/~'-.,..
//
Date: April 21, 1988
Subject: Suprene Court Ruling on State and IDeal Bonds
The purpose of this report is to transmi t the recent ruling of the United
States Supreme Court pertaining to federal incaœ tax for interest paid
to individuals on State and Local Govermnent Bonds (see attached Wall
Street Journal article).
The high court ruled that interest paid to holders of State and Local
Govermnent Bonds I1lëlY be taxable for federal incaœ tax purposes. That
decision overturned a ruling of the Suprene Court that has stocx1 since
1895.
The ruling _now gives Congress the authority to tax such incaœ in the
future. Older issues of General Obligation and Revenue Bonds are not
affected by this ruling. This may adversely affect the ability of local
govermnents to issue new debt at canparable rates in today's market.
Respectfully subni tted,

Supreme Court Rules'Congress Is Free
To Tax Interest o~ Stàte;Local ~onds .
-'.~ ~ ~
By STEPHEN WERMIEL .
Scalf R~portn of THE WALL STREET J~UftHAL
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court
ruled that Congress Is free to tax Interest
on state and local government bonds and
upheld a 1982' federal law requiring states
to keep records of who buys such bonds.
The decision won't have any Immediate
practical effect on the status of the bonds.
It is unlikely that Congress wiH now rush
to raise revenue by taxing municipal bond
Interest. Moreover, states have been com·
plying with the requirement to keep rec~
ords of bond owners since JUly 1983.
, But yesterday's mUng created uncer·
talnty and jitters In bond markets and
among state and local government officials
because it left no legal barrier against tax·
Ing bond interest, were Congress to make
that decision. And the ruling may also af·
fect lawsuits challenging Congress's taxa·
tion of some types of government bonds.
The Senate's chief tax writer yesterday
sought to reassure bondholders and state
and local officials. "With regard to basic
garden-variety state and local bonds, It's
hard to imagine any Congress or admlnls·
tration proposing to tax (that) Interest, It
said Finance Committee Chairman Uoyd
Bentsen (0., Texas). "Tax exemption on
those bonds is extremely popular." .
The hlgb court, In an opinion written bÝ
Justice William Brennan, ruled 1·1 that an
1895 Supreme Court decision making state
bond interest exempt from federal taxes
is no longer valid and has brçn gradually
overruled by a series of other ,high court
decisions. '
Until yesterday, the precise status of
the 1895 decision was unclear, and local
government officials and bond experts
were using it as a weapon to try to limit
congressional attempts to tax bond inter-
est. .
In recent years, as pressures to find
new sources òf federal revenue have muJti- .
plied, Congress bas occasionally turned to
municipal bonds. In 1982, as part of a ma-
jor federal tax revision, Congress required
that state. and local governments Issue
their bonds In registered form. or lose
their tax-exempt status.
Registration requires a bond Issuer to
keep a record of owners' names and ad·
dresses; interest is mailed to them. This
change was urged by the Reagan adminis-
tration because the previous practice-of
issuing bonds payable to the bearer. with
interest coupons-led to widespread eva·
sion of capital gains and estate taxes.
This part of the 1982 law was challenged
by South Carolina and by the National
Governors' Association in a lawsuit flied
directly in the Supreme Court in 1983. and
it was that case that the Justices decided
yesterday.
Legal specialists say the ruling also will
affect challenges to other efforts by Con·
gress to tax some types of government
bonds. Lawsuits hav~ been med challeng'
ing provisions in the 1986 tax law making
"private purpose" bonds subject to the fed-
eral minimum tax on Individuals and cor-
porations. Private purpose bonds are is-
sued by local governments to fund indus-
trial development.
These lawsuits relied on the 1895 Su-
preme Court decision and are now likely to
be thrown out. according to Albert Lauber.
a former Justice Department deputy solici-
tor general who handled the case. "This is
an important victory for the federal gov-
ernment."· he said. "Congress has been
'chipping away in this area, but there Is
now no cloud hanging over Congress."
The stakes are high if Congress contem-
plates further taxing municipal bond Inter·
est. Aides noted yesterday that Congress
could raise about $54.7 bllUon over five
years by taxing general purpose state and
local government debt. When Sen. Bob
Packwood (R., Ore,) In 1986 proposed in-
cluding aU municipal bond interest In cal-
culating the minimum tax. It caused chaos '
in bond markets for two days before the
Idea was dropped.· ~
In challenging the registration law. lo-
cal officials said It interfered with states·
autonomy. And they said taxing unregis- :
tered bonds wouJd violate, the immunity
guaranteed in 1895. I . , ,
Yesterday. state and local officials saw
the ruUng as a major legal and phllosophl·
cal defeat and a new threat to their financ'
ing options. Alan Beals. director of the Na·
tional League of ClUes, said It was Uke "a
decree of unconditional surrender imposed
on state and local government." '
Use of the bonds by state and local gov-
ernments is already shrinking, according
to National Governors' Association aide I
Richard Gellman, because of 1986 tax law
changes. He said that only SUM btlJion In
bonds were Issued last year. compared
with about S205 billion In 1985. But state of-
ficials still see them as critical to the n·
nancing of roads.'. scbools, bridges and
other projects. because Interest costs nm
, between 25'0 and 35'0 below rates for taxa·
ble bonds. . .
"You're talking about substantial in-
creases that are going to have to be borne
by taxpayers," Mr. Gellman said.
Justice BreMan said In his opinion that
the registration law doesn't violate the 10th
Amendment, whicb reserves for the states

