amount to $2,945.41. Mr. Cribbs stated that it is his understanding that
there were no competitive bids taken on this project.
11 1 Mayor Fuller inquired if the developer
put the oversized lines in without discussing this with the City.
Mr. Walter E I I iott, representing the
developer, stated t h a t the water and sewer l i n e plans for this development were
prepared by Mr. Royce Wisenbaker prior to the City's purchase of the water and
sewer system, and in accordance with the needs of the particular area. He
stated that bids were taken, and that Mr. H. M. Huffman was the low bidder.
However, the bid procedure was not the same as conducted by the City.' Mr.
Elliott stated that he discussed these lines with Mr. Knight, former water
and sewer department superintendent for the City of Euless, and that the
installation of these lines was prior to the City's adoption of the policies
and procedures which regulates the laying of lines and constitute an agreement
between the developer and the City.
In answer to a question, Mr. Ratliff
stated that if the City decides to finance the oversizing of these lines, the
money could be expended from the Water and Sewer Capital Improvement Escrow
Fund.
After considerable discussion, City
Attorney Cribbs stated that he cannot recommend that the Council expend over i
$2,000.00, and that in his opinion, the Council does not have full control. I
over this project.
Mr. Elliott stated that he does not
understand the meaning of "full - control ". City Attorney Cribbs stated that
he means the Council did not have control over the bids.
Councilman Byers made the motion that the
City participate with the D.B.R. Corporation; in the amount of $1,945.41.

this motion failed for lack of a second.

replace a line as a temporary measure in order to accomodate the sewerage in
the area; that this had been confirmed with the Mayor, the City Secretary, and
the Water and Sewer Department Superintendent, Mr. Brewer, and that Mr. Josh
Cowart had been employed on a temporary basis to assist in this emergency.
However, there was not time to secure Council authorization in this matter.

instrumental in initiating an immediate solution to this emergency as raw
sewerage was flowing into the creek and was not only endangering the area for
the citizens of Euless but also cattle graxing on adjacent lands. Mayor
Fuller 'stated that he has advised- Mr. 4-en Weber that the City Council, in his
opinion, would be desirous of -payment of these damages by the developer in
Morrisdale as the damage was caused by workers performing duties for the
developers, Mr. Weber and Mr. Huffines.
Mr. Ratliff stated that, at this time, he
is unable to give a definite figure for this replacement, however, he would
estimate from $2,000.00 to $3,000.00.
Councilman Douglass inquired as to the
securing of bids if the amount would be in excess of $2,000.00. Mayor Fuller
stated that this situation is an emergency, and that in his opinion, that
it would not be necessary to secure bids.
City Attorney James Cribbs stated that
he would recommend that the City authorize expenditures; that, this, in his
*opinion, definitely -seems an emergency. Mr. Morong, Fiscal Agent, stated that
he would recommend that this expenditure be disbursed from the Water and Sewer
System "Emergency Fund ". The City Secretary advised that this .matter had been
discussed with Mr. Ratliff and Mayor Fuller, and it was agreed to the fact
that this was definitely an emergency, that this money should be expended from
the "Emergency Fund" for these repairs.
Councilman Fuller made the motion -to
approve the engineer's recommendation to proceed with emergency replacement of
the sewer l i n e in the Morrisdale Creek not to exceed $3,000.00, and to be
expended from the ''Emergency Fund ". Councilman Warren seconded the motion, and

firms, Gregory, Knowlton and Ratl iff and Forrest and Cotton, incorporated.

that underground streams w i I I deplete a I I their water source. He stated that
the report that was submitted to the Northeast Cities Advisory Council by the
two engineering firms was a very fine report, and that in his opinion, should
be submitted to the Council of Governments as they are a planning government,
and that this move should be initiated immediately. Mayor Fuller commented

had investigated water sources -and discussed surveys with the Tarrant County

received several calls from citizens concerning vandalism in the area and
desiring to know if there is a teenage curfew law in the City of Euless.

GARBAGE DISPOSAL COMPLAINTS
Councilman Byers stated that he has
received several complaints concerning the garbage pick -up in the area. Mayor
Fuller stated that he has previously mentioned to the Council that, perhaps,
the City should consider a source of garbage collection other than by franchise
agreement with a private firm. Mayor Fuller stated that he had collected
information and brochures pertaining to heavy waste disposal and various means
of handling it. He stated that possibly a citizens group'could check into
this matter and make recommendations to the Council. He further commented
that some cities have municipal collection and are making money from this and
that it vould be financed with rLavenue bonds. He further commented that he
would make available the materials that he has collected on this matter in order
for a survey to be made. Mayor Fuller inquired of Mr. Samuels if he would be
willing to be chairman of a committee to investigate the problem of garbage
disposal. He stated that this would require several months of research and
that the City will furnish the materials necessary.
(Councilman Warren returned to the Chamber
at this time.)
Councilman Samuels stated that he does
not have the time to give to this project; however, in the event that he is
not re- elected to the Council in next Tuesdays election, he would serve on
such a committee.
It was suggested that the Euless Better-
ment Association might undertake this project. Members of the Council agreed
that members of the Betterment Association should be approached with this
idea. Councilman Samuels stated that he would be willing to represent the
City as a liaison between the Betterment Association and the Council if the
Betterment Association will agree to undertake this project.
