Mayor Faram asked if there were any objection if
item number five on the agenda were heard first,
inasmuch as the City Attorney had to leave as
quickly as possible. There being no objection,
the City Attorney presented information
regarding the disclaimer #48-19418-73 to be filed
in a suit Hurst has filed against Colleyville.
It was City Attorney McEntire's opinion that this
matter was actually solved in another case involving
Keller and North Richland Hills. Motion was made
by Councilman Ellis, second by Councilman Cato, to
approve the disclaimer in case #48-19418-73 as
presented. Motion carried 6-0.

proposed project, a mural to be painted on the
wall of the Municipal Complex at the front
entrance. He explained the problem encountered
so far, the inability to find a paint that would
adhere permanently to the vinyl wall now in the
entrance. After contacting the architect, he
still didn't have a firm solution but felt
there were two alternatives: remove the present
finish and textone and paint or insert panels in
the area. The City Council instructed the staff
to obtain information regarding the best solution
and let the Committee know the results. Mr. Tipps
then called on Mrs. Hulda Littlefield to make a
report on the financing of the project. Mrs. Little-
field made a report on the plans to solicit donations
and, in return for donations, to issue certificates
showing the donor to be a participant in the bicentennial
project. She stated it was the Committee's desire that
the City Secretary, Mrs. Winnie Barclay, be responsible
for issuing the certificates. Also, Mrs. Littlefield
told the Council there were plans to plant pecan trees
in Richfield Park and have the circle drive through
the park called Heritage Trail. The Bicentennial
Committee was thanked and congratulated for a job well
done by the Mayor, Councilmen Ellis, Conant, Lamond,
Cato, and Councilwoman Goodnight. Motion was made by
Councilman Lamond, second by Councilman Ellis, to approve
the application and project as presented. Motion carried
6-0.
There being no other items on the agenda, the meeting
was adjourned.