. pointed out that they and their state and
municipality clients long ago stopped using
constitutional arguments to justify tax·ex-
empt status. And they're virtually certain
that no matter what Congress decides
about taxing municipal Issues in the fu-
ture, It won·t remove the tax-exempt
status from the S115 billion In existing se-

cal entities. ' .
"PollticaUy. Congress Isn't going to do
that," said Mr. Koenen, emphasizing that
most players In the municipal business
have always assumed that "our protection
Is political. not constitutional." . .
Indeed. Mr. FrledJander said the dec1·
slon could be helpful In the long ron. He
said his firm and others can now argue to
: state and local finance officials that they
need to concentrate on the economic
soundness of tax-exemption for municipal
bonds and drop ill-founded clatms of con·
stitutional protection that Congress cUdn·t
acknowledge anyway.
"Constitutional protection has been a
shield that some of them have hidden be-
hind," he said. "Now they can't hide be-
hind it any longer. They've got to go to
Washington and ariue policy, not protec-
tion. " . ~
Both he and Mr, Koenen suggest that
key congressmen already are taking a
more sympathetic view of the funding·
problems facing state and local govern-
ments In the wake of the 1986 tax law,
which imposed tough new curbs on tax-ex-
empt bond Issuance.
"There's a mucb more open and fair cU·
alogue," said Mr. Koenen. "They lunder-
stand that some or all of the restricUons
are costing state and local governments
money and not bringing In the anticlpa~
revenue. There's a sense of openess by
Washington to look at specific issues. It

that as Congress and a new prestd~t be-. ~
gin casting for ways to lower the I federal
budget deficit in the next few years. µ'ey'll
find municipal bonds a tempting target.
"Congress wilJ be revisiting some of the
earlier proposals Uke a value-added tax. a
gasoline tax or Increases in income tax
rates." said the head of municipal bond op-
erations at a large bank. "Now state and
local government financing will be a part
of that package"· . . ;
Municipal bond fund managers braced
for a Ourry of questions over the next fèw
days from confused investors. "I expect
we'l) get a lot of calls from dealers and
shareholders once the reports start getting
out there," said Andy Jolmson, director of
municipal securities at the Franklin Group
of funds In San Mateo. Callf. With $16 bil-
lion in municipal bonds, Franklin is one of
the largest municipal bond fund man·
agers.

CITY OF

_ Council Meeting Date:

PS 87-48
Agenda Number:
This Short Form Plat Application is presented for consideration of Lot 5, Block 4,
Hewitt Estates. The property is located on the south side of Hewitt Street west of Post
Oak Drive. The property address is 7608 Hewitt Drive.
The purpose for the Short Form Plat is to identify the existing property by Lot and
Block. The subject property is currently occupied by the applicant's residence. The
applicant wishes to improve the existing residence and construct an accessory
building/garage. The platting was required by the Subdivision Ordinance.
I In reviewing the Proposed Platting the Public Works Director noted that the lot is
ii','1 currently served by City water but is on a septic tank system for sewer and the existing
street in front of the property is unimproved. Under the requirements of the
Subdivision Ordinance the applicant must provide full development service to the lot,
:::'1 including the installation of the sewer and the construction of the street adjacent to
the subject property. The applicant has responded to these requirements by requesting
consideration of a variance which would relieve him of the immediate requirement of
:¡'II."I these two items. He indicates that the sewer system to serve his lot has not been
extended and is beyond the three hundred (300') feet maximum stated in the Water and
I Sewer Policy Manual. He also notes that the entire block of Hewitt Street where he is
" ~located is not currently improved. The Staff is of the opinion that the applicant's
II ~arguments are valid. However, if the variance is granted it should be with the
! stipulation that covenant agreements be required of the applicant guaranteeing future
, voluntary assessments on the sewer and street construction.

