MAYOR'S ACTIVITY REPORT - None
COUNCIL ACTIVITY REPORTS - None
City Manager Ron Wicker reported he had talked to the architect and the building
superintendent this morning and had assurances we will be moving this Friday. We
have had a furniture refinishing company do touch-up work on the office furniture we
received from Chevron and it all looks top-notch. We were very fortunate to have
been given this very fine quality furniture. If everything goes as scheduled now,
the moving company will be moving the furniture into the new City Hall this weekend
and this Friday, City employees wil be unloading desks and moving boxes.
City Attorney Luke Daniel reported he has returned from the Attorney General's Open
Meetings and Open Records Seminar held in Austin last Thursday and Friday. Hearing
the latest interpretation of that policy, he feels the City is basically on the right
track concerning policy on open meetings. There is one change we will be making.
The Attorney General recommends that when an ordinance specifies a penalty, the
agenda should reflect such.
City Tax Assessor/Collector Barbara Lenamon reported she and Jo Knight of the School
District will be going to the Appraisal District and sitting in with the Board of
Review when they finally place a value on Houston Helicopters (Nodlef) for 1985 and
1986. The City has a preliminary value from the Appraisal District of approximately
$580,000,000.
CITIZENS - None

Public Works Director Bill Thomasset advised Council that Old Alvin Road from Orange
Street to Knapp Road and John Lizer Road are in desperate need of repair. Old Alvin
needs to have a wider street and better drainage, but because of cost restraints, we
are recommending this year to tear up and replace the surface, doing a little work on
the subgrade. The drainage will stay about the same and it should be good for
several years. On John Lizer, we are in the process of obtaining 20' of right-of-way
on the south side which will give us 60' of r -ow and we plan to completely rebuild
the street. Both streets will be closed during construction.
These two streets will most likely use all available funds. We don't know what kind
of bids we will get, but if any additional money is available, there are other
streets badly in need of repair and perhaps a few can be done.
It was moved by Councilmember Frauenberger, seconded by Councilmember Tetens, that
City Staff proceed with the 1987 Street Rehabilitation Program and advertise for bids
on Old Alvin Road from Orange Street to Knapp Road and John Lizer Road from Old Alvin
to Mary's Creek Bridge and report back on those. bids received for any other
allocations that might be possible.
There was a general discussion among Council and Staff concerning street construction
priorities, costs involved in completely redoing Old Alvin Road, making it wider and
completely redoing the drainage.
Motion passed 4 to 0. Councilmember Mack abstained.
