narrow configuration, Brain's Company is interested in building
a store on this site which necessitates the drive being relocated
to the north 160 feet. This relocation would leave a strip of
land 120 -feet wide north of the proposed drive making it a usable
piece of property. The proposed relocation meets the minimum
offset requirements.

ITEM NO 19: CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT (Con.)
F. Mt. Knight stated that in the utility adjustments with Circle
"C" Construction Company a water line was discovered that was
not where our engineers thought it was The City approached
the contractor about what the cost would be to adjust this
water line so that it would not conflict with the improve-
ments proposed by the State Highway Department. The contrac-
tor submitted a cost slightly over $24,000 and is requesting
an additional 20 calendar days to do the work. Engineers
have estimated the cost around $12,000 to $14,000 and feel
like it can be done in a quicker time if the City works with
one of the local contractors on this project. Engineering
has verified some of the prices, although the City does not
have a firm price. In the interest of time the State is
needing to know if the City is finishing the utility adjust-
ments. The City does not have the leniency of time to
prepare a set of drawings and bid, but it would require a
change order.
Mr. Cribbs stated that this situation was considered an
emergency type situation where the City Council must act
within time constraints, and as long as the Council has four
favorable votes a change order can be allowed by the Council
and a lower bid may be accepted.
Mr. Walker moved to declare an emergency and approve a change
order to adjust the existing water line.
Mr. Ozebek seconded the motion.
Ayes: Messrs. Walker, Ozebek, Eden, Sternfels and Mrs. Park
Nays: None
Mayor Samuels declared the motion carried.
ITEM NO. 20: CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
A. Mrs. Park expressed gratitude to the Staff, citizens and City
Council for their help in making the public and other cities
aware of the fact that Euless was designated "Tree City

B. Mr. Sternfels thanked the Staff for expediting and their
manner of handling the access drive to South Euless Park, and
added that he was very pleased with the cleaning of the park.
Mr. Sternfels suggested the City install signs at the three
new entrances (ironbridge, Raidon Addition and the new road
extension) designating the land as City property basically to
keep people from dumping on the property.
Mayor Samuels stated that he would like to see "No Motorized
Vehicle" signs placed in all the park grounds, and City

could be handled easily with posted fines.
