3rd year $24,000

for codification of city codes was allocated, gasoline expense,
and furniture and fixtures were added into the first year figure.
It was also noted that Mr. Reyes was advised if the program was
not funded during the 2nd and 3rd year that he would be terminated.
It was further understood and discussed that at no time would
Mr. Reyes be paid out of city funds (only the federal funding).
After the first year, raises (if any) would be given Mr. Reyes
at the same time city employees received theirs, which is normally
determined at budget time but his would come from the federal
funding.
Motion was made by Donn Nesbitt to hire Mr. Juan Antonio Reyes
for a base salary of $1751000 plus benefits and a $750 moving
allowance. Henry Cooper gave the second. Voted unan.
2. Consider amending the Truck Route Ordinance = Donn Nesbitt
requested Council's confidentiality regarding -the main road to
Lake Ray Roberts. Nesbitt told Council the main road been desig-
nated as FM455. He explained that the Corp of Engineers is dead
set against the present looping of FM455 and would prefer the
straight shot from 5th Street to 2nd Street. This strip is now
designated as a city truck route. The Corp is unable to initiate
action with the state as long as this strip is designated a truck
route. Nesbitt proposed to Council to put up a sign reading
"No Through Trucks Allowed," and the city must write a letter to
the Corp of Engineers stating this fact. They can in turn put
pressure on the State to redo the portion from 5th to 2nd and
extend FM455 without looping. Billy Jack Hollingsworth was
opposed to changing the designated truck route unless it was for
only a short period of time. Council requested the City Manager
and Donn Nesbitt to contact officials of the State Highway
Department and the Corps of Engineers and set up a meeting and
see what can be worked out.
This item to be placed on the Council Agenda for June 15th.
3. Water Improvements Item taken off the agenda.
Meeting adjourned.
