The oath of office was administered to Mike
Vinson by Herb Arledge.
Stanley Day presented a report on the cost of
repairing equipment now owned by the city and
the cost of purchasing new equipment. Also
discussed contracting with Denton to use their
trucks. Nel Armstrong and Carroll McNeil gave
input to the discussion.
The motion was made by Jack Burkholder to
recommend that the Council investigate the
interest rate of $11,700 which is the cost of
remodeling the digger, derrick and. truck now
owned by the city. If the interest accrued on
this amount over the next two years would pay
the interest on a. new truck then the purchase
of a new truck would be more feasible. The
board will support the council's decision. The
motion was seconded by Chuck Trice and the
motion carried unanimously.
The motion was made by Jack Burkholder that the
city council will meet with the Denton County
Co-op and. try to work out a compromise. on
street lights in the Bourland addition, and
that an ordinance be adopted to protect Sanger
in future developments. The ordinance should
state that if Sanger does not provide the
electricity for an addition the city will not
provide free electricity for the street lights.
Any sub -division that comes in under Denton
County Co-op will have to form a home owners
association to pay for street lights. The
motion was seconded by Herb Arledge and passed
unanimously by the board.
Herb Arledge made the motion that the city
proceed in making an agreement with the State
Highway Department regarding lights on
Interstate Highway 35. The utility board will
