The Mayor Pro-Tem advised the public that even though the meeting
was open to the public, the meeting is for the Council to make a
decision on a proposal to Tarrant Utilities, a.nd the opinions of
the public should be resticted.
Bill Ratliff, the City engineer was able to present to the Council
the condition of the Tarrant Utilities Water System at this time.
Tarrant Utilities was asking for 1.750 million dollars for the water
system. The system is in working condition although needs improvement.
If we purchase the system we would take it as it is. It would be
10 years in bring ing the system to municipal order, but wit h the 2.l
figure this gives us some to work with to improve the system. This
was the figure given by our fiscal agent, Mr. Tom Anderlitch, as to
the total cost for the system. Mr. Ratliff advises us that the
price is a fair proposa.l. This gives us all the underground equipment
and any equipment not tied down except the vehicles. Mr. Ratliff re-
ported there are now approximately 1500 customers serviced by Tarrant
Utilities.
Piers Chance proposed to the Council that when we present our offer
to Tarrant Utilities we should attemp: an emergency basis with them,
and if agreeable it should include all surplus supplies. This was
agreea.ble with the Councilmen.
