Mayor Armstrong called attention to the new Sanger Flag which
was presented to the city by the Sesquicentennial Committee.
1. Mayor Armstrong called the meeting to order, gave the invocation,
and led the pledge to the American Flag.
2. The minutes of the January 6th meeting were approved as printed.
3. Disbursements totaling $1141333.38 were approved on a motion

4. Motion was made by Harvey W. Thomas to accept Planning and
Zoning's recommendation and approve the preliminary plat of
Lots 1 and 2, Block 12, Sullivan West Addition for L. R. Gray.
Carolyn Adkins gave the second. Voted unan.
5. Mayor Armstrong advised council that Parrent had been before
the P. & Z. and they approved the plat with the following
requirements: they asked the subdivider to put a road
through Lots 9 and 10, place culverts where applicable with
a minimum size of 12"1 construct hard surfaced streets,
install 4, 2" flush valves, and required some arrangement to
guarantee the streets would be paved. Discussion. Parrent
distributed corrected maps to council with the changes so
indicated. Mayor Armstrong asked Parrent where the flush
valves would be placed. Parrent stated he would leave that
up to his engineer. Parrent stated that the county would not
accept deadend streets. (Reference made regarding deadend
streets because P. & Z. had requested Bejoy Street be extended
through Lots 8 and 9, of Block A). Shutt stated it was not a
deadend street. A deadend road is one that is planned to be
deadend forever. Parrent: As far as I am concerned it is
deadend cause I don't own anymore property out there.
Mayor Armstrong informed Parrent of the possibility of the
road being extended if the adjoining property was ever develop-
ed otherwise some of the properties would become land locked.
Freddy Inman stated it was a continuous outlet for that property.
Shutt stated it will allow road routes to connect other
subdivisions in the future.
.. Street construction was discussed. It was stated that the
county charges $10,000 per mile by the subdivider when
subdivision is approved. The money is put up front and is
used to construct the road within a five year period. County
furnishes all labor. County requires the subdivider to put
down 8" of base. Mayor Armstrong stated that she had talked
with County Commissioner Switzer and he had stated whatever
the city wants to do they will accept or if the city wants
to accept the plan the county is using, all the city has
to do is draw up a letter stating that the money would not
be returned to the developer without the City of Sanger's
approval. Discussion.
Motion was made by Carolyn Adkins that the preliminary plat
on Indian Springs Phase II be accepted as shown with the
addition of county specifications according to paving.
Harvey W. Thomas gave the second. Voted unan.
Parrent requested to know if his final plat would have to
go back before P. & Z. Discussion. Council stated no it
would come directly back to council but to be sure and include
Item 6 county specifications according to paving.
Parrent stated that he had paid the City Secretary $150.
for the plat process fees. Parrent asked if it could be
waived because he felt the plats were already approved in
1978. Stated he didn't feel he should be charged the $150.
Mayor Armstrong stated it was not on the agenda and no action
could be taken that council would talk about it later.
6. Council considered Ordinance No. 86-1 Setting the date, time,
and place of public hearings on the proposed annexation of
12.195 acres in the Tierwester Survey for Burl Bourland.

lishing a building inspection department, amending the

and commercial structures. Discussion.
Thomas stated that he wanted it where the contractor could
call in for a permit and then the city bill him at the
end of the month. Jenkins stated that the city had had this
request from Donald Tuttle and it was denied. Thomas stated
the city needed to change its process if they were going to
put in codes like these.

are working on it, they say it looks good but they cannot
give a quote or bind coverage at this time that it will be
approximately 30 days before the information is available.
Discussion.

to see if the city has 30 days to cancel the policy (flat
cancellation). If we do not have 30 days how that the city

Shutt stated the city is at a point on property acquisition
208.
on the westside where within the next 30 to 45 days the city
will have to make a decision as to what to do there. Shutt
stated he and the engineers had looked at the possibility
of rerouting the project (because property owners are
requesting large sums of money for easement right-of-ways)
which doesn't seem to be feasible. Shutt stated by the
end of February the city will need to make a determination
to reroute or go for condemnation. Section 5 of the project
is pretty much ready to go but if the easements cannot be
worked out then the city will be in violation on Section 5.
(d) Shutt stated he had found a new landfill site across the
tracks on city property. Stated he had made arrange-
ments with the Southwest Disposal Company to haul off
