DISCUSSION
Jerry McGlasson and Rex McEntire are in the process
of reviewing the adequacy of our current video
game ordinance. A report will be made to the Council
at the next earliest possible time.
Jim Harris, with Southland Financial Services,
appeared before the Council and discussed his
proposed zoning with the Council. It was decided
that Item #11 would be taken up in the Council
Meeting and recessed until June 13th. The Staff
was directed to prepare a history, with graphic
presentation of the Morgan Meadows East and West
drainage projects.
Rex was directed to move ahead with writing an
ordinance allowing the Director of Public Works
to refuse water service in various locations in
the City where there are persistent pressure
problems. This is a particularly bad situation
were a large number of units are placed on small
tracts of land, for instance trailer parks.
This ordinance should be prepared by the next
Council Meeting.
Richard Davis expressed concern regarding where the
Staff is at in procuring Civil Defense Sirens. He
was advised that Ron McKinney was looking into the
possibility of securing a Federal Grant to assist
in the cost.

square feet?

less than that he probably would not get it.

around multi-family.
Mr. Elliott stated that there would be a full disclosure of
the developments around and that the single family residents
would be fully aware of how the surrounding area was zoned
and developed.
Mayor Faram asked Mr. Elliott if 1,500 was a realistic figure.
