--- CITY MANAGER I S REPORT
JANUARY
3,
1989
1) SPECIAL THANKS
During LaVada1s recuperation, we have, as you know, been short staffed. However,
the continuation of the City's administration has been due, in large part, to the
extra and productive effort of Connie Fleming. Connie has tackled new and additional
assignments with a cheerful, willing and professional attitude. We would all be
worst off without her dil i gent and faithful effort. A 1 so, Mary Dowd and Theresa
Fox, have done their part to help during this time as well. I would appreciate
Council's recognition of the staff1s special efforts as you feel appropriate.
2) LAVADA'S RETURN
LaVada's is expected to return the first week of January. We are please to have
her return and have missed her help.
3) TU SUBSTATION LOCATION
TU survey crews have been given permission to survey the City's property at 315 W.L.D.
Lockett. This preliminary information will be used to determine if either site could
meet the El ectri c Company's need. Also be advi sed that Mrs. Mary Ann Da vi s of 6400
Pleasant Run may wish to address the Council, if TU proceeds with locating the
substation at L.D. Lockett and Pleasant Run. Mrs, Davis and her neighbors desire
to communicate their strong opposition to their location if such is considered further.
Also, Mr. Weldon S. Wilkes, 300 L.D. Lockett has expressed his strong opposition
to the possible location of the substation at 315 L.D. Lockett. He was encouraged
to let his views be known to the City Council and he probably will do so.
4) ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Council will recall discussing some economic development opportunities during the
budget process. One suggestion was to advertise Colleyville on a strategically located
billboard. The billboard on Hwy 121 2/10ths of a mile north of Cheeksparger and
on the east side facing north bound traffic and will be available March 16th, 1989
according to the owners. Current rental is $1400/mo. for a 12 month lease or $1,6800
annually. If council is considering such a promotion please let me know and I will
prepare a bid document to solicit bids considering that such an expenditure will
exceed $5,000. and this requires public bidding.
5) CONET MEETING
Dan Echols, chairman of the Conet advisory Committee considering a Northeast Tarrant
County FWY is requesting Council IS preference for a follow up meeting regarding this
issue. The chairman feels a mutual meeting of all the Cities would be beneficial
for all. North Richland Hills has offered to hold such a meeting. If this is not
acceptable to the Council, Mr. Echols is most willing to meet with the City Council
in the COlleyville Council Chambers. At either location, Mr. Echols plans to invite
Commissioner Hampton to explain his position regarding County activity or any progress
for a County assisted R.O.W. acquisition and/or roadway improvement.
