a) Doug King, Pastor of Cooper Creek United Methodist Church presented a
donation of "Teddy Bears" to the Sanger Police Department. Chief Benny
Erwin received the donation. Mr. King indicated that in today's society there
are so many children who are abused or involved in crime scenes. These
bears can be used when a child is in distress. Mr. King stated that we live
in a community where children do not see their officers as a friend.
Sometimes the officer has to make an arrest in a volatile situation where a
child is involved, and by having a bear he is able to show the child that
someone does care.

Keaton Road. He indicated that it was a mess and the tar was coming
through the street and the gutters and ditches are full of gravel. Mr. Moore

Mayor Coker advised that the P&Z had not taken action on this item because the
board had several concerns that needed to be addressed. Therefore, the P& Z tabled
this item until a later date.
The Council expressed their concern since it was in the City's CCN's, however, the
developer had to bring the water line and sewer line to the City's line. The property
is adjacent to the City Limits on FM455 and across the street on Marion Road which
would allow the City to annex the property in the future.
Mr. Preston indicated this was costly to the developer if they had to extend the line.
Mr. Preston asked Council that if Sanger does not allow Bolivar Water to serve
them water, can the developer put his own wells on the property.
Discussion.
This issue was discussed at length since this property is not only in the City's ETJ
but it also adjoins City property, and can be annexed.
Several questions were raised and Council felt a workshop was needed to address the
issues involved.
Mayor Coker Declared Public Hearing Closed.
