BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT. Mr. James Robison presented their
proposal on the Downtown Project. He mentioned the City's
participation may be in an effort to enforce collection of an
assessment program on the Project, the City helping in the way of
maintenance, and/or labor. Mr. John Warrick spoke on the Project.
Mr. Jack Oswald expressed his interest in the project. City
Manager Jim Jeffers explained that there was a possibility of the
City doing the labor on said Project. Mr. Jeffers explained that
TML was looking into the possibility of an assessment program of
maintenance of this Project. Mr. Jeffers indicated the following
technical problems that could be a possibility: dropping to one
lane of parking would create less parking in the Downtown area,
political concern due to the Frisco Park project request and fire
protection problems. After a lengthy discussion it was moved by
Councilman James seconded by Councilwoman Dorman to instruct the
Staff and Downtown Merchants Association to work on said Project
to identify and address all problems. Motion carried by unanimous
vote.
STREET LIGHTS. City Manager Jim Jeffers explained the
discontinuance of forty one street lights on the West side of
Broadway. Suggestion was made that maybe downgrading the lighting
system instead of turning it off, or maybe new lighting with the
beautification project would help. It was moved by Councilman
Aday seconded by Councilman Clements to separate the two projects,
the lighting on Broadway and the lighting of the Beautification
Project. Motion carried unanimously.

went over the request for funding for the Super Conducting Super
Collider Project. It was moved by Councilman Aday that the City
donate $2,000.00 to the Project if the Industrial Foundation and
the County would match the $2,000.00 also. Motion died due to
lack of second. It was then moved by Councilman James seconded by
Councilwoman Dorman to donate $2,000.00 if the Industrial
Foundation would also donate $2,000.00. If they do not then the
City does not. Motion: for James, Dorman, Clements, and Brown.
