no problems with the City of Plainview using the parking lot for a
gathering place for the youth of Plainview. The following was
presented as possible suggestions for the Teen Parking Lot; hours
for the City of Plainview to provide lighting and security would be
Friday and Saturday evenings from 8:00 P.M. to 12:00 A.M., safety
w[olations and parking lot citations would need to be issued to
violators, with the fines collected being put into a special fund to
help offset some of the expenses of the parking lot; a one-way
entrance/exit should be considered to cut down on traffic congestion
and confusion, trash barrels would be placed in the parking lot to
help with cleanup; high school groups would be allowed to set up
portable concession stands during parking lot hours, the possibility
should be considered of setting up a teen/adult board to schedule
different activities during the parking lot hours. The City's
liability will be limited to the hours the City is in control of the
parking lot. The estimated costs for providing a teen parking lot
is as follows: per month; electric bill $20.00; police security
$553.00; maintenance $75.00; cleaning $72.00 with a total estimated
costs per month of $720.00; initial cost to repair parking lot
$621.00; total yearly costs for primary year $9,261.00 and total
yearly costs after primary year $8,640.00. It was the consensus of
the Council to proceed with the the teen parking lot on a six month
trial basis, and to contact Plainview Independent School District to
see if they would be interested in participating.

had met with Marlin Harris and inquired if he wanted to proceed with
the tax sale on the property located at 2518 Holiday, or drop the
matter. Harris advised that a third party was looking into
purchasing the property, and in turn he would purchase it from the
third party. It was the consensus of the Council that they would no
longer require the appraisal and list of leinholders, and to draw up
the necessary documents establishing a sell price.
Texas First. Council was made aware that Jim West of Southwestern
Bell Telephone has been contacting Councilmembers individually
asking them to endorse the Texas First Program. Texas First is a
