RESOLUTION NO. R87-266
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PLAINVIEW, TEXAS ADDRESSING CONCERNS AS EXPRESSED
BY THE FRISCO NEIGHBORHOOD COI, D~ITTEE.
WHEREAS, the Frisco Neighborhood Committee appeared before
the Plainview City Council on March 24, 1987, and expressed
numerous concerns for the Frisco Neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, City Administration studied said concerns and issued
a report dated May 1, 1987; and
WHEREAS, the Frisco Neighborhood Committee has reviewed the
report and accepted the conclusions in the area of: flood
control; street lighting; mosquito control; police protection;
street paving and dirt street maintenance; and
WHEREAS, concerns still exist with the Frisco ~eighbo{hood
Committee in the areas of: civil Defense warning siren;
neighborhood park; and railroad crossing warnings.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the city Council of the City
of Plainview that city Administration ,,conclusions" reflected in
the report of May 1, 1987, on the following topics: civil
Defense; flood control; street lighting; mosquito control;
police protection; street pavement and dirt street maintenance
are hereby accepted and recommendations are to be implemented as
soon as practical.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that City Administration is instructed
to give further study to the City of Plainview's civil Defense
Warning Systems and develop an official policy to be applied not
only in the Frisco Community but throughout the entire City which
will afford the City adequate protection within current fiscal
constraints with said final recommendation to be submitted to the
City Council for review no later than September 1, 1987.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that City Administration is to work
with the Frisco Neighborhood Committee in identifying a potential
pa~ site within the Frisco subdivision. The City Council
regretfully must deny the request for utilization of City Reserve
Park Funds for they are currently obligated towards the
maintenance and improvements of existing parks. The city Council
is of the opinion that existing developed park land is more than
adequate for the overall community and with current fiscal
constraints the added expense of developing and maintaining an
additional park is fiscally unwise. If the Frisco Neighborhood
wishes to develop and maintain a park in the Frisco Community,
on leased city property, City Administration shall provide what
technical assistance possible including the preparation of grant
applications.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that while street lights have been
installed on 9th Street adjacent to railroad crossings the
Railroad Companies have not yet responded to the City's request to
analyze the need for a ,'railroad crossing warning system"
therefore the City Manager is requested to follow up on said
request.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Frisco Neighborhood
Committee, led by Lionel Garcia and Rebecca Escalante, is to be
commended for their expression of concern and are to be encouraged
to continue to ,,communicate" with the appropriate City officials
their needs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that city Administration is to take
the necessary steps to assure that the needs of the Frisco
Community are reviewed and responded to in the appropriate fashion
within the confines of the fiscal constraints and policies of the
City of Plainview.
I, Sheryl Owen, City Secretary for the City of Plainview,
hereby certify that the above Resolution was adopted by the
Plainview City Council on July 14, 1987.
