The Council and Staff then reviewed the agenda for the City Council meeting of November 13,
2001.
The Council discussed the Frisco Street names. Mr. Hatch advised the Council that it was his
understanding that Soto Street was to be changed back to Rock Island. The Mayor advised the
Council that Councilmember Favila had advised him that they wished to withdraw the entire
proposal. Since no one was present for clarification the matter is to be discussed at a future
meeting.
Mayor Woods presented a report on the Economic Development Oversight Committee. He
stated that the Committee met and will try to get Wayland, the City, the County, Chamber of
Commerce, and the Industrial Foundation and others all working together for economic
development.
Greg Zielinksi advised the Council that the Up with Trees project started with an idea presented
by Diane Dowdy, which was to have a lot of trees up and down 5th Street. The City currently has
20 Red Oak Trees in its tree farm and will try to go to businesses and get them to plant trees.
Dale Simpson presented Ordinance 01-3311, an Ordinance of the City of Plainview amending
Ordinance No. 01-3300 to Appropriate Funds in the General Fund in the 2001-2002 Budget for
Court Security; Cumulativeness Clause; Conflicts Clause; Severability Clause; and Effective
Date. He advised that there was $28,253.38 from fines available for security. This ordinance
allows the funds to be moved into a security account with the money only to be used for security
for Municipal Court. He advised that it was in the works to spend $17,000 to $18,000 for security
for Municipal Court and couldn't specifically state what was to be done for security reasons.
Since there was not a quorum present the first reading will be held at the November 13th Council
Meeting.