Subject: PS 87-48; HEWITT ESTATES,
Lot 5, Block 4
Final Plat
We have reviewed the referenced material and offer the following
comments.
1. Add City Council approval block.

Rezone property prior to platting and show new zoning
designation on plat.
3. Plans by a registered professional civil engineer must be
submitted for the extension of the existing sanitary sewer
located to the west of the property. The sewer will have
to be extended approximately 285 feet plus an additional
163.27 feet across the back of the property. The plans
should include all manholes necessary and trench safety plans
for any trenching deeper than 5 foot.
4. Show existing and proposed overall width of Hewitt Drive
right-of-way to determine if 13 feet of dedication is sufficient.
,511':- . Provide metes and bounds that encompass entire property
prior to street dedication. This should be shown on plan
view and in description.
6. Street escrow for Hewitt Drive wi¡l be due at $45.72 for
163.84 feet. The total escrow required will be $7,490.76 based
on frontage shown.

proceedings of the City relating to said improvements and assessments
therefore, and is less than the proportion of the cost allowed and
permitted by the law in force in the City.

Although the aforementioned charges have been fixed, levied and
assessed in the respective amounts hereinabove stated, the City Council
does hereby reserve unto itself the right to reduce the aforementioned
assessments by allowing credits to certain property owners where curb
and/or gutter or paving presently exists..
Notwithstanding the City Council has herein reserved the right to
issue credits as hereinabove provided, it shall not be required to issue
such credits, and will not do so, if same would result in any inequity
and/or unjust discrimination.
The principal amount of each of the several assessment
certificates to be issued the City of North Richland Hills, Texas, as
hereinafter provided, shall be fixed and determined by deducting from the
amount of any assessment, hereinabove levied such amount or amounts, if
any, as may hereafter be allowed by the City Council as a credit against
the respective assessments.
IX.
For the purpose of evidencing the several sums assessed against
the respective parcels of abutting property and the owners thereof, and the
time and terms of payment to aid in the enforcement and collection thereof,
assignable certificates in the principa,l amount of the respective
assessments less the amount of any respective credit allowed thereon, shall
be issued by the City of North Richland Hills, Texas, upon completion and
acceptance by the City of the improvements in each unit of improvement as
the work in such units is completed and accepted, which certificates shall
be executed by the Mayor in the name of the City and attested by the City
Secretary, with the corporate seal of the City of North Richla,nd Hills, or
its assigns, and shall declare the said amounts, time and term of payment,

improvements abutting upon such property for which the certificate is
issued, and shall contain the name of the owners, if known, description of
the property by lot and block number, or front feet thereof, or such other
descriptions as may otherwise identify the same; and if said property shall
be owned by an estate, then the description of same as so owned shall be
sufficient and no error or mistake in describing any property, or in giving
the name of the owner, shall invalidate or in anyway impair such
certificate, or the assessments levied.
The certificates shall provide substantially that if same shall
not be paid promptly upon maturity, then they shall be collectible, with
reasonable attorney·s fees and costs of collection, if incurred and shall

the City Secretary of the City of North Richland Hills, Texas, who shall

demand for the same, and the City Secretary shall deposit the sums so
received in a separate fund, and when any payment shall be made to the City

of the certificate by the holder thereof, endorse said payment thereon. If
such certificate be assigned then the holder thereof shall be entitled to
receive from the City Secretary the amount paid upon presentation to him of

shall be the Secretary's Warrant for making such payment. Such payment by
the Secretary shall be receipted for by the holder of such certificate in
writing and by surrender thereof when the principal, together with accrued
interest and all costs of collection and reasonable attorney's fees if
incurred have been paid in full.

