Councilman Anderson moved, seconded by Councilman Ferguson, that the application for a Mobile Home Park on Lots 3, 4, and 5, Block 4, Denman Addition, as submitted by Harlan Huey, be approved as presented. Motion carried unanimously by those members present. ITEM VIII: CONSIDERATION OF A TAXICAB FRANCHISE. City Administrator Marshall Shelton advised that Mr. Keith Thompson had requested a taxicab franchise and that Mr. Jerry Goad already had a taxicab operation and that, possibly, both would like to address the Council pertaining to this franchise. Mr. Keith Thompson came beforee. the Council to make an application to operate a taxi company to be known as The Red Lion Taxi Companv. Mr. Thompson stated that he did not believe this to be an exclusive franchise and he would appreciate the Council's consideration. He said he believed a person should have a free choice as to which taxi thev would use - - - that the city is growing and, maybe, another taxi would be required - - - due to the increase in the price of gasoline, he thought there would be an increase in the taxicab business. Mr. Jerry Goad, operator of Kwik Kab Company, addressed the Council opposing another taxi service. Mr. Goad stated there are already three public carriers: a) the Senior Citizens bus, b) the Retarded Citizens' Transportation Service and c) his own commercial carrier. He said he did not think there was enough clientele to support two companies, that volume has kept the fares down as low as they are. If he does not have the volume, the fares will be increased in order to meet costs. City Attorney Joseph Chandler advised that this is not a franchise, It is a license and anyone meeting the ordinance requirements may be issued a license. After more discussion, Councilman Anderson moved, seconded by Council - man Ferguson, that a license be issued, subject to conformity to the ord- inance of the City of Stephenville for a taxicab for Keith Thompson's Red Lion Taxicab Company. Motion carried unanimously by those members present. ITEM IX: GERALD COOK REQUESTS VARIANCE FOR FMC. Mr. Gerald Cook, representing the local Chamber of Commerce, came before the Council with the request for a "variance" pertaining to the issuance of a building permit before the water and sewer lines are in- stalled on an undeveloped tract of land. Mr. Cook explained that it would be approximately two weeks before the sale of the land to FMC would be completed and, with the rising costs of construction, the Chamber of Commerce (the developer of the utility lines) would like to start construction of the lines just as soon as possible. FMC would like to get a building permit and start work on the building before the utility lines will be installed. 2Z Mayor Jones explained that it has been city policy not to issue a building permit before the water and sewer lines are in place. He said he concern was in issuing the permit then the sale not going through or it would be so long in starting construction that costs would have risen so much they would decide not to build. Mr. Cook estimated the cost of said lines to be $90,000 of which the city's part would be approximately $30,000. Mayor Jones suggested that the Chamber of Commerce put $60,000 in escrow and set a deadline as to when they would start construction of said lines to the property. Mr. Cook said that would be agreeable with the Chamber. Councilman Hammett asked how, in the future, this would be explained to a developer when he came in and wanted to put up escrow money and start building in a subdivision before the utility lines are installed? City Attorney Chandler advised that, by having the $60,000 in escrow, this would be an "in lieu of" situation rather than a waiver of strict adherence to city policy. Mayor Jones said he was interested in protecting the city's interests as well as accommodate the Chamber of Commerce and FMC. After much more discussion, Councilman McGee moved, seconded by Councilman Riggins, that the City Council approve the variance request with the provision that $60,000.00 be placed in escrow and construction of the water and sewer lines begin within 30 days from the date of the signing of the title transfer. Motion carried unanimously by those members present. ITEM X: BID AWARDED FOR HOUSES ON W. WASHINGTON STREET. Administrative Assistant Kurt Ackermann present the four bids received for the purchase of the house located at 2000 W. Washington Street. No bids were received for the house located at 2002 W. Washington Street. 1. Homer J. Irons ------------------------ $2,060.00 2. Robert E. Groves ---------------------- $1,556.99 3. Edward Reed --------------------------- $ 565.00 4. James Denton -------------------------- $1,111.11 Mr. Ackermann recommended accepting the high bid submitted by Mr. Irons. He said that Mr. Irons had indicated that he would negoiate a price to tear the other house down when he tore the house down that he bid on, if he got the bid. After some discussion, Councilman Leese moved, seconded by Council- man Anderson, that the City Council accept the high bid of $2,060.00 sub- mitted by Mr. Homer J. Irons for the sale of the house located at 2000 W. Washington Street and authorize the City Administrator to negoiate with Mr. Irons to tear down the house at 2002 W. Washington Street. Motion carried unanimously by those members present. ITEM XI: AWARD BIDS ON AMBULANCE Mayor Jones advised that as the ambulance is a joint operation by the city and county, he had talked with County Judge Mary McCoy pertaining to the bids on the ambulance and she had been advised that the county would have to invite bids also for anything over $3,000. The Mayor suggested that rather than consider the bids received by the city that are good for 30 days to let the county invite bids and consider whatever bids the county receives along with what the city has and be able on May 6th, along with the county to accept the bid... Mayor Jones, with the consent of the Council, tabled awarding the bid on the ambulance and hold those until the county can invite bids and have the bid opening Monday, May 5th at 10:00 a.m, then that afternoon the county and city can tabulate the bids and on May 6th the Council can adopt the bid along with the county's resolution. 26 County Judge Mary McCoy came before the Council and advised that this could have been prevented by having someone representing the Council meet with the Commissioners at budget time and also at the time the city decided to invite bids. Judge McCoy said the Commissioners would meet Monday, April 14, 1980, and suggested that someone,from the Council meet with them to advise them of the necessity for purchasing an ambulance at this time. ITEM XII: DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED FARMER'S MARKET Mr. Ross Armstrong presented the proposal for a Farmer's Market at the city park. Mr. Armstrong advised the Council that he was pro- posing putting a Farmer's Market at the city park under 1/2 of the large pavillion Tuesday through Saturday 8:OO a.m. until 6:00 p.m. It would, be under the supervision of the Parks & Recreation Department and all revenues would be turned over to the city. After some discussion, Mayor Jones appointed Councilmen Irwin, chairman, Hammett and Anderson as a committee to examine the pros and cons of such a market and report back to the Council at the May 6th meeting. ITEM XIII: AWARD BIDS ON TAPPING SLEEVES AND VALVES FOR THE WATER DEPARTMENT. Administrative Assistant Kurt Ackermann advised the Council that only one bid was submitted from Trans Tex, Arlington, Texas, and he recommended acceptance of the bid. Councilman McGee moved, seconded by Councilman Anderson, that the bid submitted by Trans Tex, Arlington, Texas, for tapping sleeves and valves in the amount of $1,202.75 be accepted. Motion carried unani- mously by those members present. ITEM XIV: FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT BY KENNETH HALEY Mayor Jones tabled this item as Mr. Haley was not available. ITEM XV: INCREASE IN WATER & SEWER TAP FEES Director of Utilities Danny Johnson presented the proposed increases in water and sewer tap fees (list attached to and becoming a part of these minutes). Mr. Johnson explained that it had been 5 years since these fees have been reviewed and, due to inflation, the city's charge for water and sewer taps is less than the costs for the materials, not including the manhours for installation. After some discussion, Councilman Hammett moved, seconded by Council- man Leese, that the City Council approve the increase in the water and sewer tap fees, effective May 1, 1980, as presented by Mr. Johnson. Motion carried unanimously by those members present.
