ITEM NO. 3: Public hearing to consider annexation to the City of Coppell of
approximately 129.1049 acres of land located at the southwest corner of the
intersection of Beltline Road and Cowboy Drive on request of Connell Development
· :~ Company.
Mr. Mark Connell representing Connell Development Company was present to discuss
this item with the Council. Mayor Brown declared the public hearing open and
asked for those persons who wished to speak for the proposed annexation. There
were none. Mayor Brown then asked for those persons who wished to speak against
the proposed change. Again, there were none. The public hearing was declared
closed and discussion was held among Council members. Following discussion,
Mayor Brown stated that the second public hearing would be heard on Tuesday,
July 24, 1984 at the regularly scheduled Council meeting.
ITEM NO. 4: Consider awarding a contract to install a w~ter line on DeForest
Road.
City Engineer Wayne Ginn made the presentation to the Council. Basically,
this item is being requested because the Council has received requests that
there were some residents in this area that were experiencing water difficulties
because of the construction immediately to the south. Mr. Ginn stated that
a temporary water line could be laid to serve these residents until the
permanent line could be installed within approximately 6-12 months and that
no additional right-of-way would be required from the citizens living in this
area. Approximately 50% of the citizens living along DeForest Road were
present and advised the Council that they had no serious water problems at
this time and their preference would be to wait for the permanent water line
and fire service rather than have a temporary line installed. Following
discussion on this item, Councilman Bailey moved that the water line not be
installed at this time due to the request of the citizens present that lived
in this area; Mayor Pro Tem Thompson seconded and motion carried 5-0.
ITEM NO. 5: Executive Session (Closed to the Public)
The meeting was then closed for an executive session allowed under Article
6252-17, Section 2 (g) discussion concerning personnel.
Following the executive session, the meeting was declared open to the public.
Mayor Pro Tem Thompson moved that Mr. Mark Sweeney be hired as Administrative
Assistant at an annual salary of $23,519 with a car allowance of $4,200
annually effective July 23, 1984; Councilman Bailey seconded the motion which
carried 4-1 with Councilman Ware voting against the motion.