proceedings with reference to making the improvements have been regularly
had in compliance with the law, and that all prerequisites to the fixing of
the assessment lien against the property described in such certificate and
the personal liability of the owners thereof have been performed, and such
recitals shall be prima facie evidence of all the matters receipted in such
certificates, and no further proof thereof shall be required in any court.
Said certificates may have coupons attached thereto in evidence
of each or any of the several installments thereof, or may have coupons for
each of the first four installments, leaving the main certificate to serve
for the fifth installment, which coupons may be payable to the City of
North Richland Hills, or its assigns may be signed with the facsimile
signatures of the Mayor and City Secretary.
Said certificates shall further recite that the City of North
Richland Hills, Texas, shall exercise all of its lawful powers, when
requested to do so, to aid in the enforcement and collection thereof, and
may contain recitals substantially in accordance with the above and other
additional recitals pertinent or appropriate thereto; and it shall not be
necessary that the recitals be in the exact form set forth, but the
substance thereof shall be sufficient. The fact that such improvements may
be omitted on any portion of any of said units adjacent to any premises
except from the lien of such assessments shall not in anywise .invalidate,
affect or impair the lien of such assessment upon other premises.
X.

errors, invalidities or irregularities, either in the assessments or in the
certificates issued in evidence thereof, is in accordance with the law in
force of this City, vested in the City.

Purchase of Lomputer Alded tmergency ulspatch System _
Resolution No. 88-12 Agenda Number: PU 88-24
The proposed system will replace the manual system of dispatching calls for service by
automatically retrieving data elements from E-9-1-1 call screens, recommending unit
assignments based on location and unit availability, assigning proper district and
reporting area designations and logging all related information. As a result of
automation, the approximately 69,000 annual calls for service will be handled more
promptly and accurately by reducing steps required for handling calls for emergency
service.' The reduction in manual steps should reduce overall the Fire and Pol ice
Department1s response time.
This system also provides benefits not available under our current system including:
- Apartment Complex Layouts
- Building Layouts
- Hazardous Location Warning Areas
- Elapsed Time Warning Signal
- Enhanced Information Processing and Report Generation
This system will be compatible with Mobile Data Terminals (MDT's) when (if) they are
purchased by the City.
By acting now and buying the hardware and software together we are able to effect a
savings of approximately $15,000 as opposed to delaying the purchase until a later
~ime. The software is a single source item and must be purchased with the hardware in
order to get the combined price of $22,500. The software is to be paid for by the
Police Department in the amount of $12,300 from Drug Seizure funds. The balance of
$10,000 will be paid from Fire Department Non-General Fund allocations.
Funding Source
As indicated above, the proposed Police funding is from Drug Seizure funds and the Fire
Department funding is from Move-In Budget in the CIP Funds. The proposed funding is
listed as follows:
01-00-00-4314 Escrow Special Investigation
13-90-86-6250 Move-In Costs - Capital
Total Cost
$12,300
10,200

EMERALD HILLS YAY PAVING IMPROVEMENTS
BID TABULATION
In accordance with your instructions, bids were received on April 14,-.1988, for the
referenced project. This project includes paving improvements on Emerald Hills Yay
from Davis Blvd. to Cork Lane. Also included are paving improvements on Emerald
Court. Alternates were provided for both asphalt paving (Alternate 1), and concrete
paving (Alternate 2). A summary tabulation of the low bidders is presented below.
Bids were received from a total of five (5) contractors.
The low bid for Alternate 1 (Asphalt Paving) was received from J.L. Bertram Company,
1007 Harrison Avenue, Arlington, Texas 76010. The low bid'for Alternate 2 (Concrete
Paving) was received from Austin Paving Company, P.O. Box 947022, Ft. Vorth, Texas
76147. The bid tabulations are broken down as follows:
Alternate 1 Alternate 2
* J.L. BERTRAM * * AUSTIN PAVING * Budget
(Asphalt) (Concrete)
Total Low Bid $ 202,146.76 $ 286,803.06 $ 329,600
Calendar Days No Bid 135 270
The following· is a summary of all bids:
ASPHALT CONCRETE TIME
J.L. Bertram $ 202,146.76 $ 299,112.36 No Bid
Austin Paving 236,944.91 286,803.06 135 Days

