Hills contacted members of the City _Council requesting more decorations and more Christmas
lights. Due to this fact City Council has decided to purchase Christmas Decorations from Jim
Ewing, a resident of North Richland Hills. Mr. Ewing makes large lawn decorations with lights.
The city will purchase a sleigh, horse, trees and twelve extra trees. The cost will be $4,100.
Ms. Scoma would like it khown that the Beautification Commission did not want to go in the
direction of the banners, but did so because the Commission was influenced to go in that
direction. Electricity is not available on the medians on Watauga Road, so Christmas lights
