VEHICLE OF THE MAXIMUM SPEED ALLOWED; MAKING IT UNLAWFUL TO EXCEED THAT SPEED LIMIT WITH- IN SUCH DESIGNATED PORTION OF SUCH STREET, HIGHWAY OR ALLEY; PROVIDING A PENALTY CLAUSE; PROVIDING A FINE NOT TO EXCEED $200. 00; AND PROVIDING AN EMERGENCY CLAUSE. AGENDA ITEM NO. 11. -CONSIDER ORDINANCE NO. 1037 AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1034- REGULATING PINBALL MACHINES. City Manager Paul West explained that the presented proposed Ordinance No, 1037 amends Ordinance No. 1034, the Pinball Machine Ordinance of the City of Farmers Branch, by exempting from payment of license fees those coin operated and non-coin operated devices which are temporary replace- ments for those devices which are already under a permit. It also exempts those coin operated and non-coin operated devices for which no payment or charge is charged by the establishment which has such devices located within such establishment. This will allow the Police Department and the Recreation Department to use such devices in the recreational centers. All other provisions of the ordinance are the same as already adopted by the City Council. After a brief discussion, a motion by Councilman Flaherty, a second by Council- man Linn, all voting "aye", adopted the following captioned Ordinance No. 1037; Page 983. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH, TEXAS, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1034, SO AS TO EXEMPT TEM- PORARY MACHINES FROM LICENSE FEES; EXEMPTING FROM LICENSE FEES THOSE DEVICES FOR WHICH NO CHARGE IS REQUIRED FOR THEIR USE; PROVIDING THAT ORDINANCE NO. 1034 SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT AS AMENDED HEREIN; AND PROVIDING AN EMERGENCY CLAUSE. AGENDA ITEM NO. 12. -CONSIDER AWARDING BID FOR MOWER FOR THE PARK DEPARTMENT. City Manager Paul West stated that bids were opened November 11, 1974 for the 15' rotary bat-wing mower. Five bids with one alternate bid were submitted. Two bidders met all specifications. Mr. West stated that it was the recommendation of the Administration to award the bid to Ben Griffin Tractor Company for a Servis Flex 15' Rotary Mower in the amount of $3, 599. 01. This was the low bid meeting the specifications. After reviewing all bids, a motion by Councilman McClung, a second by Council- man Linn, all voting "aye", authorized the purchase of a 15' rotary mower from Ben Griffen Tractor Company for the amount of $3, 599. 01. AGENDA ITEM NO. 13. -CONSIDER AWARDING BID FOR STREET LIGHTING MATERIALS FOR THE VALLEY VIEW LANE PROJECT. City Manager Paul West explained that bids were received on November 8, 1974, for street lights and some park lights on the Valley View paving project between Templeton Trail and Brookhollow. The low bid of Graybar Electric Company, Inc. contained light poles of less strength characteristics than specified, contained provision for an unspecified light and the street light wiring was not as specified for direct burial. The Graybar bid of $14, 377. 24 is considered to be substantially outside the intent of the plans and specifi- cations. The second and higher bid of Consolidated Electrical Distributors of $17, 511. 24 is in conformance with the plans and specifications. Mr. West stated that it was the recommendation of the Administration to award the bid for the street and park lights on Valley View Lane project to Consolidated Electrical Distributors for the unit price bid of $17, 511. 24 with delivery to begin within 5 days after notice and completed within 126 calendar days. After some discussion, a motion by Councilman Linn, a second by Council- man Quevreaux, all voting "aye", awarded the bid to Consolidated Electrical Distributors for the unit price bid of $17, 511. 24 with delivery to begin within 5 days after notice, for the street and park lights on the Valley View Lane project.

Mr. West stated it was the recommendation of the Administration that the Council authorize advertisement for bids for the purchase of these pumps. After a brief discussion, a motion by Councilman Linn, a second by Council- man Binford, all voting "aye", granted the Administration to advertise for bids for the purchase of pumps for the Sanitary Landfill.

After some discussion, a motion by Councilman McClung, a second by Council- man Quevreaux, all voting "aye", discontinued the newspaper pick-up recycling program, effective December 1, 1974.