lower than the budget, and Alternate 2, by Austin Paving is $ 42,796.94 lower than the
budge t .
A $5,000 allowance has been provided in this contract for miscellaneous water or sewer
adjustments which may be required, such as sprinkler system adjustments, etc., but no
budget for major water or sewer line replacements is provided. If during construction
of the street pavement, it is revealed that additional underground water or sewer main
adjustments are required, then extra utility funding will be necessary.
Regarding the two alternates provided in this contract, Alternate 1 includes a 6.inch
thick asphalt pavement section on 8-inches of stabilized subgrade, and Alternate 2
includes a 6-inch thick reinforced concrete pavement section on 8-inches of stabilized
subgrade. Because of the expansive soils upon which the proposed pavement will be
constructed, you can anticipate future movement and cracking of both an asphalt or
concrete pavement surface throughout the life of the street. Soils in the area of
Emerald Hills Vay are unstable and similar to those in the Harwood Road vicinity where
evidence of subsurface soil movement also exists.
A two-year maintenance bond is provided in this contract which requires the contractor
to repair all cracks or pavement failures during this maintenance period. Ve would
defer recommendation of which Alternate to award, asphalt or concrete pavement, to the
Public Yorks Department.
Based on the bids submitted, we would recommend award of the contract to J.L. Bertram
Company, if Alternate 1 (Asphalt) is selected, in the amount of $ 202,146.76 for a
period to be negotiated, or to Austin Paving Company, if Alternate 2 (Concrete) is
selected, in the amount of $ 286,803.06, for a period of 135 Calendar Days.
Ve will be present at the April 25, 1988, Council meeting to answer any questions you
may have concerning this project.

Approval of Proposed North Richland Boulevard/

(FM 1938) Traffic Signalization by the State
Council Meeting Date: 4/25/88
Agenda Number: PW 88-11

[I
The Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation (TDH&PT) has contracted with
a private engineering firm for all design work on FM 1938 (Davis Boulevard) Street
Improvements from Emerald Hills Way to Rumfield Road (Starnes Road). The plans
including the traffic signalization at the subject intersection have been completed.
The State first took traffic counts on the subject intersection in March of 1986 and
warranted the signalization. It appears that possibly the City·s preference at that
time as indicated to the State was College Circle & Davis Boulevard (see attached).
The State came back and took traffic counts on North Richland Boulevard & Davis
Boulevard and Mockingbird Lane & Davis Boulevard in November of 1987. The counts
revealed that signals were warranted here also. Due to the very short distance between
these two intersections, they would have to be signalized at the same time and with only
one controller, such as a typical four-way intersection.
Discussions with TDH&PT staff members has revealed that the State can install either the
signals at College Circle & Davis Boulevard or the North Richland Boulevard/Mockingbird
Lane & Davis Boulevard signals. The State requests that we let them know as soon as
~ossible. No monies will be required by the State if we elect to go ahead with signals
at College Circle & Davis Boulevard intersection. If the City decides that the first
signals should be installed at North Richland Boulevard/Mockingbird Lane & Davis
Boulevard, then the State may request the City to pay for the necessary redesign which
may cost approximately $7,500.
The request for change in location of the signalization from College Circle to North
Richland Boulevard/Mockingbird Lane would require TDH&PT approval from Austin as well as
Federal Highway Department approval. A possible delay in the beginning of construction
could occur due to this redesign and approval process.

Re:
Signalization at Davis Blvd.
and College Circle
Dear Mr. Renfro:
The City of North Richland Hills would like to construct a
traffic signal at the int~~~ection of Davis Blvd. and
College Circle.
I have enclosed three copies of a diagram showing the phasing
of the traffic signal at this location. Because of the planned
improvements on Davis Blvd. in 1987 we are proposing to use
creosoted poles with span wires at this time.
When the improvements to Davis Blvd. are accomplished in
1987, we will switch the signals to steel overhanging type
poles at that time.
.. .......--.... .~. -
We plan t~ use a four phase controller at this location with
timed loop detectors at the location shown. The loop detector
for the center lane north bound on Davis Blvd. would be set
far enough back that it would take approximately three vehicles
waiting to make a left turn before the signal would cycle
for the left turn., The center north bound lane would still
be allowed to continue through and there would also be
a permissive left turn ·on a green signal.
Hopefully, the timed delay loop on College Circle would be
enough to allow right turners to turn right without causing
Ii, '~.::~ ..,~ -"'~~ ~: t1a~~:g~~~:to cycle., -"'--~-_.'O.q~'---.~~,:~---.v_~",:?:::7;=:::::

