1.Call Meeting to Order.
Mayor Higgs called the meeting to order.
2. Discussion on Banking and Finance Reorganization.
City Manager advised that Cheryl Estes worked three and a half days last week and got things
straightened out and streamlined. She is able to work from her home and will only need to be
here a couple of days per month as a part-time contractual employee. If this doesn’t work out,
then a Finance Director position will need to be created with a minimum of a bachelors degree
and/or hire a CPA.
3. Discussion on Oil and Gas Well Ordinance.
City Manager stated that the City has received a couple of calls inquiring what our ordinance is
for oil and gas well drilling. Currently, the City does not have any ordinances in place for this and
thought we should get one in place in the event that someone would like to drill in the future. The
proposed ordinance is from the City of Weatherford, Texas.
City Manager briefly went over the process, location and other requirements.
City Manager will check into ETJ, annual inspections and maintenance and will put this back
on the agenda in April.
4. Overview of Items on Regular Agenda.
5. Adjournment.
Mayor Higgs adjourned the meeting.
