DISCUSSION
Mrs. Moll had made a request to try to move the
sidewalk to the other side of the street. Council-
man Davis reported that he had talked to Mrs. Moll
and told her that they must get the right-of-way
for the sidewalk as instructed by the Council. It
was decided to drop this matter until someone with
the Smithfield Elementary PTA gets back in touch
with us.
It was decided to recommend to the Council that we
participate in the Lola storm drain system with
Birdville Independent School District.
A discussion was held concerning the opening of
Vance Road to the freeway service road. A
decision was made to ask the Church to pay for this
roadway at this time and recommend approval of this
project to the City Council.
After discussion of Redondo Street at the recreation
center/library it was decided that the City Manger
would contact the owners east of the egress/ingress
easement and ask them if they approve of closing
the street to thru traffic. In addition, a traffic
count was to be taken prior to the recreation center/
library opening and another traffic count taken
after the opening.
A lengthy discussion was held concerning the use of
bond funds for paying part of the existing personnel's
salary from these funds. Some CIP Committee members
felt that the paying of existing personnel from CIP
funds was not desirable. However, they did decide to
recommend to the Council to spend money out of the
CIP fund to pay new employee salaries where their
jobs áre directly related to the CIP program. These

jobs are: replacement of one technical construction
inspector and pay one new technical construction .
inspector and a special projects accountant. In
addition to these people, it was agreed to purchase
one one-half ton pickup truck. A total for the 86-87
budget year will be $34,080. In addition, it was
authorized to purchase office equipment and furniture.
The total cost for this program is $17,575 for 1986-87
budget yéar. The recommendation from the CIP Committee
to the Council would be to approve the hiring of the
personnel mentioned and the purchase of the equipment
that was mentioned.
A discussion was held concerning the installation of a Gene Riddle
new water main from the Watauga Road booster pump
station going north from the station then east to
Denton Highway. It was felt that this new water main
was necessary to distribute more water into the City
of Watauga and also in case the existing main breaks
down, the City of Watauga would not be out of water for
a prolonged period of time. The CIP Committee recommended
to the City Council to approve this project and authorize
the engineer to proceed with same.
A discussion was held about the participation of the Gene Riddle
widening of Grapevine Highway near Loop 820. This
would be the area where the Calloway Creek crosses
Grapevine Highway. The CIP Committee approved the
recommendation to the Council to participate in the
widening of Grapevine Highway with the State and
Burk Collins involved.
Marie Hinkle stated that she had had a request for the Richard Royston
closing of Fountain because of burglaries in the area.
It was decided to ask Richard Royston to further
investigate this matter and report back at a future
meeting.
Rodger N. Line brought up a matter concerning several Rodger N. Line
streets that needed to be opened up and some bridges
that needed to be widened across Loop 820 in order
to facilitate the traffic going to the Industrial
area. It is felt that doing this would generate a
considerable amount of interest developing in our
industrial area and would facilitate traffic. The
CIP Committee looked at this project favorably and
they felt like it would be a workable plan. These
projects will be discussed further in connection with
the Worth Blake report on Economic Development, Phase I.
