constituting a quorum, where among other proceedings had was the
following:
Minutes of the October 19, 1970 were read, corrected and them
approved~
The correction to the minutes was that the ambulance (emergency)
study was a study and not a service as yet.
Item 1
Mayor Cozby read a letter to the council from the Dallas County
League Ambulance Service. After the letter was read it was discussed by
the council and Mr. McGiboney made a motion that Coppell at $68 par-
ticipate in the first phase of the study. This motion was seconded
by Mr. Wilson.
Item 2
The council was informed that our policy with State Farm Insurance
would be canceled beginning on November 11, 1970. The State Farm
Insurance Agency sent a letter stating we were ineligible. They
also gave us permission to use their letter when finding another
insurance firm for proof of the reason our insurance policy was
canceled with them. Mr. McGiboney thinks a new insurance agency
prospect might be Liberty Mutual. He said he would check into this.
Item 3
Mr. Summers appeared before the council so that some definite agree-
ments could be set up concerning inspections on the sewer lines, and
to see if something could be done about the meter on Howell Drive.
The present problem is,that when people move into the new homes the
meters have already registered water that was not used by the new home
dwellers. The council did agree to have something definitely done
about this. Mr. Vanbebber was at this meeting and the council asked
if he would be inspector of our sewer lines. He agreed as sole
inspector he would accept the job. Mr. McGiboney then made the mo-
tion that 1) The line be left uncovered from the foundation to the
main until inspected. 2) An inspection be given the next day after
notified an inspection is needed. 3) The use of red and green tags
in inspection procedure. This motion was passed 5-0.
