PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Amick led the Council and the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America 2. CITIZEN INPUT C.J. Underside, 5113 Ragan, representing the Cross Timbers Girl Scout Council, presented each of the Council with a box of Girl Scout cookies in appreciation for their support. Art Walker, 4816 Pemberton, said he objected to anything being named after Larry Sample, stating the citizens had put their trust in him and he had let them down and now the citizens had put their trust in this Council and by naming a street after Mr. Sample, they (the Council) had let them down also. Steve Bissett 4613 Freeman, read a prepared statement regarding the naming of streets and objecting to the name of Sample Street. Mr. Bissett suggested that nothing should ever be named after a living person. Joel Marks,5622 Foster, said he was the last president of the Softball Association before the City took over management of softball and that there had been some money left in the association account. Mr. Marks said it was understood that the City P & R could buy a Cats Drag at a cost of $750.00 if they had the money to do so. Mr. Marks then said he knows that The Colony Little League has donated $200.00 toward that cause and that the Softball Association would like to do the same. He then presented the City with a check for $200.00. Dick Weaver, 4940 HackneyL stated that at the time Sample Street was named, 2 people had voiced an objection and the Council ignored those objections and voted for the name anyway. Mr. Weaver asked if the Council pays attention to citizens. Mayor Amick said the Council does listen, but does not have to rebut, respond or agree with what is said. Ken Wood, 5000 N. Colony Blvd., stated he was joining in the objections to Sample Street. Mr. Wood said when this issue first came up he was neutral, if not slightly in favor of the name, thinking that Mr. Sample had probably made important contributions to the City that overshadowed his latter statements, going on to say that when he realized that citizens who had objected publicly had then received harassing phone calls, he felt this was contrary to what he expected of a public servant and that he could not condone such behavior. Mr Wood said he hoped the Council would not be able to condone that behavior either by naming a street for Mr. Sample. James Vanderburg, 7208 Garrett Pl., read a prepared statement (see attached "A") objecting to the naming of a street for Larry Sample. Bill Manning, No. 2 James Cir., expressed his displeasure, dismay and disappointment at the Council's actions with regard to the naming of a street after Larry Sample who's exit of the city had been an embarrassment to the City. Dr. Manning said he did not think the City should name a street after Mr. Sample, furthering to revere is name in The Colony. -- 3. MAYORAL PROCLAMATION DECLARING MARCH 21 THROUGH MARCH 27, 1988 BETA SIGMA PHI WEEK IN THE COLONY.

Mr. Gustafason asked if the Council had any questions regarding the report that had been provided the Council in their packets.(see attachment "B") There were none. Mr. Gustafason said he believed the equipment list met the requirements of the --- contract. Mr. Gustafason said it is always a pleasure to come before the Council in The Colony, stating that he missed seeing Jack Blalock. He then said that we need to go on and schedule the Spring Clean-up in The Colony, stating that April is "Keep America Beautiful Month". He said that Waste Management, Inc, of which T.W.M. is a part has expanded into port-a-lets, portable buildings, fencing and several other areas. There were no questions from Council. Mayor Amick thanked Mr. Gustafason and stated that he had received no complaints on the company since the last report was made. Ken Wood asked about the possibility of using "mini dumpsters" so animals can't get into the trash. Mr. Gustafason said he is aware of that system, but that is much more e~pensive, stating that it is being considered in the rural pa~iof~Denton County. Mr. Gustafason said he would like to work with the City regarding a special clean up along with local organizations, to beautify the entire city and keep it that way. 5.

Mr. Hall said the P.D. Ordinance requires a development plan within 6 months of zoning, but due to economic constraints, Mr. Lindberg had been unable to do that, and had come in to request an extension of the zoning.