DISCUSSION
ASSIGNMENT
The Safety Committee for Smithfield Elementary
School appeared before the CIP Committee
requesting sidewalks on the east side of
Smithfield Road. They stated that the cost
would be approximately $10,000 to do this
and that they would like to have the Council
consider this. The CIP Committee stated
that the staff would check out the details
for putting a sidewalk at this location and
report back and this would be an agenda item
for the meeting of January 26, 1987. The
staff report will be given to the Council
before the regular agenda is sent out.
Gene
The CIP Committee instructed the staff to
keep working on the right-of-way for Watauga
Road. If the right-of-way was not obtained
by the Fall of 1987, then the staff was to
put this before the Council for condemnation
of all right-of-ways that we had not obtained
for Watauga Road.
Gene
The CIP Committee recommended that the following
owners of property of the Starnes Road right-of-
way be placed on the next Council agenda for
authorization of condemnation. These owners are
B. R. Seale, W. H. Long, and Goode, Inc. (Henry
Sutton).
Gene
Dennis Horvath made a report that this owner's
right-of-way should be in any day now. It was
a matter of their attorney getting the document
and check to the Cranes for their signature.
The CIP Committee also instructed that when we
construct this leg of Hightower Drive that we
consider taking it all the way to the east
boundary of the new box culvert on Hightower
and to activate getting the additional right-
of-way along Hightower.

DISCUSSION
The CIP Committee instructed the staff to
have the Planning and Zoning Commission make
a recommendation to the Council on this
matter and to recommend a change in the
thoroughfare plan.
The CIP Committee recommended that this be
placed on the next Council agenda and
recommended that the Council approve
participation on Holiday Lane to Starnes
Road on the east boundary of the new
school site.
The CIP Committee recommended that we proceed
with engineering and construction of five
signalized intersections within the city.
It was recommended that the Council
approve this project as soon as we have a
cost estimate to do the project and as
soon as several complications are cleared
up on some of the intersections. The
intersections recommended for signalization
are: Starnes Road and Rufe Snow; Starnes
Road and Smithfield Road; College Circle
and Davis Blvd.; Lola and Holiday Lane;
and, Smithfield and Chapman. The
construction of the signal on Starnes and
Rufe Snow will be held up until we get
the City of Watauga to participate
on this intersection. The signal at
Starnes and Smithfield Road will be
held up until Starnes Road is reconstructed
in the near future. There are three
intersections that probably can proceed
at this time without any problems, and
they are: Smithfield and Chapman;
College Circle and Davis; and, Holiday
and Lola.
The CIP Committee recommended that we ask the
County to resurface Hightower (from Rufe Snow
to the west side of the new box culvert) on
Hightower and Douglas Lane (from Hightower to
Starnes Road). This is a budgeted item and
does not require Council approval for the
funding. A letter was to be drafted to the
County Commissioner making this request.

Fort Worth, TX 76115
Dear Mr. Stone:
The signalization project at Maplewood and Davis Boulevard (F.M. 1938) is a
most welcome addition, but we do wish to reemphasize the need for
signalization further north on Davis Boulevard at either College Circle or
North Richland Boulevard - whichever your research shows to be the most
effective location. You are, of course, aware of the imminent plans to
construct a 28,000 square foot post office facility on the west side of
Davis Boulevard - approximately SOD.feet north of College Circle.
r would also like to call attention to a couple of problem areas on Highway
26. Left turn lanes at the Harwood Road intersection are badly needed to
facilitate the flow of traffic on Highway 26. The other problem location
is at the flashing light at the top of the hill. A left turn lane for
south (west) bound traffic entering Tarrant County Junior College is needed
for safety. We would greatly appreciate anything that can be done to
facilitate the solution of these other problem locations.
,
Again, we appreciate what is being done at this time at Maplewood Drive and
Davis Boulevard.
Sincerely,
~

possibility of a traffic signal at

instead of the one planned for College

It was determined that the proposed·

with area builders and developers.
There was very little response from
the builders at the Public Hearing

letters). The next meeting is less
formal than t'he Planning and Zoning and
hopefully we can have more participation.
