The City Council of the City of Plainview met in a special called session along with the Hale County Cc~missioners Court at 3:00 P.M. Tuesday, June 28, 1983 in the Council Chambers.

County Staff present: T~rry Peckham, County A~ditor, and Ray Purcell, Airport Manager. Phil Hamilton from the "Plainview Daily Herald" was in attendance. This meeting was called and posted in order for the two governing bodies to discuss two items - the improvements on the Plainview-Hale County Airport and the employment of a family planning nurse for the Plainview-Hale County Health Department. John H~tchel presented a new proposal for funding the improvements at the airport - 90% of the project would still be funded by the FAA, but would require the infusion of $30,000 from the Airport's maintenance fund to off-set required matching contributions of the local governments. This would reduce the cost to $63.,325 for the City and County respectively. A lengthly discussion was carried on with the consensus being that the improvements being needed and it not being prudent business to not take advantage of a 90/10 grant from the Federal Government. The Airport will off-set the cost of seal coating by the contribution of $10,000, and will apply an additional $20,000 to the grant for lighting. Councilman Tom Aday made the motion for the City that the plan be accepted and it was seconded by Councilman Carl Tillerson - the motion carried unamiously. The Hale County Cc~missioners also approved unamiously. The next item discussed concerned the acceptance of a grant frcm the Texas Department of Health to fund a public health nurse for family planning. M~ch discussion evolved around the fact that this service was a duplication of services provided by other governmental funding sources. Councilman Aday pointed out that when the Health Unit was established it was primerly for environmental services. A motion was made by Councilman Woods for the City to reject the acceptance of the State grant - the second to the motion was made by Councilman Taylor - the motion carried unamiously.