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT Mayor Amick stated that this is a new item to provide the Council and the audience with updates on various issues, going on to say that questions will be entertained, but that no lengthy discussion will be allowed. Mr. Hall reported on the following items: 1. E.A.S. UPDATE - On February 16, 1988, the PUC heard a report regarding E.A.S. Today, the City received a report from Charles Land regarding those findings. The PUC has agreed that E.A.S. is still an option to small cities. The Colony is the only city in on the PUC docket and it is set for November 1988. The Colony needs to now negotiate with the phone companies regarding the appropriate rate for the service. It will not be mandatory. The Colony is the only city in Texas with E.C.C. and we would like to keep that 0O2916 option as well as E.A.S. The rates in the report are recommended at $50.00 ~per resident and $100.00 per business. Ken Wood asked if we could place a copy of that report in the Library so the public could review it. 2. UPDATE OF PLANO PARKWAY - the parkway is complete. The drainage inlets are still not complete. The hold up has been weather related and the right turn lane is the big hold up. We don't know the projected opening date. Mayor Amick said this is not the State but a private contract and the City cannot invoke contract penalties as with other contracts, going on to say that the City will not sign off on the road until the right turn lane is complete. Joel Marks asked if the property on both sides of the road are within The Colony and Mr. Hall said yes. Mr. Marks asked if the City is aware of any negotiations with Mr. Billingsley for development and Mr. Hall said we are not aware of any definite plans yet, but that several people have been looking. 3. REQUEST FROM NORTH TEXAS REPEAT SERVICE TO INITIATE EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE - Arley Goldman, amateur radio operator has always ~been around to help in emergencies. The local operators would like to set up an Emergency Communications Service in The Colony for use in emergency situations, i.e., bad weather, etc. Mayor Amick said that if we consider this , we need an agreement with them to turn off the radios if it interferes with our city communications system. Councilman Harris asked for the model number of the antenna system. 4. UPDATE ON GOLF COURSE - This will be on the March 21, 1988 Council agenda. The golf course to have been built by private funds by Mr. Dick Watson, has fallen through. We have received a proposal from someone else and would like the Council to hear it. _~ 5. NOTIFICATION BY COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES TO INCREASE CABLE T.V. RATES - Just to let the Council' be aware that the basic rates as of April 1, 1988 will increase from $7.80 to $9.50. At this time, Mayor Amick said that another work session regarding Redwood Development needs to be set to hear from the developer and also the Chief of Police and the Fire Chief, as well as Tommy Turner. The Council agreed to hold a work session on Monday March 14, 1988 at 7:30 p.m. With no further business Councilman Harris moved to adjourn and Councilman Spears seconded the motion. A gentlemen in the audience spoke up and asked the Council how the citizens can get a response to their objections to the street being named Sample Street. Mayor Amick said that once an item has been acted upon it cannot be placed on another agenda for six (6) months, without the written request of at least four Councilmembers. The motion to adjourn then carried with all members voting Aye. Mayor Amick adjourned the meeting at 8:48 p.m. APPROVED: Don ~mick, Ma~f v , ATTEST: City Secretary · ATTACHMENT ~A~ '.'~S ~ RESIDENT OF EIGHT YEARS AND A BUSINESSMAN IN OUR COMMUNITY FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS I FELT COMPELLED TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING REMARKS.REGARDING THE NAMING OF A STREET AFTER MAYOR SAMPLE, AS I UNDERSTAND THE STREET IS BEING NAMED SAMPLE BECAUSE MR.SAMPLE WAS MAYOR/CITY COUNCILMAN.

A memorandum dated October 13, 1987, was addressed and reviewed regarding options that could be taken on the present Ordinance that is in a "moratorium" status. : After lengthy discussion and exchange of ideas, the folIowing proposals were agreed upon for recommendation to the City Council: 1. Require each and every agent/landlord to register with the City for a license. 2. Prepare for the Inspection Department an accurate listing of each and every rental property listed by that agent/land- lord on an annual basis. 3. An administrative licensing fee would be charged under the following structure: a. One rental property $ 25.00 b. Two or more properties $100.00 4. The requirement for an annual S.F.R. Inspection be deleted. Based on an average turnover of two (2) years, the Certificate of Occupancy Inspection (C.O.) would maintain property integrity and not require the inspection of an occupied dwelling. Note: the occupant will still retain the right to call for an inspection at any time they feel the landlord is not maintaining the property on a health and safety basis. 5. The Certificate of Occupancy fee be increased from $20.00 to $25.00 based on administration costs. 6. An a~ent/landlord may add properties during the licensing period, however, must present an accurate count on the expiration/renewal date of the license. Failure to report additions at the renewal period would constitute an Ordinance violation and a penalty charge would be imposed for each and every property not reported.
