Utility Board Mins 01-03-1985EMERGENCY CALL MEETING
BANGER UTILITIES BOARD 1/3/85 7*00 PM
The meeting was called to order by Herbert Arledge. All members
were present along with City Manager, Lloyd Henderson and Electric
System Manager, Don Waddell. Also present was Rick Suehla of the
City of Denton.
Lloyd Henderson gave the Board a summary of past and present pro-
blems between the Cities of Denton and Sanger in reference to
Reciprocal Agreements and the Testing and Licensing of electricians
in both cities. The City of Denton has stopped its Recriprocal
Agreement with Sanger and will no longer recognize Sanger elec-
tricians working in Denton by this agreement.
John Coker made the motion that the Utility Board recommend to
the City of Sanger not to reciprocate with the City of Denton
on any electrical license issued by the City of Denton and that
this action should take effect immediately. The motion was
seconded by John Henry. Vote was unanimous. The Board felt that
this action would be the the first step in the process to remedy
the problem. We further discussed the problem with Mr. Suehla in
hopes of setting up a county wide board that will handle testing
and licensing in the future.
Next, the Board discussed the Interchange Agreement with Brazos
Electric. John Coker made the motion to accept the agreement as
drawn, seconded by Carroll McNeill. Vote was unanimous.
The Board heard from Don .Waddell on the matter of request from
citizens to test or check electric meters that citizens felt
were inaccurate. Waddell recommended that a fee be adopted similar
to that of Brazos. No action was taken at this time.
We then discussed the manpower situation in the Electric Department.
Waddell indicated that Mike Pennington had resigned and accepted
a job with Denton County Coop. A motion was made by John Henry
that the Board recommend to the City Council that the city hire
two additional persons for the electric department. One to be
a Class-B Lineman to be hired immediately and the second to be a
Groundsman - Trainee to be hired within six months. The motion
was seconded by John Coker. Vote was unanimous.
The remainder of the meeting was taken up by discussion of the
other city utilities. The Board felt that sufficient attention
had been given to the Electric System and it was now time to move
on to other areas. The Board also asked that the Water System
Manager be asked to attend the January 28th meeting.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned on
a motion by Carroll McNeill and seconded by Jerry Jenkins.
