October 6, 1972
Stephenville, Texas
The City Council met in a called meeting at 3;00 p.m. on the above date with Mayor Jones
presiding and the following members present: Toby Stone, Garland Loudermilk, Charles
Riggins, Larry Hammett, and Doug Smithey.
Others present were: City Administrator Shelton, and Director of Public Works Gann.
Mayor Jones said he had called the meeting for the Council to consider three things, but
as all members of the Council were not present, he would present them and let the members
present decide whether they wanted to act on them or wait for all members to be present.
The first thing the Mayor brought before the Council was a resolution from the Director
of the Chamber of Commerce, Gerald Cook. Mayor Jones read the resolution which asked the
City to support the Chamber of Commerce in a city wide clean up campaign beginning October
9, 1972 through October 28, 1972. Motion was made by Councilman Riggins, seconded by
Councilman Loudermilk, to accept the resolution as read. Motion carried. (Resolution
attached to and becoming a part of these minutes).
Mayor Jones then reported he had received a letter from Mr. C. H. Maguire, Jr. of the
City Planning Commission concerning the Smithey and Christian Sub Division. The Mayor then
asked City Administrator Shelton to read the letter to the Council. In part, Mr. Maguire
stated in his letter that the reasons that the preliminary plat for the Smithey and
Christian Sub Division which is a portion of Lot 16, Block 139, City Addition, had not been
approved by the Planning Commission in their September and October meetings were that it
04 not comply with the Sub Division Ordinance in two instances. One, the cul -de -sac turn
around size of 661 which should be'80'and second, the length of the cul -de -sac which is
7201 and should be 6001. Mr. Maguire also stated in;!his letter that he did not think any
building permits should be issued on this addition. After considerable discussion, it was
decided to wait until the full Council was in attendance and members of the Planning Commission
were present before making a decision on this matter. Mayor Jones set Thursday, October 12,
1972, at 1:00 p.m. for the next meeting and asked that all members of the Council and Plan-
ing Commission be notified.
Mayor Jones said the third subject on the agenda was the Sanitary Landfill site. The Mayor
then reported that Eddie Caudle had indicated he would not extend the option past October
16, 1972, on the property in the Oak Dale community for the landfill site. City Administrator
Shelton reported that several places had been brought to his attention that were for sale.
After discussion of some of these places, it was decided to continue to look at any places
that were available and at the next meeting decide whether to let the option on the Eddie
Caudle property expire or not.
Mayor Jones adjourned the meeting at this time.
