Adams Councilman Norman Adeler Councilman Greg Norwood Councilman and with Councilman William J. Longo not in attendance due to a business con ~ict and with Councilman Gary Shipman on vacation and not in attendance. 1. CONSIDERATION OF FINAL PLAT ~30 Mr. Tom Cravens of Fox & Jacobs, Incorporated advised the Council that this plat involved the extension of South Colony Boulevard west of FM#423 with a secondary street curving back to the north returning to FM#423 approximately 200' south of Heatherington. Councilman Norwood asked what the width of this street would be. Mr. Cravens advised that it is a 27' residential street with a 50' right-of-way. Regarding a development schedule, Mr. Cravens advised that the streets would be constructed in July, 1980. There followed a discussion regarding traffic flow. Mr. Adeler was concerned with "icing" being a problem for residents. Mr. Cravens advised that only the south entrance would not be graded. He described to the Council the "dogbone" turnaround on the short residential streets. The Council concurred that this would not create a parking problem. There followed further discussions of the "lifestyle" product proposed by Fox & Jacobs to be built in the sub- division. The house would be built on 45' x 100' lots, contain 1,000 to 1,800 square feet and sell for approximately Sixty to Eighty Thousand Dollars. At this time Councilman Adams moved to approve final subdivision of Plat ~30. Seconded by Councilman Norwood, the motion was passed by the following roll call vote: Ayes: All members present voted aye Noes: None 2. CONSIDERATION OF FENCE VARIANCE Mr. Ken Storey Of 6213 Blair Oaks requested of the Council a variance to allow a portion of his existing fence to remain on the alley right- of-way. Mr. Bradbury advised the Council that the fence was 1~' from the pavement, but at this point the alley "y's" out and creates a wider concrete surface. This construction eliminates a space problem for refuse trucks. It was determined that the granting of this variance would not create a right-of-way problem as the fifteen feet is provided by the construction of the alley. Councilman Adams moved that this fence variance be granted to Mr. & Mrs. Ken Storey. Seconded by Councilman Adeler, the motion was passed by the following roll call vote: Ayes: All members present voted aye Noes: None O00Gi8 auo~ :s~o~ 5ut~olIo; aq~ Xq passed sea uoTsom aq~ '~alapv uemITOUnOD Xq papuooa9 u~mIIOUnoo '~a~g~qO aInH amah aq~ go ~0'I UOTgaaS q~T~ aou~paoaae uT DuIpeag pusses aaueu!pao pies pue uois~xauue ie~ei!un ~Hi ~0 NOISNIIXI ~HA ~0~ ONIGIAO~d :AIIO GI¥S ~ZHAO ~0 S~O~IAI~d ~ ©NIIN~O :SII~I~ AIIO GI~S NIHIIM lHi ONIXINN~ 'S~X~I 'XNO~OD ~Hi ~0 AilO ~Hi ~O ~DN~NIG~O N~ XNO~OD ~Hi LO Ails ZHI LO SiI~I7 XilO GN¥~ ZHSV OMi ©NIXZNN~ ZONYNI~HO ~0 ©NIGYZH GNOOZS LO NOILVHZGISNOD '9 auON :saoN :aSOA II~o IIO2 DuI~oIIo~ aq~ Xq passed se~ uoI~om uodn £II# aoUeUTP20 X~TS aAo2dde os paAOm Uaq~ poo~goN uemITounos -pa2Jnouoo TTOUnoo uoT~epuaunuooaJ s,ouBe~STH gaTqo ST ~T ~q~ page~s poo~goN u~miTounos -HZAZS ~ ©NI~IAOHd :ZDIAZ~ HZd 00'9~ ~0 XVi NOILVd~SSO q¥~NN~ ~0~ ©NIGIAOHd :NOIL~qOIA HD~Z MOL 00'00~ NVHL ZHO~ iON LO XL~NZd ~ ONIGIAOHd :SZDIAZG LNZMZS~M-~ GZi~HZdO NIOS HO/GNV SZ~H~L GHYq~IH ~0 SHOLVHZdO GNV SHZNMO gO ONISNZSI~ ONI~OHLNOO 'NOISIAHZd~S ONIGIAOHd 'SNOILINI~ZG ©NIGIAOHd XNOTOD ZHL ~0 ALI0 ZHL ~0 ZONYNIG~O N~ :uoTydeo buT~oIIO~ ZSNVNIGHO auoN :saoN :s~oa IIeO IIOJ Du!xoIIo~ aq~ Xq passed puooas uodn ~II# aou~uIP20 X~YO aAoJdd~ o~ paAom poo~goN ummIIounos LI~IHXZ S~ iD~LNOD (090I#) ~fZG NHO£ ZNO LO ZS~HD~d ZHA ~0~ XN~dMOD LNZMdIRO/ N~ HLIM AIIS ZHL ~0 ONIZI~OHI~ :uoI~deo 5ul~oIIO~ ZHI ONIZIHOHL~ ZON~NIGHO gO DNIQ~ZH auoN :saoN aX~ pa~OA ~uasa~d s~aqmam II¥ :saA¥ :a~OA IIeO IIO2 DuI~oIIo~ aqJ Xq 'paAO~ OS poo~JON UemlIounoo epuabe siq~ aTqe~ I!ounoo 000614 7.

CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTANCE OF BIDS FOR STREET SIGN MATERIAL AND ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER TO PURCHASE SAME. Mr. Hart stated that this had been added as an emergency item due to the need to order this material as soon as possible, as traffic sign installation should be a priority item. Mr. Hart explained that the City had received the following bids: Vulcan Hall Superior The bids from Hall and Superior were received after the formal bid opening; however, after analysis of all bids, Mr. Hart recommended that the bid be awarded to Vulcan as lowest and best bid. Mr. Hart advised the Council that this was for some high intensity signs for major intersections (40 to 50 signs) with a majority of the signs being engineering grade material. He told the Council that street identification signs would be made by the City but that it was more economical to purchase ready-made traffic signs. Councilman Adeler asked the status of the $3,000.00 sign replacement grant. Mr. Hart answered that he would check on this prior to the purchase of signs. There followed a lengthy discussion. The Council expressed concern that they did not have adequate time to review these bids; they did agree that this was an emergency; and they previously had planned to have all city signs made by the staff with the recently purchased sign machine. Councilman Adeler moved to table this item until the next meeting. Seconded by Councilman Norwood, the motion was passed by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Ail members present voted aye Noes: None Mr. Hart told the Council that he would provide them with a cost analysis of the bids. 9.

Mrs. Jance Carroll, City Secretary, told the Council that a survey of incoming calls would be conducted to validate the need for this position. The Council will have the opportunity to review the need for this employee during the budget preparation process. After discussing efficiency levels and procedures, Councilman Adeler moved to approve the position of receptionist for the imterim period of July-September, 1980 with a beginning salary of $600.00.
