CM 1972-10-12STATE OF TEXAS
COUNTY OF DALLAS
The City Council of the City of Coppell met in regular session on October 12,
1972, in the elementary school cafeteria.
The following members were present:
Hulen Scott, Mayor
Hazel Beal, Councilwoman
Bill Harris, Councilman
Sam Tiner, Councilman
Don Carter, Councilman
Mayor Pro Tem Bob Hefner was not present. Also present were City Attorney
Larry Jackson and City Planning Consultant Sam Wyse.
The meeting was called to order and the audience asked to stand while Council-
man Tiner gave the invocation.
The minutes of the previous meeting were then read. Councilman Tiner moved
that the minutes be approved as read; Councilwoman Beal seconded and motion
carried 3-0-1 with Councilman Harris abstaining and the mayor showing his
approval.
The first item to be considered was the permit received by Bobby Ottinger
on September 3, 1969, to move a house in in the Stringfellow Addition on
Sandy Lake Road. The permit stated that the owner agrees to brick the house
after it is moved to the new location. Since the City has received a letter of
complaint concerning this house, the Ottingers were asked what course of
action they had decided to take. They stated that they were in the process of
trying to work something out to get a loan to remodel the house and that they
will inform the Council of any action that is taken; that they should be able to
tell the Council something within 60 days about what is being done.
The next item was the discussion of towing service for the City. Mr. Joe
Dodson was present to discuss his past services and to request a contract
or ordinance with the City for his towing services. Councilman Carter moved
that until the ordinance can be drawn up, the police department use the release
forms that they now have for cars that are towed to the City pound; Councilman
Harris seconded and motion carried 4-0. Councilman Carter also moved that
the fee remain at $25 flat fee for now; Councilman Tiner seconded and motion
carried 4-0 with the mayor showing his approval.
Next, Mr. Fred Kadane presented his request for his 62.39 acres of land to
be annexed into the City of Coppell. This land is north of the creek and east
of Denton Tap. He was requesting that his land be zoned as Planned Develop-
ment. Since our master zoning ordinance requires that all land come into the
City as agriculture, Mr. Kadane decided that he would do some more work on
his request before any action be taken.
Next, was a discussion on a proposed house moving ordinance. The city
attorney recommended that the Council adopt a separate house moving ordinance
when the Dallas Building Code is adopted. Councilman Carter moved that until
the City can get something worked out on this matter, the inspector look at
every building that is to be moved in at its present location prior to it being
moved into the City, and that a building permit must be obtained before the
moving permit can be obtained. And a $25 inspection fee must be paid before
the building is knspected. The building must be inspected before the building
permit is obtained and the permit should outline the requirements that are to
be met before the building is moved in. Councilwoman Beal seconded and
motion carried 4-0 with the mayor showing his approval.
The next item to be discussed was the City/County participation on proposed
roads in Coppell. City Planning Consultant Sam Wyse stated that some roads
within the City will be 100% county participation, some will be 50-50 with the
county and city, and some the county will repair and the city will reimburse
them for the expense. Some of the roads that are 100% county participation are
Belt Line, Sandy Lake, Denton Tap, and the Bethel Road extension. The County
would like for Coppell to list in priority fashion the roads that they wish the
county to consider in their next year' s budget. Also they stated that they would
like for the City to appoint someone to represent the City while the county is
preparing their budget. Councilman Harris moved that the Council appoint Sam
Wyse to work with the county as our representative; Councilwoman Beal
seconded and motion carried 4-0 with the mayor showing his approval.
Next, Dave Shrum, representing Brazos Electric Company appeared before the
Council for discussion on the City providing water service to their proposed
building at the intersection of Thweatt and Coppell Roads. City Engineers
Derrell Johnson and Hank Hensley reported that the best solution would be to
link the two larger lines on Sandy Lake Road and Coppell Road with an 8" line,
which would not be economically feasible at this time. After discussion on this
subject, Mr. Shrum stated that he would talk with Brazos Electric and see if
they would want to have the City build their line and work out a pro-rata deal
with the City and would report back to let us know.
Next, the animal control ordinance was brought up for discussion. Mr. Paul
Waller asked to be recognized from the audience and stated that he felt the
registration is out of line for the people in town that our animals and have
them vaccinated already. After discussion on this ordinance, Councilman
Carter moved that the registration fee be changed to be in line with Dallas 's
fee of $1.00 and that this ordinance numbered 95 be passed; Councilman
Harris seconded and motion carried 4-0 with the mayor showing his approval.
Next, was the consideration of amaintenance contract with Economy Appraisal
Service. Councilman Carter moved that this item be tabled until next meeting;
Councilman Harris seconded and motion carried 4-0 with the mayor showing
his approval.
Next, Derrell Johnson presented a letter from the State Health Department
stating that they had reviewed the report sent to them and they had made certain
recommendations so that our water system may be operated and maintained
in accordance with the department's acceptable practices. Councilman Carter
moved that the City do the necessary things to comply with the department' s
practices as soon as possible; Councilman Tiner seconded and motion carried
4-0 with the mayor showing his approval.
In order to correct the minutes of a past meeting, Councilman Harris moved
that the Council officially hire Pat Belvin on a full time basis retroactive to
August 14, 1972; Councilman Carter seconded and motion carried 4-0 with
the mayor showing his approval.
Mr. Vanbebber,water superintendent, presented a recommendation that an
ordinance be drawn up concerning the procedure to take when a street has to
be cut for water lines.
The next item was the budget hearing. After review of the budget, Councilman
Carter moved that the budget be accepted as amended and that ordinance #97
approving the budget be adopted, a copy of which is attached; Councilman Harris
seconded and motion carried 4-0 with the mayor showing his approval.
The 1972 tax roll was then presented to the Council. Councilman Harris moved
that the roll be accepted as presented; Councilman Tiner seconded and motion
carried 4-0 with the mayor showing his approval.
The ordinance levying the tax rate for 1972 was the next item considered.
Councilman Tiner moved that ordinance #98 levying the tax rate be adopted
and the rate set at $. 95 per $100 valuation; Councilman Carter seconded and
motion carried 4-0 with the mayor showing his approval.
The next item was the approval of the bills. Departmental totals presented
were:
General Government $819.41
Fire Department 440.54
Police Department B09.74
Public Work Department 259.36
Water Department 775.93
The Fire Department total included payments for half the cost of the firemen's
uniforms, which amounted to $176.85. Councilman Harris moved that the
bills be approved for payment; Councilman Tiner seconded and motion carried
4-0 with the mayor showing his approval.
Councilman Carter moved that the time for the chief of police to be certified
be extended another 60 days; Councilman Tiner seconded and motion carried
4-0 with the mayor showing his approval. Councilman Carter also moved that
the chief be authorized to order the necessary equipment for the new car with
the P.A. 15A amended to be less than $100; Councilman Tiner seconded and
motion carried 4-0 with the mayor showing his approval.
The meeting was then closed to the public for an executive session.
After the executive session, the meeting was adjourned.
